clandestine travel
Countless migrants of various nationalities travel the highways of Mexico in search of the United States border for refuge or attempt to cross, mostly on an irregular basis.
Most travel clandestinely, hidden in trucks, in overcrowded conditions and subjected to mistreatment by the ‘polleros’, as traffickers are known.
In early August, at least 18 people were killed and another 23 injured after a bus carrying local passengers and migrants from countries such as India, the Dominican Republic and the African continent fell into a canyon in the northwestern state of Nayarit.
In February, another clash in the same border area between Puebla and Oaxaca left 17 dead and 15 injured, including migrants from Venezuela, Colombia and Central America. (JO)
