“Here in Tapachula the “HUACHICOLEROS” of migration continue to work, those people who charge exorbitant amounts to migrants, we see Cubans guarded on Playa Linda because they have money and there is no persecution of anyone, here there is only persecution of people who are living in the parks, but they are not going to look for those who have to pay them, they are not looking for them, they are arranged with the authorities through these lawyers who are charging not only 1,500 dlls, now up to 5,000 dlls, we make a call to President of the Republic to the Secretary of the Interior to stop the corruption in this part of the southern border “.

“The effect it will produce is great, there are many people coming from Central America already, people from Peru are already migrating, people from Africa are already migrating, there is already more migration and this in mid-2022 is going to be chaos, something needs to be done What Mexico needs is to become independent from what the United States says they are affecting us and Mexico is doing what the Biden government wants, the one who is governing Mexico’s immigration policy is Joe Biden.”
