Just last year, Mexican authorities apprehended about 25,000 illegal immigrants. Chipas, a land that borders Guatemala, is a major crossing point for Central American immigrants heading north. On November 14, a “truck was stopped and searched at a routine checkpoint over the weekend” said the Defense Ministry. The soldiers that were looking for drugs instead found 140 migrants inside a tractor trailer. The two men were detained in connection to the migrants. In May, authorities said they found more than 500 migrants crammed inside two tractor-trailer heading toward the United States. This is really sad that so many people must migrate to America. Most of them move because their living conditions aren’t well. Hopefully, the people of Mexico can get more help and not have to risk their lives sneaking pass the border.
