Mexico gives African migrants 20-day pass to get to U.S. border

Mexico gives African migrants 20-day pass to get to U.S. border, by Leo Hohmann.

Migrants from Africa, Haiti and the Middle East are swarming across the border in a mad dash that is being facilitated by Mexican officials, according to new reports.

Dozens are reportedly finding their way to the U.S.-Mexican border illegally every day. Think Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Haiti, Pakistan and Sudan.

According to an article in the Saudi Gazette, Mexico is giving a 20-day free pass to the U.S. border to illegal aliens from Africa and Haiti.

The Saudi Gazette reports: “With few diplomatic ties with African nations, it is difficult for the Mexican authorities to deport illegal migrants from Africa home.

“As a result, many African migrants are given a temporary transit permit, giving them 20 days to leave Mexico. In practice this allows them to continue their journey towards the United States border without being detained by immigration officials.”
