A mechanical workshop holds a migrant shelter in Metepec

In the shelter you can find two migrant profiles, Lucía explains: who goes to the United States, and those who stay in Mexico.“There are those who only rest to regain strength, feed, sleep well and continue their way, which can be by train or bus, heading to Monterrey or Tijuana.And those who stay to wait for the procedure or permission, a visa that allows them to be inside and move within the State of Mexico ”.However, in many cases the wait extends for months, and the result can be negative even for women with daughters and sons.

Then the time comes to think about what to do."The shelter works as a place to think, to contain, to know where they want to go, or if they wantDetails Ortiz.

“In this shelter we have the case of a girl with her daughter who has a month and a half in the shelter, her husband could barely reach her in another caravan.Right now they are resting and thinking what they are going to do.They are from Honduras, they arrived in Chiapas and there they were working for a while, they continued on their way to Mexico, they still do not know if they go to Monterrey or Tijuana, they still are not clear.Migrants are making decisions on the way.This idea that they have an established plan is not something I see, ”says Lucía Ortiz.
