Kidnap and Torture on the U.S. Border


Migrant workers are leaving Mexico to try to make a better life for themselves and their families. However, they are not reaching their destinations because they are being targeted by criminals. Many migrant workers are being kidnapped, tortured and even murdered. The U.S. Border patrol reports that it has intercepted 800,000 migrants and asylum seekers at the U.S. Mexico border so far this 2019 fiscal year.
Many migrant workers and asylum seekers are fleeing to the borders for safety only to be in worse situations than they imagined. They travel for miles and miles and are faced with being extorted by smugglers and kidnapped. They are fleeing to make a better life for their families and remove themselves from the violence and murders in their own country. But find that they are faced with their own nightmares as they flee the roads and journey to forbidden territory. The territory that they are not even wanted in, but they still try to reach asylum.
Thousands of people are stuck on the Mexican side of the US border after changes in policy have made it more difficult for asylum seekers to enter the US.
The Trump administration says these policies are working to stop migration on its southern border and that Mexico is responsible for their safety. But these policies could be putting thousands of people in direct danger.
