Trump's immigration policies may lead to humanitarian crisis for migrants in Mexico

Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency is expected to significantly impact migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. Many, like Genesis Bonilla from Venezuela, fear losing their chance for safety as Trump plans to shut down the current asylum appointment system. Currently, migrants in Mexico are using the CBPOne app to request appointments for asylum, but with Trump’s election, they may face a total shutdown of this system. This could leave hundreds of thousands stranded in Mexico, vulnerable to crime and without support. As conditions worsen, migrants may resort to dangerous methods to cross the border. The situation is expected to lead to increased kidnappings and exploitation by criminal groups, while public support for migrants declines in both the U.S. and Mexico.
