The migrant emergency facing the US
Central America is experiencing an unprecedented emergency. Between 18 and 27 January, Mexico intercepted 2 000 migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua. These countries, including Mexico, occupy seventh to tenth place, among the top ten in the world from which movements of economic migrants and asylum seekers originate.

And a mass exodus from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras has been classified by relevant reports, such as the Prevention Action Update, as one of the main international threats of 2020 to the United States.
The official figures, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Organization for Migration, reflect an increase of 80 percent since 2017 and 400 percent since 2014. Countries from which migrants leave for the United States are also places of transit and destination. In 2019, the reception requests of Central Americans in the same region grew around 90 percent compared to last year and about 150 percent since 2014.
