Migrants stranded in Mexico try to start a new life after Trump eliminates legal pathway to US

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - Many migrants have been left stranded in Mexican border cities after the Trump administration immediately canceled tens of thousands of appointments made through a government app called CBP One that offered a legal pathway to the U.S. Some have returned to their countries.

Margelis Rodríguez fled Venezuela with her children. She says the family has no other option but to remain in Tijuana.

The Trump administration has given no indication it plans to replace the Biden administration program.

Rodríguez is applying for a Mexican visa and looking for work after relatives in the U.S. who came in on humanitarian parole say they now fear being deported.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Good for them, though I'm not sure they will be housed in five-star hotels, get free food, or free healthcare, free cellphones, or free spending money which may be a blow to their egos. :whistle:

Not exactly. These are people who willingly left their homes in Venezuela or wherever, and traveled to those border cities, in the hopes of illegally entering the U.S.

Blatantly false headline...you can apply for an immigrant VISA at U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez (and other US consulates/embassies I think) (i.e. "the legal pathway"):
