NOGALES, Mexico (AP) - At a shelter overflowing with migrants airing their blistered feet, ... [aw geeze—overshare]
...The shelter’s manager, Francisco Loureiro, said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship.
This time, the draw is a bill before the U.S. Senate that could legalize some of the 11 million people now illegally in the United States while tightening border security. Migrants are hurrying to cross over in time to qualify for a possible guest-worker program…
But Loureiro, who has managed the shelter for 24 years, said the debate in the U.S. Congress has triggered a surge in migrants. In March, 2,000 migrants stayed at the shelter - 500 more than last year.
Many migrants said they were being encouraged to come now by relatives living in the United States.
...Many of the migrants also are being driven by a desire to get into the United States before the likelihood that legislators further fortify the border....
About 2,000 people a day pass through Sasabe, a hamlet of just a few dozen houses and a Western Union office west of Nogales, says Grupo Beta, a Mexican government-sponsored group that tries to discourage migrants from crossing the border and helps people stranded in the desert. ...
“Right now there are migrant hunters who are armed, and you should be careful,” Martinez told a group travelling in a rickety van missing some of its windows. ..."The guides and the robbers are all the same."
“So, Ted ...uhm, did you see this coming?"
“Shut up and aaaaaaah get in the car already.”
