A recent report by Human Rights Watch has highlighted the challenges faced by Haitian and Venezuelan migrants in South American host countries, prompting many to seek asylum in the United States. The report calls on Latin American governments to enhance protection schemes, grant legal status, and ease visa requirements for these vulnerable populations.
The lack of integration and regularization policies in South America has led to a growing number of migrants heading to the U.S. border each month. Many asylum seekers undertake a perilous journey, including crossing the treacherous Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama.
