Since President Donald Trump took office back in January, the number of migrants seeking to cross the border and seek asylum has plummeted. But said migrants haven't disappeared or remain in their home countries. Instead, many of them are stuck in northern Mexico, looking for ways to continue their journey north and make a new life in the U.S.
Thousands of migrants are currently residing in Mexico's borders, stuck in a legal and economic limbo between Mexico and the U.S. In fact, at least 3,000 Venezuelans are stranded in Tapachula, a sweltering city near the southernmost point of Mexico that was once a gateway for migrants entering Guatemala, according to The New York Times.
