Mexico has long been accused of turning a blind eye to Central American migrants traveling through the country en route to the United States. With the recent unaccompanied child migration crisis garnering major U.S. public and policymaker attention, the trains that have served as unofficial conduits for some of this migration have come under scrutiny, prompting the Mexican government to take action.

As many as half a million Central American immigrants annually hop aboard freight trains colloquially known as “La Bestia,” or the beast, on their journey to the United States.

The trains are operated by several private companies, including Companía de Ferrocarriles Chiapas-Mayab in the south, Ferrosur de Mexico in the center of the country, Kansas City Southern de Mexico in the east, and FerroMex in the north.

Hundreds of migrants in southern Mexico board ‘The Beast’ heading north

IXTEPEC, Mexico, April 26 (Reuters) - Hundreds of migrants hoping to reach the United States boarded a freight train in southern Mexico late on Thursday, frustrated by efforts to slow their progress by the Mexican government, which is under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

The risky move to board the train, known as “La Bestia” (The Beast), followed a mass breakout of migrants from a holding center in the southern border city of Tapachula on Thursday night. The government estimated some 1,300 people escaped but said a majority later returned to the center.

I am hopeful that Mexico Bears the cost of all this illegal immigration. Especially when the federal government starts obtaining real numbers for unlawful immigration. PDJT should threaten to deduct the costs from Mexico’s foreign aid payment. Mexico cannot afford to lose our aid. Perhaps they would agree to build a barrier from their side in exchange for not losing the foreign aid. Imagine the liberal heads exploding all across the country when Mexico actually does pay for the wall.
