Federal police have found 65 severely dehydrated and starving migrants from Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka on a highway in the coastal state of Veracruz.
Mexico's Public Safety Department said on Thursday that the migrants endured a long and difficult journey in an attempt to reach the US border.
"It is very rare to find migrants of this type of nationalities, they are regularly Central American and even Cuban," said an INM source.
The migrants had flown from a Qatar airport on 24 April to Turkey and then to Colombia. They then moved through Ecuador, Panama and Guatemala before reaching Mexico.
Upon arrival in Mexico, they traveled by boat through the Coatzacoalcos River to the country's northern border. There is confusion as to why they opted to embark on the river as it does not lead anywhere close to the US border.

Hey...you’d be starving too if you had to walk from Asia to mexico.
We’re rapidly becoming Motel 6 for the whole Third World and the First for that matter. We need at least a two year moratorium on all immigration
