MEXICO CITY — Mexico will offer escorted bus rides from southern Mexico to the U.S. border for non-Mexican migrants who have received a United States asylum appointment, the government announced Saturday.
The National Immigration Institute said the buses will leave from the southern cities of Villahermosa and Tapachula. It appeared to be an attempt to make applying for asylum appointments from southern Mexico more attractive to migrants who otherwise would push north to Mexico City or the border. The announcement came a week after the U.S. government expanded access to the CBP One application to southern Mexico . Access to the app, which allows asylum seekers to register and await an appointment, had previously been restricted to central and northern Mexico.
The Mexican government wants more migrants to wait in southern Mexico farther from the U.S. border. Migrants typically complain there is little work available in southern Mexico for a wait that can last months. Many carry debts for their trip and feel pressure to work. The migrants who avail themselves of the buses will also receive a 20-day transit permit allowing them legal passage across Mexico, the institute’s statement said.

Magnet? What magnet?
US asylum appointments ,LOL
We need a Leander McNelly type of guy in charge of the border. There have to still be Texans like him out there.
“Magnet? What magnet?
Are you talking about high speed rail technology to get them here faster?
I see you got the punch line too.
We need to punish Mexico with such severity that they will strongly reconsider, aiding, illegal immigration, as they have done over the last four years
I’m thinking for every Mexican national illegally in the country that commits a crime and injured somebody, making Mexican assets in the United States available for litigation in a lawsuit, I’m thinking sending illegals back over the border and if they refuse to take them take $10,000 off of what we give to them every year for every illegal they refuse, etc. etc. etc.. We need to punish them at level that they’ve never seen.
Bill Mexico for any medical care given to the invaders given that they provide instructions to get your care at any hospital emergency room.
MEXICO is NOT OUR FRIEND! 🤦🏼🤦🏼
Mehico is not our friend. And the Border Patrolers are not our defenders. They are America’s welcome wagon.
This is nothing you should see the thousands of Chinese military age men entering through our borders! Be ready for surprise attacks on our soil! They are colluding with the Middle East Russians and cartels invaders…WE HAVE LOST CONTROL! I want you all to think real real good why they hacked our Social Security info. Guess who’s gonna be voting in behalf of you and I and once they’re finished voting the terrorist attacks will fellow. Just saying …info from a border patrol agent!

Mexico doesn’t want these people wandering around their country. I wonder why?
