Cold and insecurity characterize the upcoming Christmas celebrations of thousands of migrants who await their fate in Mexico at the border to the. Hundreds, wrapped up in jackets and blankets, gathered at the crossing near Juarez on Thursday in the hope of finding out whether they could apply for asylum in the United States. Many had hoped for easier access after the corona restrictions had expired. But the Supreme Court had decided after urgent applications to leave the so-called Title 42 deportation regulation in force for the time being. “We’re waiting, first they say so, half an hour later something else applies again. That’s the situation. We don’t know anything,” says this woman from Venezuela and thus from one of the countries to which the US authorities allow migrants under the applicable law to be deported quickly under the Covid regulation without the right to asylum being examined. This also applies to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Mexico. The US government under President Joe Biden has recently asked the Supreme Court to lift the restrictions, but not before Christmas. Chrismary Rodriguez fears the holiday season will make things even harder for her and her two children, who don’t have a place to sleep. In other northern Mexican cities like Matomoros, migrants fare no better. Hundreds will have to endure the current cold weather and the festive season in tents. Many of them have been waiting here for 2.5 months hoping for a change in US immigration rules.
