Migrants arriving in New York City, expecting to be welcomed with food and shelter, are hitting a wall of reality. Realizing that the help is not the same as before, their next stop is New Jersey.
From the Immigration and American Citizenship Organization (IACO), which assists immigrants in citizenship processes and other resources, the executive director, Gustavo Ramírez, points out that the problem is at the border.
“There is no standard in the way immigration is granting entry to people from the border. They have many discretions and all cases arrive differently,” analyzes the expert.
Mariela Salgado, our Univision 41 reporter, confirmed that in the new wave of migrants, the majority travel with children.
At IACO they specify that 80% of the cases they are dealing with “are already headed for an immigration process.”
