 Hundreds of migrants blocked a highway in Chiapas demanding permits to transit freely through Mexico on November 8.early in the morning, a caravan of hundreds of people left from the town of Huxla, but upon arriving at the Cerro Gordo Customs inspection point, they decided to block the highway to demand that immigration authorities grant them permits for free transit through Mexico. The migrants laid down on the road in protest and shouted slogans demanding documentation that would allow them to reach the southern border of the United States. Some argue that Mexico has deported other migrants without permits or sent them back to the southern border. Many migrants are fleeing poverty and political instability in their homelands, hailing from Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and especially Honduras and Venezuela, according to a Reuters witness. This year, a record number of people have crossed the Darien Gap region, connecting Panama and Colombia. We all leave our homes, our families for the same reason because we are trying to find a better future. Because we are not going to stay in Mexico, we want to move forward, but if we do not have any permits, many have deported us, many have deported us to this patchula and it is not the idea. They do not want to help anyone, they do not want to help anyone. They do not give a solution to anything. They tell us, open two lanes, we are not going to open them because we know they are not going to give us permission.
