Migrants Flock to Mexican Refugee Station to Seek Safe Passage to US

Thousands of migrants crowded on Monday outside an office of the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance in the southern Mexican town of Tapachula to obtain a visa that allows them safe passage through Mexico to continue their journey to the United States to seek asylum. Thousands of people have reached the northern border in recent days and crossed into the United States, many after taking dangerous journeys on freight trains known as “The Beast.”
