Porfirio Muñoz criticizes the treatment of immigrants
Yesterday, during his visit to a migrant shelter in Tapachula , lawmaker Porfirio Muñoz Ledo said the government was a hypocrite in the way it handles migration and accused it of trying to hide the reality. His fellow party member and the head of the Migration Commission, Kristal Vences , has blamed the past administrations and corruption for the current situation. She was interrupted by a Honduran migrant who said smugglers still operate and that there’s corruption at the migration institute , and said both have asked for money and added that his migration process has taken 6 months, not 2 weeks. So despite the efforts to make it seem like the migratory station in Chiapas is fine, the reality came out.
