Again, this begs the question - if these people are fleeing gang violence, or political violence, or any other kind of instability, why are they traveling nearly a thousand miles through Mexico, the northernmost parts of which are also pretty dangerous gang-controlled territories, when you could travel a hundred miles and seek refuge in Belize? Or Costa Rica? Or Panama? Even central and southern Mexico are pretty stable regions.

Mexico even offered asylum and work visas, which the refugees rejected. To me that is somewhat insane.
