Shelters in Mexico Assisting Many Cuban Nationals After US Policy Change KRGV
go to original January 19, 2017

Respite centers in Mexico are assisting Cuban nationals left in limbo after the recent change in immigration policy. They want help from governments on both sides of the border.

Senda de Vida in Reynosa is a place that usually helps people from countries other than Mexico who were deported from the U.S. These days they're seeing a lot of Cubans.

The center opens its doors to people and offers basic humanitarian needs.

"What we do here is to bring support to all people who need a place to spend the night, eat, clothes, all that. And we need to understand, that if we don't do that, nobody is going to," Hector Silva said.

Silva runs the shelter that is located walking distance from the Rio Grande and the Hidalgo-Reynosa Bridge. He said the past few days he's seen a lot more Cubans coming through his shelter.
