Entering the U.S via Mexico Route is Now Known by U.S officials - Find another Route Dear Immigrants

While Mexicans have entered into the U.S for decades just by simply crossing the border, not until recently has people from third world countries have used this unattended route. However, the U.S government now knows the Mexico route is been used not only by the Mexican natives, but that refugees coming from remote countries as far as East Africa are utilizing the vast border between Mexico and the South of U.S.A.

Estimates of costs endured by the refugees entering into the United States via Mexico can be around $5000.

One refugee, Abdihakim Warsame of Somalia recently discussed with Somchat.tk on his way to the U.S. said "I knew about this route for years and now I’m hearing court rulings and media coverage about Somalis entering in the U.S. via Mexico"

Warsame arrived in Mexico via Brazil where he paid $2500 for his trip from India after obtaining a Tourist visa to Brazil illegally.

"My friends did enter to the U.S after obtaining – and get this irony -a 'Must Leave Country' order notification certificate from Mexican authorities which they later used to show to the U.S. Immigration that they cannot stay in Mexico," explained Mr. Warsame.

There are thousands of illegal immigrants entering in the U.S via the Mexico border every year. But due to U.S. and International immigration laws, most of the immigration claiming refugees cannot be sent back cannot be sent back to the other side of the border again!

For Somali refugees, the letter obtained by the Mexican Immigration authority plus the fact that Somalia is no place to send back immigrants (refugees) is basically what allows them to apply for refugee status in the United States once they cross border.

Other facts

Fees:

Flight + Visa + First ‘Router’ Contact to South American Country is $2500+

Long distance across countries trip by bus from landing in South America to Mexico $1100+ (This includes walking of about one week by foot)

Crossing the U.S. Border – not sure about this one but must cost some fees to those helping you cross! I wouldn’t put it any less than $1000

Getting caught by the U.S Border agents – Priceless because you refugees get investigated then sent to jail for a few months before their file is passed over to the Immigration department for further processing.
