I read your post with interest, particularly the mention here:
"Unfortunately, some migrants continue to repeat that they are fleeing poverty, which, as we have explained here, is not a reason to access this migratory benefit."
I notice in the photo that a woman appears to be wearing a partially if not new pair of tennis shoes. The first part of your post explains all the changes attempting to be made. If the economic situation is not as the migrants state, then why leave the country when others choose to stay?
Thanks for sharing this information. Take care.

Hello, a pleasure to receive your comment. Look, you have to go to the life stories of migrants. The general profile is that they come out of contexts of great poverty and violence. At least for the Central American migrant, the situation is very precarious, although this does not mean that there are no cases that simply want to live better than they do in their countries, where they are not so far behind in the reproduction of material life. This is the case of the Cubans. The Cuban migrant who goes in these caravans does not have the same reasons to migrate as the Central American, because in general, he tends to represent a kind of middle class here in Cuba. The point then that I highlighted in the part you quote is that asylum does not apply only because you are poor or because you want to live better, or even because in your country there is a lot of violence, but it is granted to those who have lived concrete situations, materialized individually, of persecution for political reasons, race, among others. Thank you again for your feedback.
Thanks for your explanation. You know, unless you are rich, every person wants to live better financially. That doesn't mean you jump up and leave your country just for that reason. I can understand other more extreme reasons if you have to flee your country.
There are millions of unemployed and homeless people in the U.S. Why South Americans think that the U.S. is this awesome land of wealth and opportunity needs a bit rethinking. Unless you live in a poverty stricken neighborhood, it takes between 800 - 1,000 USD to rent an apartment. Food prices have increased. Fuel is not cheap, together with vehicle purchases.
Thanks for sharing. Take care.
I try to explain that point to my students and colleagues, who in some cases don't believe in poverty or hunger stats in the United States. I fully agree with you. Thanks for your sound feedback on this critical issue.
Last question. Why don't they believe it? Who is telling them otherwise?
I say that there is a significant setback in the ability of people to have critical thinking and to understand the world around them without losing dimensions. Here in Cuba, for example, people are increasingly susceptible to certain influencers on YouTube based in Florida, who offer an idyllic vision of life in the United States. Where there are no poor, no one goes hungry, and so unfortunately they have an impact on the worldview that people embrace.
I see. Thanks so much. It's a sad state of affairs to mislead people. Have a good weekend.
The same wish for you. Best regards from the Island.
