Necocli, Colombia, Sep 29 (EFE).- Stuck for a month waiting on the Colombian-Panama border spending the money they still have to get to the United States or turning around and returning to where they started, to countries where their future is not assured. That is the decision facing Haitian migrants in Necocli, Colombia."Here things are very difficult. Nobody is helping us," they say."The Colombians are asking for a lot of money from us," and "They're making money off of us" are other comments from the migrants.

Migrants in Mexico's Matamoros cross the Rio Grande in an attempt to enter the United States a day before the end of so-called Title 42, a set of pandemic-era restrictions that have forbidden virtually all asylum claims there in the last years. IMAGES
Men, women and children walk on the US side of the US-Mexico border after crossing the Rio Grande river that divides the two countries, before surrendering and being processed by US Customs and Border Protection agents. The US is readying its response to an expected surge of migrants seeking to enter as tens of thousands of people are waiting at crossing points for the end of pandemic-era rules that had forbidden virtually all asylum claims at the border. The so-called Title 42 expires overnight Thursday into Friday. IMAGES
