TUCSON, Ariz. — Migrants staying in taxpayer-funded hotels are usually only in Tucson for a day or two before moving on elsewhere in the country.Their journey continues at a local bus stop outside of one of the city’s migrant hotels.
Migrants gather with their travel documents in hand, and flight itineraries mapped out for them on papers provided by Casa Alitas. Even as the come from all over the world, they all have similar stories about the issues in their countries. “Right now in Guatemala, it is very difficult," one migrant said."There was a lot of corruption. A lot of corruption in the government.”They hail local cabs or sometimes even call ride shares.“I left Mexico because there was a lot of violence. It was very difficult. And also there was no work," a Mexican migrant said.
The bus stop will likely stay busy as the Tucson Sector leads all nine border sectors in total apprehensions.
