Asylum Seekers Fill Tent Camps As Part Of U.S. “Remain In Mexico” Policy

MATAMOROS, MEXICO - DECEMBER 08: A child from El Salvador receives a donated doll following class at "The Sidewalk School" held at a "Remain in Mexico" camp for asylum seekers on December 08, 2019 in the Mexican border town of Matamoros, Mexico. The children's parents had filled-out Christmas wish lists for their children the week before. The weekly class, where U.S. volunteers teach basic English, math and geography is run by the "Team Brownsville" humanitarian assistance organization for immigrants seeking political asylum in the United States. The camp, located across the international bridge from Brownsville, Texas houses more than 1,000 Central American and Mexican immigrants, now required by the U.S. government to wait in Mexico during the legal asylum process.
