Haitian trip to Texas border often starts in South America

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : So far this year, 19,000 have requested asylum in Mexico, a figure second only to Hondurans.
48% : If jobs dry up, slowly move through Central America and Mexico by bus and on foot to wait -- perhaps years -- in northern border cities like Tijuana for the right time to enter the United States and claim asylum.
47% : From Panama, the migrants usually make their way through Central America aboard a series of buses, offloading to cross Nicaragua stealthily because it does not allow their transit before they reach Guatemala's border with Mexico, where some apply for asylum in the Mexican city of Tapachula and live in encampments.
