YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The biggest flow of immigrants in the world is from South America to the United States. In 2015 alone, more than 22 million made this trip. It’s an extremely dangerous journey on roads in terrible conditions, that pass through some incredibly violent areas.

This situation was the perfect excuse for the Mexican Government to pass the so-called “Population Law” in the mid seventies. This law was partly meant to regulate the influx of migrants to the country in order to avoid human trafficking and abuse. So what was the problem? Well, what appeared at first to be something good for foreigners quickly became hell for them...

Today in VisualPolitik we talk about Mexico and its strict immigration policies.
