And more on the migration crisis.
00:02
Mass deportations from the United States are a reality in El Salvador, however, the government
00:07
has not revealed any plan to deal with an eventual mass return of migrants.
00:12
From San Salvador, our correspondent Roberto Hugo-Presa with the details.
00:20
As every week, planes from the United States arrive at Monsenor Romero Airport full of
00:25
deportees.
00:26
There are officially no figures, but it is certain that deportations will increase in
00:30
the coming weeks without any state plan for returnees being known.
00:36
El Salvador has 210,000 deportation orders for Salvadoran citizens who are living in
00:41
the United States with or without residency.
00:47
We also have a considerable number of Salvadorans who are requesting asylum and have an appointment
00:51
in court and when they get to court they are going to be told no.
01:00
This implies that the profile of deportees coming in the coming weeks is different from
01:04
the traditional ones, warn migration experts.
01:10
They may be older people with chronic illnesses, people who have lived 30, 40 years in the
01:15
United States, who have never settled their situation and who are already accustomed to
01:19
a reality different from that of El Salvador.
01:22
Therefore, the impact which they are going to have on this reintegration process is extremely
01:26
complicated.
01:33
In the face of this bleak outlook, organizations working on behalf of returnees are doing their
01:38
part.
01:39
The Integration Center for Migrant Workers, for example, runs support programs that include
01:43
psychological help, training, community organization and seed capital for entrepreneurship.
01:51
And many families that we have supported have improved their basic basket of goods, their
01:56
access to basic services.
01:57
So, we see that they even have the possibility of some, so to speak, some leisure activities.
02:03
So, this has improved at different levels, not only at an economic level, but also at
02:07
a psychosocial level for families and communities.
02:16
Iris is one of the beneficiaries and says she would not attempt to risk her life and
02:20
the lives of her children once again on the so-called death route.
02:27
Because what we went through was not easy and, as I said, I almost lost my son's life
02:32
and if we had a second chance, I don't think I would waste it like that, with ups and downs,
02:36
but as I said, I have my business, I am with my children and I know we can get ahead here.
02:47
Although no mass deportations have been officially registered so far, U.S. immigration authorities
02:52
have reported dozens of arrests of Salvadorans who will sooner or later be repatriated.
