Ukrainian refugees at camp in Mexico City await US action
MEXICO CITY (AP) — On a dusty field on the east side of Mexico’s sprawling capital, some 500 Ukrainian refugees are waiting in large tents under a searing sun for the United States government to tell them they can come.
The camp has only been open a week and 50 to 100 people are arriving every day.
Some have already been to the U.S. border in Tijuana where they were told they would no longer be admitted.
Others arrived at airports in Mexico City or Cancun, anywhere they could find a ticket from Europe. Advocates are urging the U.S. government to process their cases quickly.
