Tragedy and Survival: Venezuelan Migrants in Mexico's Deadly Fire

TL;DR Summary
Venezuelans stranded in Mexico while waiting for asylum appointments in the US are facing poor living conditions and xenophobia from authorities. The recent fatal fire at a migrant detention center in Ciudad Juárez has only added to their misery. Many are forced to sleep on the streets or pay daily fees to stay in overcrowded shelters. The Biden administration has offered a legal path to the US for some Venezuelan asylum seekers, but only those arriving by plane and fulfilling other stringent conditions. Migrants are calling on the Mexican and US governments to provide a resolution to their situation.
