Inflation and increased migratory flow are causing the cost of housing migrants at Mexico’s southern border to triple, according to a calculation by the Tapachula branch of the National Chamber of Commerce for Services and Tourism (CANACO) and reported by the EFE Spanish language News Agency on Wednesday.
CANACO are local chambers of commerce in Mexico that are represented on a national level by the National Confederation of the Chambers of Commerce, which reports concerns to the Mexican federal government.
EFE reported that citizen groups are absorbing this expense in the face of the government’s inaction to confront the migration crisis taking place at the country’s border points for months.
