Vatican newspaper highlights plight of Haitian refugees in Mexico
April 20, 2023
With the headline “In the expectation of a tomorrow,” L’Osservatore Romano devoted the most prominent front-page coverage in its April 19 edition to the increasing number of Haitians who have fled the poverty and violence of their native land for Mexico.
Citing a Reuters article, the Vatican newspaper noted that over 50,000 Haitians are expected to seek asylum in Mexico in 2023 and that “many migrants are also beginning to contemplate a future in Mexico rather than in the United States because of a tightening of border controls.”
