“Humanitarian Corridor” Proposed for Child Migrants – An international coalition of organizations is calling on the United States, Mexico, and countries of Central America to establish a “humanitarian corridor” to protect child migrants and make family reunification possible. The campaign will end with a hearing of the Interamerican Court of Human Rights in Mexico City. Radio Bilingüe’s news director, Samuel Orozco, spoke about the campaign on our national show Línea Abierta, with Camilo Pérez Bustillo, professor at the Autonomous University of Mexico City, and member of the Mexico Chapter of the Permanent People’s Tribunal on Migration, Refuge and Forced Displacement. This is a segment of the conversation.
