The U.S. Embassy in Mexico published a video on Wednesday, March 25, on its official X account, calling on the Mexican population not to migrate illegally to their northern neighbor. “Your Mexican power is in you!”. The embassy's communication is part of a series of campaigns disseminated on social media and other audiovisual media to deter people from attempting to enter the U.S. illegally amid the tightening of migration measures by President Donald Trump. The material shows a group of men singing a “tumbado corrido” that says the following: “The corrido sounds strong in your land. Living or migrating to the U.S. is a crime. Return to your roots. Return to your roots with #CBPHome. Living or migrating to the U.S. You don't have to go far to get ahead”. In turn, this week it was reported that hundreds of migrants from different Caribbean and Central American countries set out on foot early Wednesday from southern Mexico in the 'Genesis 2026' caravan, with the aim of reaching the northern states in search of regularization and better opportunities, after giving up the dream of reaching the United States. In Tapachula, Chiapas, migrants reported that they have been carrying out procedures before the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (Comar) for up to a year and a half, without receiving a favorable response.
