This article talks about the marches immigrants have been having from Venezuela, Cuba, and other Central American countries up through Mexico to try and make it to the United States border. However, these marches were put to a stop when Mexican authorities had these Easter weekend marchers picked up in buses and given a ride to about forty kilometers north, saying they would process some documents for them by Monday. There have been some immigrants that have been delayed in past years, a group that has been stalled in Tapachula before. There is much discontent growing within this group which is why Mexico has been trying to help these immigrants be regularized with these documents and help them have a quicker journey.

This article is important because it shows Mexico being cooperative with the immigrants that are trying to make it through their country. Some countries can be not so nice towards people coming in and out of their country but Mexico is being very understanding. There has been problems in the past of groups being stalled of their marches, but these new marches are being helped by Mexico which is a good change to see.

This article relates to what we talk about in class through the government because it is their choice whether to cooperate with these marching immigrants or to send them back to where they came from. The government has sent its authorities to help and regularize these marchers which is why this topic at hand relates to the government of Mexico.
