Just months ago, buses from across Guatemala would arrive each day in this border town and deposit families with bags and backpacks planning to cross the border into Mexico on their way to the U.S. But these days, Gracias a Dios feels like a ghost town.
That fact has long made Gracias a Dios a notorious smuggling hub.No more. National guard units, accompanied by police and Mexican immigration agents, now staff checkpoints along the main highway to the city of Comitan, 35 miles north of the border.
In July, U.S. immigration authorities on the Southwest border apprehended or turned away 82,000 foreigners — down from a 13-year high of 144,000 in May.Public buses and vans making their way north from the Guatemalan border are methodically stopped and subjected to immigration inspections, as are all passing cars and trucks.
