Description
From Algeria, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan, citizens of distant, Muslim countries wait for US asylum at a shelter in the Mexican border city of Tijuana -- more used to seeing migrants from Latin America than the Middle East. At the Assabil Inn, Mexico's first shelter catering for US-bound Muslim migrants, the backstories of the guests are as varied as the assortment of languages they speak.
Around 1.39 million people from 177 countries traveled through Mexico so far this year trying to reach the United States without entry papers, according to the Mexican government. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
