AT RISK MIGRANTS

Some of the migrants that travel through ABBA are in no condition to continue. They require more medical support or physiological support than they can get within 72 hours. On a case-by-case basis, ABBA will allow individuals to stay for extended periods of time while they get their needs met. During this time period, these people will obtain a humanitarian visa which permits them to legally stay in Mexico for a short period of time. ABBA often offers longer refuge to pregnant mothers, mothers with infants, and victims of sexual abuse.
