Guatemalan Migrant in Southern Mexico: ‘We’re Just Waiting for [Trump] to Go’ So We Can Enter the U.S.

‘After that, we’ll try again’

EXCERPT:

JIMENEZ (voice-over): “People like Cecilia Zouk. She came from Guatemala with her husband and two kids. She tried to get to the United States and even had an asylum application appointment scheduled through the Customs and Border Protection app. Days into the new Trump administration, she says her application was canceled.”
ZOUK (as subtitled): “It had been like 15 days since I did the application when it was removed.”
JIMENEZ (as subtitled): “And right now do you still want to go to the United States?”
ZOUK (as subtitled): “We're waiting for that president to go.”
JIMENEZ (as subtitled): “After that?”
ZOUK (as subtitled): “After that we'll try.”
JIMENEZ (as subtitled): “Not before.”
ZOUK (as subtitled): “Not before.”
