The number of elderly immigrants in Kuwait has reached 70,000, and the government has taken a big decision.

It should be noted that two days ago, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior gave a deadline to the expatriates living in the country to register their children in Iqama.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior says that more than 8,000 foreign children are living in Kuwait without registration. The parents of these children did not register them after birth. According to the Kuwaiti law, these children have gone into the unknown.
Under the new plan issued by the Ministry of Interior regarding the registration of children, it will be mandatory to register the child in Iqama within 4 months from the birth, otherwise a fine of four dinars per day will be imposed.

The first caravan migrant from the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, who assumed power on October 1, left the country’s southern border this Saturday towards Mexico City, with undocumented immigrants demanding a new immigration policy after the massacre of six people from Egypt, Peru and El Salvador committed by the Army.
The mobilization, made up of hundreds of migrants, left this Saturday morning from the city of Tapachula, state of Chiapas, bound for the Mexican capital as its first destination and will seek to advance to the northern border, to reach the United States, without that they be accompanied by some civil society organization or activists.
The migrant caravan is the first after the first days of President Sheinbaum’s government, from whom the migrants ask for a “humane, sensitive border, free movement and greater security in the presence of organized crime.”
“The federal, state and municipal governments are going to provide support to this caravan with public security and civil protection agents, as well as paramedics, with the aim of ensuring that they have a peaceful exit from our municipality,” said the Secretary of Civil Protection. from Tapachula, Luis Demetrio Martínez, prior to the departure of the caravan from the Miguel Hidalgo central park.
This group of undocumented people from Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Central America, Haiti and African countries, prior to their departure, knelt down and prayed to ask for a safe path and that the Mexican authorities allow them to advance to their destination. .
More humane immigration policy
The migrant from Venezuela, Maryoris Blanco, who walks with her family, trusted that the president of Mexico has good job proposals, but a “more humane” immigration policy is required and that migrants be included because they seek free transit to reach their destinations. the northern border with the United States.
“Sometimes they really see us as invaders, but we are not invaders,” he told EFE.
While the migrant from Colombia, Rodrigo Álvarez, told EFE that many, like him, go with the intention of looking for families who are in the United States, and decided to leave Tapachula because they have spent enough time and are running out of money.
“We all unite to come with greater security, because in small groups we are all abused by the Mexican population, we ask President Sheinbaum to support us safely so that we are not abused by so much violence,” he noted.
The mass departure of migrants occurs four days after the Mexican Army revealed that last Tuesday, the day of Sheinbaum’s takeover, two soldiers killed six migrants of Egyptian, Salvadoran and Peruvian nationality after mistaking them for criminals while they were transporting in two vehicles in a section between Villa Comaltitlán and Huixtla, municipalities of Chiapas.
