Faced with the increase in irregular West African immigration to North America, the American authorities launched a solemn appeal on March 18, 2024. In a video statement, Kevin O’Reilly, head of mission of the Embassy of the United States in Nicaragua, clearly warned individuals of the dangers of illegal immigration, urging them not to put their lives in the hands of smuggling networks.
American diplomacy highlights the risks inherent in this hazardous and often fatal crossing. O’Reilly singles out Nicaragua for its permissive immigration policy, which serves as a springboard for West African travelers before their journey to the United States. The road, strewn with suffering and uncertainty, would cost at least 8,500 US dollars per person, according to experts.
The tendency to use Nicaragua as a gateway to the American continent is of great concern to the United States. This perilous route, which has become popular for three years, is strictly discouraged by the head of mission, who insists on the importance of preserving one’s life in the face of the illusory promises of traffickers.
