TAPACHULA, Chiapas\u2014 In a rundown neighborhood near the Mexico-Guatemala border lies the B\u00e9len shelter, a house that assists what are mostly Central American migrants who are beginning their journey up through Mexico to the United States.<\/p>\n

The shelter is managed by Flor Maria Rigoni, a 71-year-old Italian priest who carries a big crucifix tucked into his waistband is if it were a gun. His long white beard, flowing robe and beatdown sandals draw stares wherever he goes.<\/p>\n

Those close to Rigoni consider the priest to be some sort of modern day saint\u2014a man who\u2019s devoted his life and faith to helping migrants. An old priest with the spirit of a young man, Rigoni is always making jokes, and appears constantly restless.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a force of energy. And his miracle is bringing laughter to a place filled with sorrow.<\/p>\n

Rigoni\u2019s shelter helps northbound migrants as well as minors who have been rescued from abusive homes and prostitution rings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to rebuild their self-esteem by giving them psychological assistance,\u201d says Nimbe Gonzalez, a B\u00e9len volunteer who helps the priest rehabilitate sexually exploited minors rescued from bars, nightclubs and brothels. \u201cThese girls have testified before the prosecutor\u2019s office and remain in danger. Many come with drug and alcohol abuse problems, so we have to start from zero by teaching them about the importance of personal hygiene, values, good manners. It\u2019s a very long process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nimbe herself is a survivor. At age 14 she was the victim of an express kidnapping in Mexico City and was raped by her captors. She eventually married and moved to Tapachula, where her eldest son died in an accident. Rigoni\u2019s counsel helped her get through that episode, and now she wants to give back to others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day I went to mass, I felt spoken to,\u201d she recalls. \u201cHe talked about many of the things I had within me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rigoni\u2019s sermons are indeed captivating. They\u2019re a blend of poetry, philosophy and current events. The soundtrack to his words is provided by the chirping and buzzing of insects in the surrounding Chiapas jungle.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s my spiritual guide, a friend of the family,\u201d Nimbe says of the priest. \u201cAs a boss, he\u2019s very intense, sometimes explosive; he never runs out of battery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his reputation for being indefatigable, Rigoni looks tired when I caught up with him on a recent trip to Tapachula. He can\u2019t hide his frustration with Pope Francis\u2019 agenda in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The pope is scheduled to visit Chiapas\u2019 picturesque city of San Cristobal de las Casas, but the pontiff will miss experiencing the grim reality of the immigration trail in nearby Tapachula. Many here\u00a0think the pope\u2019s visit would better be spent visiting Mexico\u2019s southern border, which has become a crossroads for weary emigrants from all over the world.<\/p>\n

From Central Americans and\u00a0Cubans<\/a>,\u00a0to\u00a0Africans<\/a>, Asians and emigrants from the Middle East, Mexico\u2019s border with Guatemala has become an oddly cosmopolitan place.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s role as a corridor separating Central Americans from the\u00a0Sue\u00f1o Americano\u00a0<\/em>is also evolving. Rigoni, who has spent 18 years in the trenches, claims Mexico has gone from being a bridge country to a destination in its own right.<\/p>\n

Tapachula-based immigration officials say they detained 84,269 emigrants in Chiapas alone last year. That represents a 65% increase from the previous year. At a national level, the number of detained Cubans has increased by more than 300% over the past two years, and there\u2019s also been a considerable uptick in the number of non-Central American detainees, who are catalogued simply as \u201cothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activists criticize the Mexican government as doing Uncle Sam\u2019s dirty work by \u201cpolicing\u201d the southern border for passing migrants.<\/p>\n

The dangerous journey north, which many claim has been made more treacherous since the Mexican government crack down of the infamous train known as\u00a0La Bestia,\u00a0<\/em>is discouraging many from crossing Mexico. And as the country\u2019s economy continues to outperform other nearby economies in Latin America, many Central Americans are now staying in southern Mexico to find work rather than risk crossing the U.S. border.<\/p>\n

Many remain in Mexico as undocumented laborers, while others apply for temporary work permits or humanitarian visas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a Syria at our gate,\u201d Rigoni says, describing the violence that\u2019s pushing Central Americans into Mexico. \u201cIt\u2019s an undeclared civil war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rigoni says immigration should be viewed as a \u201cpermanent human condition.\u201d But he understands the government\u2019s need to exert more control in its border, too. Not everybody entering Mexico is fleeing violence. Some are criminal elements, or \u201corganized crime exports,\u201d as Rigoni calls them.<\/p>\n

In places like Tapachula, Mexico\u2019s famous\u00a0narcocorridos (<\/em>songs glorifying the drug culture)\u00a0are increasingly being dedicated to Central American gangs such as the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13).<\/p>\n

Burnout and Hope<\/h2>\n

Father Rigoni is a political animal. He\u2019s become a masterful fundraiser for his shelter and can move seamlessly between the worlds of poverty and money. He can also be quiet, contemplative and experience what he describes as a \u201ccompassion hangover.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admits he can get tired, sometimes sickened by all the migrants and their tales of woe. \u201cThey all leave their stories with you,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it\u2019s easy to feel an emotional burnout after just a few days in the shelter; it\u2019s a place filled with tales of cruelty and brutality. But there\u2019s also tales of hope and awakening. Those are the moments that keep the priest going.<\/p>\n

A few years ago Rigoni says a man in a squeaky wheelchair approached him after his sermon.<\/p>\n

The man said he had fallen under La Bestia and got his legs severed by the train\u2019s wheels. He said he laid his head on the tracks to kill himself, but was saved by another passing migrant.<\/p>\n

Rigoni says the man in the wheelchair told him that at first he cursed the other migrant for pulling him off the tracks. \u201cI asked him why he didn\u2019t let me die. But today I come to tell you, that I may not have legs but I can still hug my wife, kiss my children and tell you that life continues. I now realize that I have more than my two legs,\u201d Rigoni said, reciting the man\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

Rigoni\u2019s voice cracks with emotion as he finishes telling the man\u2019s anecdote.<\/p>\n

These are the kind of people he lives to help. And he wishes that Mexico\u2014and the Vatican, too\u2014would do more to help those in need.<\/p>\n

He laments that his adoptive country is looking down on Central Americans the same way the U.S. looks down on Mexicans. Instead of treating southern emigrants with empathy, Rigoni says Mexico is becoming more discriminatory and arrogant, like it\u2019s neighbor to the north.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Mexicans are benefiting from cheaper labor provided by Central American migrants.<\/p>\n

According to immigration official Claudia Alvarez, most Mexicans living in Tapachula now have a Central American maid who gets paid around $80 a month, much less than what a Mexican maid would make in Mexico City. She says many of the undocumented Guatemalan maids are mistreated and threatened with deportation by abusive employers.<\/p>\n

The patterns of immigrant abuse in Tapachula are similar to those in some U.S. border states, Rigoni says.\u00a0\u201cPeople blame immigrants for crime, rape, vandalism,\u201d the priest explains.<\/p>\n

He says Mexico needs to change its immigration policies and attitudes, which are based on old thinking that migrants are just passing through. Mexico is now becoming a destination country for migrants, and it needs to act accordingly, he says.<\/p>\n

Rigoni says immigration cannot be stopped, regardless of how much security is deployed at the border. People find a way around. In Chiapas alone, there are nine formal border crossings, but authorities believe there are more than 300 \u201cblind spots\u201d where migrants cross undetected each day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe open veins of Latin America\u2019s migration are here, in Tapachula,\u201d the priest says.<\/p>\n

The pope, sadly, will miss all that when he visits Mexico.<\/p>\n

But Rigoni says Francis can still learn an important lesson from the Mexican people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to judge Mexicans as reluctant, but I have learned the Mexican people don\u2019t give a damn about the government they have,\u201d Rigoni says. \u201cThey know how to open their own paths. Mexico is one of those countries that solves its own problems, in spite of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the immigrants\u2019 way, he says. \u201cAnd migrants around the world will do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
