From left to right: Wilkens Velcine, Jean Jeffson, Jean Chrismond Derilus, and Jean Duperval Aristide. Derilus, Jeffson, and Aristide, all from Haiti, decided to stay in Tapachula, Mexico, instead of continuing on to the US. They say that changing US immigration policies deterred them, including the Obama administration's decision to end a policy that granted them asylum. Aristide and Derilus now plan to open a furniture workshop in Tapachula, and Jeffson wants to use his skills as a mechanic.
