New U.S. immigration rules send asylum requests soaring in Mexico

UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, provides meals and legal orientation at the CAFEMIN shelter in Mexico City. The shelter capacity of 100 people has been stretched above 500 in recent weeks with a growing number of migrants stuck in limbo in Mexico.

One of the new U.S. rules says you can't request asylum unless you've already been denied in another country. So Mexico is getting more asylum applications than ever.
