Can't help but feel that Pakistan is sticking out like a sore thumb in comparison to its neighbors. Pakistan's strength is its Youth and they are having to migrate

Surprised to see Chile receiving so many immigrants. Isn't Chile a third world country?

It has a mature IT sector that handles that of spanish speaking countries, I know many Indians working from Chile/ Uruguay also because it’s nearer to US hours, so many It companies have set shop there as well.
Most shocking is Nepal.
My friend who is a Nepal citizen here tells me that Nepal has tons of people from Bangladesh and Pakistan. The Muslim population there boomed in the last 2 decades.

Chile is not third world barely first world. If I had to guess I think a highly educated population. Argentina and Chile are like European countries stuck in Latin America

Argentina is a joke, the major country to go from Developed to developing.The inflation, currency issues are a joke.
Having said that, Argentinians have high intellect and also individuality which I haven’t seen in other Latin ones compared to them.

At least 39 people people have died in a fire at a migrant processing centre in Mexico that officials say started during a protest against deportations.
Many of the victims are thought to be Venezuelans trying to reach the US.
The fire at the centre in Ciudad Juárez broke out shortly before 22:00 local time (04:00 GMT).
The Mexican city, located across the Rio Grande river from El Paso, Texas, has seen an influx of people in recent weeks.
Many have been heading to the US border in expectation of an end to Title 42, a pandemic-era policy which gives the US government the power to quickly expel migrants trying to cross its border.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said migrants had set mattresses ablaze.
"It was related to a protest they started, we think, when they learned that they'd be deported," the president said, adding that the migrants had set alight mattresses.
"They didn't think that would cause this terrible tragedy," he added.
Photos from the scene show body bags lined up on the pavement outside.
Local media say the migrants inside the building where the blaze happened had been picked up by the authorities on Monday and taken to the centre. The facility is located near the Stanton-Lerdo Bridge, which links Mexico and the US.
Sixty-eight men from Central and South America were inside the centre run by Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) when the fire happened.
Title 42, which allows US border officials to deny individuals entry to the US "to prevent the spread of communicable disease" was first implemented at the start of the Covid pandemic.
The Biden Administration has announced its intention to end the use of the Trump-era policy but for now it remains in place.
Since the announcement, the number of migrants in Ciudad Juárez awaiting the possible lifting of the restrictions has swelled.
