A 103-year-old migrant arrives in the United States seeking asylum

Andrea Avelina Andrade, a 103-year-old woman from El Salvador, has arrived at the border of Piedras Negras, Mexico, and Eagle Pass, Texas, seeking asylum, according to CNN.

The reason for his trip was, according to what he said, to follow his son and his two grandchildren, who had previously obtained US asylum.

Although she's not sure how long the process will take, she says “if they can do it, bless God, and if they can't, bless God.”

Widow and mother of four children, she arrived in early August at Casa Betania, a shelter in Piedras Negras, in the Mexican state of Coahulia, where she is now awaiting a response from the destination country.
