The Honduran community in McAllen and southern Texas
The Rio Grande Valley is one of the historic gateways into the United States, and that shapes the character of the McAllen consulate. Here, more than at any other office, consular protection and migrant assistance take center stage: support during difficult times, guidance on rights and coordination with humanitarian organizations in the Valley.
Alongside that work, the Honduran community settled in McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr and other Valley cities turns to the consulate for its documentation procedures. The consulate thus operates on two levels: that of the Honduran who lives and works in southern Texas, and that of the person arriving in search of help in more vulnerable circumstances.
