Migrant Caravan Leaves Southern Mexico Heading North; DHS Says It Will Not Be Admitted to US
Photo: Daily WireA new migrant caravan of several hundred people, mostly from Central America, left Tapachula in southern Mexico on Tuesday heading north. Mexican media estimates ranged from more than 400 to about 700. The Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday there was no chance the group would be admitted to the United States, and said the border has stayed closed for 16 months under President Donald Trump and Secretary Mullin. Participants are mostly Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans. The group left as "Without Borders" and renamed itself "Fe y Esperanza," after a September Honduran caravan that Mexican authorities dissolved near the Chiapas-Oaxaca border this month. Migrants cited economic hardship, scarce jobs and slow immigration processing. Some want refugee status in Mexico, and others hope to reach the U.S.
