More than a thousand migrants have left southern Mexico in a convoy on their way to the border with the United States, despite statements from U.S. President Donald Trump about deportation and their return. The caravan set out from the town of Tapachula...
Despite Trump's threats, the migrants continue their long journey, protecting themselves from the sun and dust, facing ongoing dangers. They hope for a better life in the north, where, in their opinion, there are more opportunities for work and improving their situation. One caravan participant said, 'We don’t want to get rich, we just want a normal life.'
Many of them left their homes in Central American countries due to poverty, crime, and lack of prospects for future generations. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated their living conditions, stripping them of the possibility of earning a livelihood. Some migrants travel with their families, including young children, who endure long hours of walking and discomfort on the road.
Foreign unions and human rights groups criticize the Trump administration's approach to the migration crisis, calling it harsh and inhumane. Nonetheless, President Trump insists that border security measures are necessary to protect the border and the safety of American citizens.
