The latest caravan of Honduran migrants hoping to reach the US has crossed peacefully into Guatemala, under the watchful eyes of about 200 Guatemalan police and soldiers.
About 2000 people, including dozens of children, lined up to show their documents to a first line of unarmed security personnel at the Agua Caliente border crossing Tuesday night. Riot police formed a second line to contain any possible disturbance. The majority of the media is reporting that they are only 500 thanks to FOX News for telling the truth, their number is of at least 2,000 and it will grow up even bigger as it passes through Guatemala and Mexico.
Hundreds of Hondurans left the violent city of San Pedro Sula this week in a new caravan hoping to reach the United States or Mexico.
Guatemalan police officers assisted an exhausted Honduran migrant who who fainted while she waited to enter Guatemala at the crossing.
Edilberto Hernandez, a former police officer, stood with his wife and four children to cross into Guatemala. After losing his job, he could find only low-paid construction work, and he decided to travel with his whole family to the United States.
‘We are going out of necessity, because of the poverty,’ Hernandez said.
The fate that awaits them at the Mexico-U.S. border is uncertain. The previous caravans that were seized upon last year by U.S. President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2018 midterm election have quietly dwindled, with many having gone home to Central America or put down roots in Mexico.
Despite the hard-line immigration rhetoric by the Trump administration, many others – nearly half, according to US Border Patrol arrest records – have sought to enter the U.S. illegally.
US President Trump has already taken it to Twitter to express his frustration with the Democrats for not allowing the wall to be built.
