Caravan decides: It’s California or bustHot Air, Nov 10, 2018, Jazz Shaw
The main Honduran migrant caravan, still estimated to be roughly 4,000 strong, has been camped out in a sports stadium in Mexico City for the better part of a week now. That’s coming to an end this morning, however, as their patience has apparently been exhausted. Caravan leaders have gotten everyone together to decide their next move and, perhaps predictably, they’re heading north again. But rather than taking the shorter route toward Texas, they are opting for the longer and more dangerous route to the northwest, heading for Tijuana and presumably the Cruce Peatonal Hacia México border crossing near San Diego.

You can read a lot into this decision, depending on which version of the current spin you choose to believe. Currently, the migrants are roughly 600 miles from the closest border crossing at McAllen, Texas. That’s still a long march on foot, but if they can average 20 miles a day (no easy feat) they could arrive in approximately a month. But by choosing to try for Tijuana, they now have a 1,740-mile march ahead of them. Even under ideal conditions that would take almost three months unless they can find some sort of mass transportation option.
