We can't seem to discover the original impetus for this caravan, although I have my suspicions.
Here is an odd quote from the Fox article;
""Of the friends that I have been with, all want to go back," Hasiel Isamar Hernandez, a 28-year-old mother of three from Honduras, told the news agency.
Hernandez added she decided to drop out of the caravan after hearing from her husband her 3-year-old daughter back home had stopped eating because she missed her mother. She was one of a group of migrants Monday who gathered at a checkpoint near Tapanatepec to ask for help returning home to Honduras. Many fled that country weeks ago to join the caravan in a bid to escape Honduras’ pervasive poverty and violence."
What induced this woman to leave a 3 year old and a husband to join this caravan? It just seems odd.
