Report: Thousands of migrants heading to southern US border

Thousands of migrants from Central America and Cuba are forming a caravan that is headed to the southern U.S. border after two hurricanes wreaked havoc on large portions of Central America last month.

Announcements for migrant caravans have been circulating on social media, according to the Miami Herald. Thousands of Cuban migrants, including pregnant women and children, are hoping to join groups of migrants traveling from Guyana, Paraguay and Chile.

Bloomberg reported that one group of migrants leaving San Pedro Sula, the second-largest city in Honduras, is scheduled to leave in the next few days with a second leaving in January.

Jose Luis Gonzalez, coordinator of the Guatemala Red Jesuita con Migrantes, said President-elect Joe Biden’s immigration policy changes and the transition to a new administration encourage impoverished Central Americans to risk the long journey to the U.S. Biden has vowed to reverse a number of President Donald Trump’s migration policies, including illegal immigration deterrents like prolonged detention and family separation.

“When there is a change in government in the U.S. or Mexico, caravans start to move because they are testing the waters to see how authorities respond,” said Jose Luis Gonzalez, coordinator of the Guatemala Red Jesuita con Migrantes, a non-governmental organization. “What they see is that the one who said he was going to build a wall and hated Latinos is on his way out.”
