Migrant caravan abandons plan to travel to US border

A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday.

"We will wrap up our work in Mexico City," said Irineo Mujica, the head of the migrant advocacy group People Without Borders (Pueblo sin Fronteras).

A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated US President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, their leaders said on Wednesday.

“We will wrap up our work in Mexico City,” said Irineo Mujica, the head of the migrant advocacy group People Without Borders (Pueblo sin Fronteras).

“We have support teams at the border if there are people who need assistance there, but they would have to travel on their own,” he said in the town of Matias Romero, in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.

The just over 1,000 migrants who currently make up the caravan – many travelling in families of up to 20 people – have been camped in the southern town since the weekend, deciding their next move in the face of daily attacks from Trump.

The Republican president vowed to send the US military to secure the border and threatened to scuttle the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) if Mexico did not stop the caravan.

The caravan is in fact an annual event whose goal is more to raise awareness about the plight of migrants than to reach the United States – though some participants have travelled to the border in the past.

Mujica said this year’s caravan was so large it would have been dangerous to travel to the border by train-hopping.

What would infuriate everybody would be if they found out this "Caravan" from the shitholes has been an annual event for years.
