Mexico's migrant caravan breaking up after Trump victory sows uncertainty
Story by Daniel Becerril and Lizbeth Diaz • 12h


TAPACHULA, Mexico (Reuters) - A caravan of thousands of migrants traveling through Mexico with the hope of reaching the U.S. had shrunk to about half its original size on Thursday as many migrants grapple with their prospects following former U.S. President Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election.
 

Migrants in a caravan push a cart with their belongings covered with plastic sheeting to protect them from the rain as they rest before continuing on their way to the U.S. border, in Escuintla, Mexico November 7, 2024. 
Trump clinched the presidential election after a campaign that promised large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants and a return to fast-tracked deportations to Mexico.

An official from Mexico's National Migration Institute told Reuters the caravan had dwindled to less than 1,600 people, down from 3,000 when it set out from the southern city of Tapachula on Tuesday.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I doubt the people in the caravan broke up.  It's more likely whoever has been financing these caravans decided it was a waste of money at this time and told them to go home. :pondering:
