Migrant caravan moves through central Mexico, heading for U.S. border
- 5 years ago
Thousands of migrants from Central America are pressing on with their journey towards the U.S.
The caravan of around six-thousand-five-hundred migrants left the city of Queretaro on Sunday and appears to be heading towards the border between Tijuana and San Diego.
It is still around two-thousand kilometers away from Tijuana. The border with Texas is closer, but considered a more dangerous route.
The United States has recently deployed over five-thousand troops to the border to deal with the caravan.
The Mexican government has offered refugee, asylum, or work visas to the migrants, and two-thousand-six-hundred have taken up that offer, but still a lot vow to continue to the United States.
