Caravan Heads North In Mexico After Democrats Flip Congress
About 1,500 migrants, many families, are walking north from Tapachula as they hope Democrats' election win will ease U.S. immigration rules.
- On Tuesday, about 1,500 migrants departed Tapachula, Mexico, walking north toward Mexico City following Democratic victories in last week's U.S. midterm elections that raised hopes for more welcoming immigration policies.
- Spurred by Democrats winning control of Congress in the United States, the caravan formed as migrants felt optimistic that the political shift might eventually facilitate legal entry into the country.
- Cesar Sandoval, a 47-year-old Nicaraguan caravan participant, expressed hope, stating, "We believe the Democrats will help us... with God's help." The group, dubbed "God With Us," includes many victims of past violence.
- Researcher Ivan Porraz of Ecosur warned that policy changes remain unlikely while Trump remains in office. "As long as Trump remains president, the deportations will not stop," Porraz said.
- Migrants aim to reach Mexico City, more than 1,000 km away, to seek federal protection and asylum. The journey is likely to take several weeks through Mexico's hot southern terrain.
