المملكة: A caravan of a thousand migrants heading from Mexico to the United States

A caravan of more than a thousand migrants left southern Mexico over the weekend, heading to the US border, despite US President Donald Trump deploying reinforcements to deport migrants and canceling all asylum applications.
Some of them say they are still “optimistic” that they will be able to enter the United States.
“We decided to go to the border and they would give us an answer,” said Anibal Jose Arvelo, a 37-year-old Venezuelan. “We still hope to enter the United States.”

Without work

As for Omar Avila, a 25-year-old Venezuelan, he was living in Tapachula, a city located on the border with Guatemala in the Mexican state of Chiapas, but decided to leave because “there is no work.”
He hopes to join his wife, who left before him for the United States with their two children, but she only arrived in Chicago with their son, after their daughter was swept away by the river in the forest on the border between Colombia and Panama.
As Trump announced during his election campaign, the United States this week began deporting hundreds of illegal immigrants on military planes, and the White House boasted that it had launched “the largest mass deportation operation in history.”
