ABOUT 2,000 undocumented migrants, exhausted, tired, and thirsty, are marching in the heat of Mapastepec, Chiapas State, Mexico, to cross into the United States.
Reports say these families come from several nations all across Latin America, including Venezuela, Guatemala, Honduras, and other parts of Central America and South America.
But there is one thing that they all have in common and that is the decision to travel in these large groups which have become, known as a migrant’s caravans.
They have been walking for a week just to get through the border— still, uncertainty awaits them there.
“This path represents the life that people have lost trying to reach a dream, an achievement, to get out of oppression,” Orlando Tovar, Venezuelan Migrant said.
“I think the best message is that we can have a little bit of love and compassion for human beings. Because we are all human beings, we are all brothers, living in the same world. And one way or another, we are all migrants,” said Breisi Ramos, Honduran Migrant Activist.
