HUIXTLA , Oct 27 — Hundreds of migrants from Central America and the Caribbean trekked across Mexico today, the latest in a series of caravans that have sought to reach the US border in recent months.
The majority of the latest caravan members were families with young children, according to a Reuters witness, who estimated that about 2,000 migrants were gathered on Tuesday in Huixtla in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas to rest and receive medical attention before resuming their journey north.
“My feet are burning and in pain from the blisters,” said Chavez. “I’ll make it as far as God permits.” Some members of the most recent caravan aim to reach Mexico City, where they hope the asylum process might be faster, while others aim to press on to the US border.Last week, Mexico’s conference of Catholic bishops, which operates about a hundred shelters across Mexico, urged the country’s authorities to end militarized immigration enforcement efforts that, the group said, has caused an increase in human rights violations against transiting migrants.
