A few hundred Hondurans formed a caravan bound for the United States on Wednesday after hurricanes battered the country, posing a fresh challenge to efforts to stem illegal immigration from Central America on the cusp of a new U.S. administration.

Mostly younger migrants with backpacks and some women carrying children left the northern city of San Pedro Sula on foot for the Guatemalan border after calls went out on social media to organize a caravan to the United States.

Striking just two weeks apart in November, Hurricanes Eta and Iota hammered infrastructure, homes and crops, killing about 100 people in Honduras. The neighboring countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua also suffered widespread damage. The man said he was from La Lima, a municipality on the southeastern edge of San Pedro Sula that was hard hit by flooding caused by Eta and Iota.

Why aren't they wearing their masks correctly?

I trust the people in that caravan more than I trust the 74 million trash Americans that voted for Donald Trump last month, and the trash Americans that are fruitlessly trying to overturn the election results.

Right on cue. Conservative media drum beat fabrications to distract us from the real story, republicans subverting democracy.

Mais uma confusão em marcha...

Trump plan this one too? There always seems to be a migrant caravan when he is needing more fear mongering for his base that scream for a border wall. Personally, not a border wall fan, family separation causes trauma, immigrants make us better & we need true immigration reform.

Not here! AMERICA has debts 2 pay 2 the AFRICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVERY. AMERICA needs 2 ERADICATE HOMELESSNESS before any other foreigners R allowed in 2 AMERICA. 75% of the foreigners that came 2 the USA for employment need 2 be sent back their home countries now.

Is Trump running again? WTF is this bullshit?

There’s a pandemic going on. You should stay where you are & not risk getting sick

Here we go again, media trying to distract from what's really happening

Poor people. Its a bad time right now. But desperation does crazy things to a person

And if there are no new tensions the frigging media will make damn sure there are.

Rebuff them at the border. Let Mexico take them in.

Hahahaha turn around! Hmmm or, whomever is funding this? can take care of you elsewhere, along the way.

And even though we have a widespread pandemic they still see us as the best country in the world. they might be starting from Honduras now but we really know they're coming from Venezuela and other countries that have collapsed because of communism.

As long as the US continues to support the Honduran government caravans like this will carry on. These people are literally running for their lives, even a few days before Christmas.

For f*ck’s sake, stop it. Just...stop.

Trump needed the caravans to build the wall. Now trump needs the caravans to scare Americans. Why every time trump is in trouble , the caravans come back to USA?

Hello, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design.

stop, just stop.

In Central America, tensions rise as soldiers aim to stop migrantsGuatemalan and Honduran soldiers will be deployed to prevent new U.S.-bound migrant caravans from advancing, military officials said, amid growing desperation among those seeking to cross and signs that some groups will depart later this month. The americans are conducting lipposuction operations behind their border. There’s nothing such a chance. If one does exist, it’s more probably a sinning. I think the US sent good money to Guatemala and Honduras :) Don’t worry they eventually will encounter the beautiful Trump Wall 😂🤣🤪

Then go get your vaccine. The same morons who refused to wear masks and socially distance...
