Another caravan of Mexican migrants - but heading south of border for Christmas
JALPAN DE SERRA, Mexico - Poor Central American migrants who form caravans to fend off predatory gangs as they cross Mexico’s interior en route to the United States have made global headlines and drawn the ire of President Donald Trump.
Driving large cars laden with clothes, perfumes and other Christmas presents, the Mexicans, all with U.S. legal status, bore scant resemblance to the Central American migrants trudging north on foot, except for their shared fear of criminal gangs. But doing so by car poses a challenge as Mexico’s northern border regions have been racked by a tide of drug-fueled violence that led to a record 29,000 murders last year.
Trump has called migrant caravans bound for the United States “invasions” and has threatened to close the U.S. border with Mexico.
