On Election Day, a fresh caravan of 3,000 migrants is making its way north to the United States in what Border Patrol authorities are calling a desperate attempt to cross the border.
The caravan was spotted leaving Tapachula, southern Mexico on Tuesday, 50 kilometres from the Guatemalan border. Images show countless men, women and children joining in the exhausting 2,000-mile trek to the United States.
The Post was informed by a US Border Patrol source that the agency was fully aware that a new wave of mass migration would be triggered by the US elections.
The House Committee on Homeland Security previously estimated that by the time Biden leaves office in January more than 10 million people have been arrested unlawfully crossing the border.
Many migrants worry that if Trump were elected president on January 20, he would completely shut down America’s asylum program which would encourage them to cross the border before then.
Trump has made illegal immigration as one of his main campaign boards, promising to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and prioritise the border if he is elected president again.
Honduran migrant Roy Murillo who was travelling with his pregnant wife and two kids said, “We want US authorities to see us, to see that we are people who want to work, not to harm anyone. Here, the cartels either kidnap you or kill you.”
A few weeks prior to this caravan’s journey another group of 2,000 migrants departed Tapachula for the United States.
Harris confirmed the need of protecting the border in the last weeks of her campaign giving migrants little hope for the future of the border if Trump lost.
Members of the most recent caravan expressed concern about the journey towards the north by taking comfort in the large numbers of people who offer protection from the criminal organisations in Mexico.
