The first caravan of migrants to the United States of America left Honduras on January 15. Several hundred Central American migrants, including minors, women and men, left the Great Central Metropolitan of San Pedro Sula, in Honduras, on Saturday, in search of a better life, according to local authorities and media.
The conquest of the American territory remains their main goal while the Biden administration is not kidding with the laws on illegal migration seeking to drastically reduce the surging wave of refugees.
A real obstacle course for this new cohort of migrants called to travel more than 2,500 kilometers of dangerous roads to reach the United States border.
The first stop for these disinherited people will be in the region known as “El Corinto”, located between Guatemala and Honduras.
In Guatemala, the authorities fear the presence of these guests mainly because of Covid-19, fearing for the health of citizens.
However, the Guatemalan Institute of Migration (IGM), has mobilized agents in order to take care of these people who must have a PCR or Antigen negative test.
The caravaneers will continue their journey to temporarily settle in the south and then in the north of Mexico in the hope of eventually reaching the United States.
Human rights activists continue to denounce this type of journey, which puts the lives of migrants in danger, indicating that human traffickers often take advantage of the situation to exploit them, making them transit in subhuman conditions, crammed like sardines in poorly ventilated trucks, reported the permanent correspondent of ZoomHaitiNews in Mexico.
