No doubt you know many “normal” Hondurans - your wife’s family, her educated friends, people with families, etc...
They may all admit that Honduras is a screwed up country and may be quite pessimistic about the future - BUT, would any of them seriously consider just dropping everything to join a caravan across Mexico? Would they stuff themselves in shipping containers or pay gangsters to get smuggled to LA? I don’t know Hondurans, but I know many similar people in other countries. They would never consider doing such things to get into the USA.

Good point.
To answer your question, NO: people with means will not go the caravan route. They over-stay their visa. It's that simple. Caravan route is to risky and is more for the lower class. I didn't mention this but I have a niece that is here illegally as of next month. With her husband and two kids. She is a lawyer, he is an accountant.
Remember, there are no consequences.
