Hundreds of mainly Honduran migrants started walking and hitching rides Wednesday from the city of San Pedro Sula, in a bid to form the kind of migrant caravan that reached the U.S. border in 2018.
Some migrants waved Honduran flags and shouted slogans against President Juan Orlando Hernández as they set out for the Guatemalan border. Some reached the Guatemalan border by early afternoon.
Most attempts at forming caravans in 2019 were broken up by police and the national guard in Mexico, which has come under increased U.S. pressure to prevent migrants from arriving at the U.S. border.
In his first full day in office, Guatemala’s new President, Alejandro Giammattei, said the Hondurans would be allowed to enter Guatemala, which they must cross to reach Mexico and the United States.
Giammattei said that travel agreements between Central American nations required Guatemala to grant the migrants passage. But Guatemalan police appeared to be detaining migrants at the Corinto crossing, apparently to demand they show identification.
“We cannot prevent people who have identification” from entering, Giammattei said. “We are going to ask for their papers from the parents of guardians in the caravan, and if they don’t have them they will be returned to Honduras. We have to protect the rights of children.”

I’m sure it’s a coincidence during impeachment. /s
Yep, we could start a fundraiser to pay for it even.
Shoot the tires from the buses if that’s how they travel. Then, if they keep going, snipe the leaders/organizers in the cabeza. Pay some of our guys or the local police to do the deed.
tax all remittances, watch em flee....
Has strafing gone out of style?
Drive to the Virginia capital...you will be safe there except from terrorists.
I’m entertained by this. I am trying to figure out how I can move to Honduras permanently at the same time as Hondurans are trying to figure out how to move here.
Well, when they get here, if they get past the border illegally, then hose them down with napalm.
