TAPACHULA, Mexico Nov 7 (Reuters) - A caravan of thousands of migrants traveling through Mexico with the hope of reaching the U.S. had shrunk to about half its original size on Thursday as many migrants grapple with their prospects following former U.S. President Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election.
Trump clinched the presidential election after a campaign that promised large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants and a return to fast-tracked deportations to Mexico.
An official from Mexico's National Migration Institute told Reuters the caravan had dwindled to less than 1,600 people, down from 3,000 when it set out from the southern city of Tapachula on Tuesday.
Just over 100 people asked for help from authorities to return to Tapachula, the official said. It was unclear where the rest of the migrants who left the caravan were headed.
After hearing that Trump had won, many of those in the caravan felt less hopeful about their chance at a new life in the United States.
"I had hoped (Kamala Harris) would win, but that didn't happen," said Valerie Andrade, a Venezuelan migrant traveling from Chiapas to Oaxaca in southern Mexico.

They can have a life in the US. Just come in the legal way, go through the naturalization process and become a legal citizen.
Winning!
They still have 2 months.
My analysis is the MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, which has been aiding and abetting this criminal invasion, has broken them up, FEARING a Trump retaliation.
Yes! Reminds of what happened when Reagan replaced Jimmah.
I believe WMAL had someone with heads up weeks ago when these humans were released. Maybe Vince C had the guy. Idk. Anyway, Harris and ole peaceful scranton Joe that wants to bite babies, smack me in the ass, and beat Donald’s behind in some imaginary AI simulation he is running his HIGH SCHOOL building? Are you ducking kidding me bro?
First of all ‘Al Reuters’ is DEEPLY SADDENED by the VICTORY of President Trump and ‘We The People!’
“It was unclear where the rest of the migrants who left the caravan were headed.”
Back to China, the ME and Venezuela is my guess...
What a flippin’ MESS! Let’s Go, Brandon! (We can’t use that too much longer!)
We need to ship all the ILLEGALS back to Mexico and let Sheinbaum worry about what to do with them.
Perhaps we’re finally learning the “root causes.”
No, they can't have a life in the USA.
They do not belong here.
Let them change and build their own countries
to serve their needs instead of crashing the border
and invading the USA, then insisting on rearranging
the "furniture" in America to their liking and forcing
Americans to pay for it.
Cease all immigration.
What are the chances he has called the Mexican President and has told them to close the border?
Thought we might have to wait until Trump is sworn in to begin reaping the rewards. Sweet!
Praise God!

I bet the phone call was a very cordial:
Stop the border crossers and the caravan or else…..
LOL!
pre-deported
What in the World of Weaponry is that? Real or just a fun idea?
Looks like a molten steel rod about to be shot over a crispy-dry meadow. I think I better stand over here.
