Just hours before President Donald Trump was sworn into office on Monday, a migrant caravan of more than 2,000 people set off from deep in southern Mexico with the aim of crossing into the U.S.
The caravan, consisting of men, women, and children from various countries, was seen marching through the southern Mexican city of Tapachula near the Guatemalan border in darkness early Monday. The migrants were carrying bags and rucksacks while migrant parents could be seen pushing children in strollers or carrying youngsters on their shoulders.
It's at least the tenth-largest caravan to walk out of Tapachula since the U.S. election, according to Border Report. It would take an adult migrant about 16 days of non-stop walking to get to the southern border.
The caravan is on the march despite Trump signing a flurry of executive orders on Monday clamping down on illegal immigration. He also declared a national border emergency.
In one order, Trump directed the federal government to resume construction of the border wall, which was largely dormant under the Biden administration. That order also ended Biden-era parole policies, including the use of the CBP One app to parole migrants into the U.S.
Erkin Torres, a migrant from Colombia who is part of the caravan, said he believes that Trump’s actions cannot supersede the United Nations, inferring what he believes is his right to apply for asylum.

Boy, is this one in for a rude awakening!!!
They didn’t get the memo that Trump said you ain’t welcome.
“Starting” ain’t “finishing”.
My garage can attest to that fact of life.
put US troops on border with orders to shoot any attempted invasion and watch those morons spin around.
Blazing Saddles-slow them down with a toll booth.
I hope Mexico puts them up in five star hotels and gives them money. That’s what they are expecting.
“””The caravan, consisting of men, women, and children from various countries, was seen marching through the southern Mexican city”””
Yeah right!!! Just after the caravan got off a Biden NGO bus to walk for the Leftist Media photo op and then reboard the bus a couple hundred feet down the road.
“Somebody’s gonna have to go back and get a s-load of dimes!”
Mexico and its cartel shadow government are also in for a rude awakening.
Trump means business.
O.K. smarty pants wise guy, you're in for a geopolitical lesson.
Sounds like a Wile E Coyote running into a brick wall thing.
May they be met with M16s and claymore mines.
strafing run
“they have rights”, technically they don’t.
Building the border wall was “largely” dormant “under Biden”?
An A-10 should take care of that.
Trump and Tom Homan have already rolled out the Welcome Wagon.
This is the UN strategy. They want the optics of Trump‘s military beating up the illegal aliens making their way through our wall. I guarantee you they’re praying for optics real hard. They can’t have Trump undermining the UN, the WHO and the globalist Davos! Mark my words they’re gonna rush the border and you’re gonna see all hell break loose. That’s the game plan. Don’t think for one minute the globalist are finished destroying America. We are the obstacle and if anything November 5 proved that to them. How do I know they’ll rush the border they’ve done it many many times. They done it to the point that the border patrol agents cannot stop them nor the police that are guarding the border bridge itself. Thousands have come in through the bridge when they rush in and cannot be held back. Let’s see what happens.
And what are those troops authorized to do? What specifically is their mission? What are their orders? What are their rules of engagement?
