JUCHITAN, Mexico — The buses they were waiting for had never arrived, so now the migrant caravan was moving again — a sea of weary men, women and children, borne forward in waves by nothing more than their blistered, bleeding and bandaged feet.
As the migrants streamed past her in the pre-dawn darkness, Roxana Orellana stood on a concrete curb, rubbing the small belly that showed through her sleeveless green shirt.
The 21-year-old was five months pregnant. Her back ached and her feet throbbed from three weeks on the road. She had hoped she wouldn’t have to push her toddler’s stroller today as the sun rose and the temperature soared and her family’s water ran out.
But now that hope was gone.
“There are no buses,” she said. “So it looks like we’ll have to keep walking.”
On the 20th day of the caravan’s journey north from Central America, signs of its physical toll were everywhere — in the bright white bandages that stand out against dust-caked clothes, in the chorus of coughs that fill their camps at night, in their limping gaits and bloodshot eyes as they set out each morning

NEWS FLASH to the virtue signaling pretending to care FAKE NEWS/CABLE FABLES —
If you really had sympathy and cared for these people you would be pulling out all the stops to discourage these people from starting on this trek, turning around and going home, and making sure that they know how to seek entrance legally, which means going to the US Embassy in their own country and getting in line.
The trips are dangerous and gangs are all too willing to attack, kidnap etc. It is kinder to them to STOP the hordes than to encourage them.
They should go home.
Where’s my tiny little fiddle to play for them.
Most of the Hondurans who have migrated to the United States in the past 15 years were motivated by economics not the threat of gang violence. They have been raised ‘to believe’ that migrating to the US is the only path to secure their expectations for material wealth.......constant communication with relatives here in the US via cell phones and social media, migration is basically part of their life....it is ‘always economics’ that drive all third worlders here.
Keeping in more than 50,000 Hondurans were apprehended attempting to cross our border in 2012!!..... Undocumented immigration has become almost a rite of passage for Hondurans.
