Thousands of Migrants March from southern Mexico to US Border Despite Trump's Warnings

More than 2,000 migrants from various countries began walking early Monday in southern Mexico hoping to reach the United States despite president Donald Trump’s threats of mass deportations and limiting asylum. According to Assosicted Press they walked along the highway out of the southern Mexican city of Tapachula near the Guatemalan border. Parents pushed children in strollers or carried them on their shoulders.

The best thing for our family is to go at least to Mexico City, where there are more employment opportunities and you can actually settle here in Mexico while you wait for the new processes that may come from this new U.S. government," said Olindo Colmenares, a migrant from Venezuela traveling with his wife and son. It was at least the tenth large group of migrants to walk out of Tapachula since the U.S. election, but the so-called caravans represent only a small fraction of the daily migration flow through Mexico to the border.

They generally dissolve after a few days of walking and migrants continue on in smaller groups or family units. Trump was sworn in Monday as the 47th U.S. president taking charge as Republicans claim unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country’s institutions. A wide-ranging series of executive orders that he has promised to beef up security at the southern border began taking effect soon after he was inaugurated, making good on his defining political promise to crack down on immigration. The Trump administration on Monday ended use of a border app called CBP One that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work. A notice on the website of Customs and Border Protection on Monday just after Trump was sworn in let users know that the app that had been used to allow migrants to schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available.

The notice said that existing appointments have been cancelled. Other orders will rely more on the U.S. military and redefining who gets to become an American. As Republicans assert total control of Washington and begin to restructure the nation's institutions, Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday. Shortly after his inauguration, he fulfilled his defining electoral pledge to crack down on immigration by enacting a broad range of executive measures that he had promised to strengthen security at the southern border.

On Monday, the Trump administration discontinued the use of CBP One, a border software that has let about a million individuals to enter the country lawfully and be eligible to work. Shortly after Trump took office, Customs and Border Protection posted a notice on its website on Monday informing users that the app that was used to help migrants make appointments at eight ports of entry along the southwest border is no longer accessible. Existing appointments have been canceled, according to the message. Other orders will redefine who is eligible to be an American and rely more on the U.S. military.
