of those fleeing poverty or criminal gangs in their homelands particularly el salvador and honduras and on the mainland it started with threats and i'm a woman and while men can do more than me we couldn't figure out any solutions except to come here and thus it was like a little break from the caravan organizers hope that the sheer numbers will keep them safe from the cartels which often kill and extort migrants and mean the authorities let them stay or pass through so far they've been granted free passage that's impurity to u.s. president donald trump who tweeted mixteco is doing very little if not nothing stopping people from flowing into mexico through their southern border and then into the u.s. that on the whole is not true over. in the last four years mexico has drastically tightened up its southern border with the help of funding from the us usually migrants accord in a web of patrols and checkpoints there have been many accusations of human rights
