TAPACHULA , Mexico — A group of 2,000 migrants from dozens of countries set out on foot Tuesday through southern Mexico as they attempt to reach the U.S., although recent similar attempts have failed, with groups disbanding after a few days without leaving the region.Several members of the group said they hoped to reach the U.S.
Several hundred migrants left the Suchiate River on Sunday, a natural border with Guatemala and Mexico, encouraged by a call to join a caravan that began to spread on social media a couple of weeks earlier. “All of us here are hard-working human beings, we’re fighters,” said Laydi Sierra, a Venezuelan migrant traveling with dozens of family members. She said she has not been following the U.S. campaign, but wishes that Trump loses “because he wants nothing to do with migrants.”
These groups are sometimes led by activists, but also by the migrants themselves who get tired of waiting for any kind of legal documents to allow them to move inside Mexico.
