Migrant caravan leaves southern Mexico days after the Texas tragedy

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Early on Friday morning, thousands of people reportedly left southern Mexico en route to the U.S. in hopes of finding the “American Dream”, Reuters report.

Just days after, 53 migrants lost their lives after being abandoned in a trailer truck in Texas in the deadliest human trafficking incident in the United States.

The new group of migrants consisted of mostly Central Americans and people from Venezuela and Cuba included families walking with children and babies in strollers.

“Asked about the Monday deaths of migrants in an overheated tractor-trailer in Texas, people in the caravan expressed sympathy, with some saying they were walking to avoid the danger of taking other modes of transportation”, the National Post reported.

While many make it safely across the Mexico- US border, data shows that in 2021, 650 migrants died trying to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.
