A new caravan of thousands of migrants is coming to the US border

A caravan of more than 1000 Hondurans is making its way to the border with Guatemala - in order to find a better life in the United States, writes ABC News.

The number of migrants began to spontaneously increase on Friday, after local media reported roughly about 160 migrants who, for safety's sake, decided to leave San Pedro Sul.

Through WhatsApp chats, a few hundred more joined to join the United States.

“People leave Honduras every day, but this is the first time they’ve done it publicly and as a group,” volunteer Dunya Montoya said in a phone interview.

Other Hondurans who were planning to leave the country saw an opportunity to do it now. They packed the necessary things in backpacks and joined the caravan.

 

Caring people provided trucks to help the group whose first members were walking. In addition, Hondurans offered people water and food along the path of the caravan.

Montoya, who plans to stay in Honduras, said many people in the caravan tried several times to get to the United States.

Some have decided not to send their children to school this year, planning to leave the country any day, she said. There are those who joined the group, having newborns in their arms.

According to a recent survey by the Center for the Study of Immigration, the main problem for which 9,4 million people want to leave Honduras is the poor economy and violence in the country.

The United Nations Economic Commission predicts 3,9% economic growth in Honduras this year. The Honduran Ministry of Labor reports 6,7% unemployment, although almost half of working-age Hondurans work part-time. This means that they cannot provide themselves with everything they need and can barely make ends meet.

31-year-old Maria Dolores Moreno said she folded a few things in her backpack, took her 10-year-old son to join the caravan. In her words, she could not find a job for more than a year. Before that, a woman was selling Avon products.

Moreno said by phone that she hopes to find a job — any job — in any city in the United States.
