MEXICO CITY (AP) — A caravan of more than 1,000 Hondurans is winding its way toward their country's border with Guatemala, with the goal of reaching a better life in the United States.

Dunia Montoya, a volunteer helping the migrants, said the group planned to sleep Saturday inside an auditorium in Santa Rosa de Copan, a town several hours east by car from Guatemala.

The migration began swelling spontaneously Friday after local media reported on approximately 160 migrants who had agreed to depart together for greater safety from San Pedro Sula. The aspiring migrants organized via WhatsApp chats.

"People leave Honduras every day, but this is the first time (they do it) in a public way and in a group," Montoya said in a telephone interview from Santa Rosa de Copan.

1. Funny this should come up again. Another caravan...are we truly sure that this isn't an ...

immigration play by rump and cronies to gaslight this as an issue all of the sudden w/ elections coming up shortly?

I recall last year or earlier of another caravan of refugees ... and rump was harping about it etc. etc. etc., until the point I want to stick my finger in my throat and puke if rump said another word...that is, other than normally when rump speaks I want to puke at the nonsense he spews out.
