https://www.news.com.au/world/north-ame ... 0b9094a08aTHOUSANDS of wary Central American migrants resumed their push toward the United States on Sunday, a day after arguments over the path ahead saw some travellers splinter away from the main caravan which is entering a treacherous part of its journey through Mexico.
The majority of the roughly 4000 migrants are now headed along what some call the “route of death” toward the town of Cordoba, Veracruz, which is about 200 kilometres up the road.
The daily trek will be one of the longest yet, as the exhausted group of travellers tries to make progress any way it can to the US border still hundreds of miles away.
The arduous trip has already taken its toll.
A day prior, the group was beset by divisions as migrants argued with caravan organisers and criticised Mexican officials before setting out on their own for Puebla and Mexico City.
Some were disappointed after caravan organisers unsuccessfully pleaded for buses after three weeks on the road.
Others were angry for being directed northward through the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, calling it the “route of death.”
A trek via the sugar fields and fruit groves of Veracruz takes them through a state where hundreds of migrants have disappeared in recent years, falling prey to kidnappers looking for ransom payments.
Authorities in Veracruz said in September they had discovered remains from at least 174 people buried in clandestine graves, raising questions about whether the bodies belonged to migrants.
But even with the group somewhat more scattered, the majority of migrants trekking through Veracruz on Sunday were convinced that travelling as a large mass was their best hope for leaving their old lives behind and reaching the US.
The vast majority of migrants are fleeing rampant poverty, gang violence, and political instability primarily in the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
“We think that it is better to continue together with the caravan. We are going to stay with it and respect the organisers,” said Luis Euseda, a 32-year-old from Tegucigalpa, Honduras who is travelling with his wife Jessica Fugon.
“Others went ahead, maybe they have no goal, but we do have a goal and it is to arrive.” Mynor Chavez, a 19-year-old from Copan, Honduras, was determined to continue.
“I have no hope. I graduated as a computer technician and not even with a degree have I been able to find work,” he said of life in his home country.
In his desperation to flee, Chavez was one of the many people who crossed a river from Guatemala into Mexico, defying authorities deployed to patrol that country’s southern frontier.
It remained to be seen if the main group will now continue directly north through Veracruz to the closest US border, or veer slightly westward and make a stop in the country’s capital.
The capital could serve as a better launching pad for reaching a broader array of destinations along the US border. They could also receive additional support, although Mexican officials have appeared conflicted over whether to help or hinder their journeys.
Mexico now faces the unprecedented situation of having three caravans stretched over 500 kilometres of highway in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz, with a total of more than 6000 migrants.
On Friday, a caravan from El Salvador waded over the Suchiate River into Mexico, bringing 1000 to 1500 people who want to reach the US border.
That caravan initially tried to cross the bridge between Guatemala and Mexico, but Mexican authorities told them they would have to show passports and visas and enter in groups of 50 for processing.
Another caravan, also of about 1000 to 1500 people, entered Mexico earlier this week and is now in Chiapas. The first, largest group of mainly Honduran migrants entered Mexico on October 19.
Immigration agents and police have detained migrants in the smaller caravans. But several mayors have rolled out the welcome mat for migrants who reached their towns — arranging for food and camp sites.
Mexico’s Interior Department says nearly 3,000 of the migrants in the first caravan have applied for refuge in Mexico and hundreds more have returned home.
US President Donald Trump has ordered American troops to the Mexican border in response to the caravans.
More than 7000 active duty troops have been told to deploy to Texas, Arizona and California ahead of the midterm elections. He plans to sign an order next week that could lead to the large-scale detention of migrants crossing the southern border and bar anyone caught crossing illegally from claiming asylum.

Well it appears they had help. From who? Who knows. One of the progressive Dems today won on a platform of totally dismantling border control. Imagine that?

Americans around Texas, Idaho, Montana, Dakotas, Nebraska, Ohio, Kansas, Wyoming and some of the South are "resisting". The main goal is to wreck them. What better way than a controlled injection of a plague?
The one that says the least can often have a very different perspective and hold the answer. The least qualified person may hold the most wisdom. When you don’t have knowledge or experience blocking your perspective, you can see problems and solutions.
