Migrant Caravan

Summary:

This article basically informs us about people who migrated from Honduras and Guatemala to Mexico on Friday October 19th with the goal to reach the US but this article was updated on October 21st.This article tells us the caravan was headed for Tapachula a city 37 kilometers north from the Mexico- Guatemala border.Their was 10 buses awaiting migrants along the highway between Tapachula and Cuidad Hidalgo and the drivers had been instructed to carry the migrants to shelters  in Tapachula, the officers said.It was unclear how many from the group were from the migrants caravan and how many were Mexicans that just joined.CNN interviewed a 20 year old Honduran named William who had crossed into Mexico via a  float that carried him across the muddy Suchiate River on Saturday.William also tells CNN that the reason he crossed over was to look for a job either in Mexico or in the US.An additional statement from the Mexican government said there were 2,200 migrants remaining on the bridge connecting Guatemala and Mexico, and about 900 tried to cross into Mexico illegallyThousands of Central American migrants fleeing poverty and violence were initially prevented from crossing the bridge.On Friday, Mexican authorities began allowing a trickle of migrants, starting with women and children, to pass through the gates and board buses bound for refugee camps.Some people pushed through or tried jumping over the steal gate until a riot of police stopped them with tear gas and smoke canisters.Nobody really knows how many people actually crossed over or were let in but their on there way to the US. President Donald trump has already made a few statements and posted a few tweets about this current event. Donald trump tweeted "Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our (southern) Border," Trump tweeted Sunday. "People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the US will turn them away. The courts are asking the US to do things that are not doable!". He also tweeted saying" The Caravans are a disgrace to the Democrat Party. Change the immigration laws NOW!"

Analysis:

I can see how this could be bad but I also believe that what they are doing is right.Anyone should have an opportunity to have a job and earn enough money to maintain their family.These people might be braking the laws but anyone else would do the same for there family.These people are just trying to survive and work hard for their family.Many of them took many risks by crossing over which shows how dedicated they are. Personally I think Donald trump should let them in.
