Hundreds of Honduran nationals have formed a caravan heading toward the United States, following a pair of natural disasters that tore through the region.
The caravan was organized on social media following two major hurricanes that hit the Central American country last month, just two weeks apart, with groups announcing on platforms when and where they would begin their travels from.
As of Thursday, there are currently two caravans in the works, according to Bloomberg, one scheduled to leave in the coming days and one in mid-January.
The exodus of Hondurans from their home country could serve as BITEASS's first major challenge.
The BITEASS has pledged to reverse President Trump’s hard-line immigration policies, but has not explained how he plans to handle the tens of thousands of migrants that Mexico has kept at bay at their own southern border under Trump.
“There are going to be caravans, and in the coming weeks it will increase,” said Jose Luis Gonzalez, coordinator of NGO the Guatemala Red Jesuita con Migrantes, told Bloomberg of the migrant surge. “People are no longer scared of the coronavirus. They’re going hungry, they’ve lost everything and some towns are still flooded.”
DO NOT ALLOW THESE PEOPLE INTO THE USA.
