New migrant caravan of 3,000 treks to Mexico City, many towards USA

There's a new migrant caravan forming that has approximately 3,000 people in it - men, women, and children, and it's heading towards Mexico City with many people believed to be interested in arriving at the United States once they pass through Mexico. Global News CA reported on this dire dilemma in their YouTube video description that said the following:

Thousands of migrants, detained for months in southern Mexico, formed a new caravan in protest on Sunday to head for the capital to speed up their applications for U.S. asylum. The migrants, mostly Venezuelans, started their march north early in Tapachula, the city bordering Guatemala whose detention centres have been overwhelmed by their vast numbers. Some said they expected to reach Mexico City in about 10 days.

Fleeing violence and poverty in Central America, thousands of migrants walk together for safety to Mexico each year, crossing several states in hopes of finding a legal route into the United States. The new caravan has about 3,000 migrants, some from China and other Asian countries, Tapachula authorities estimated. Irineo Mujica, director of the non-profit Pueblos Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders), said the new caravan arose as a form of protest by migrants demanding the closure of detention centres. Last month, about 40 people died in a fire in one such centre in Ciudad Juarez in northern Mexico.
