Nearly 4,000 people from Central America have been visiting the US border for several days. Many of them, including women, children and the elderly, are poor and do not even have comfortable shoes for a total of 2,500 kilometers. The conditions are difficult: during the rain, they travel hundreds of kilometers, cross rivers and forests, as well as national borders. Their goal: the USA.
A week ago in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, about 140 migrants heading for the US border began to move. In the media, the group quickly became the "refugee caravan". Two days ago, she reached the city of Zapaca in Guatemala. According to the newspaper "The Guardian", the group could count up to 4,000 people.

"The beginning of an avalanche"
Physical exhaustion is noticeable for many. Some parents carry their children for miles in their own arms because they do not have a stroller. Nevertheless, many continue, because in their country of origin, it contains nothing.
Honduras is one of the countries in the world where the rate of violence is highest. Two-thirds of the population is considered poor. In many neighboring countries, the situation is similar.

"This is the beginning of an avalanche, because we can not endure so much violence," said one of Guatemala's migrants, Denis Contreras, to the AFP news agency. He went to the United States with his sister and two nieces because of "chaos" in his country. From his point of view, he can no longer go back, because an escape from Honduras would lead to the death sentence of criminal gangs.
Merkel presses on open borders, Trump on hardness
In Germany, the many exhausted and desperate people recall the images of hundreds of thousands of people who have come to Europe in recent years to flee the civil war in Syria and Iraq.
In 2015, the number of asylum seekers in Europe reached a record 1.3 million. In the previous year, the number of people was half as high. This is confirmed by the information of Eurostat, the statistical office of the EU. Chancellor Angela Merkel responded to the hundreds of thousands of people who had asked for help in September 2015 with her famous phrase "We can do it" and called for help from refugees.
For this step, Merkel has garnered criticism in recent years. Also by US President Donald Trump (72). Last June, Trump had criticized the admission to Europe of refugees from the Middle East and Africa as a serious mistake, according to the British Internet newspaper The Independent. As a result, the refugees would have greatly changed the culture of Europe, said Trump. Angela Merkel even raised her people against this decision.
Trump faces foreclosure facing the refugee caravan ahead of the next congressional elections. "I am ready to send the army if necessary to protect our southern border," Trump said Thursday night at a campaign meeting in Missoula, Montana.

On Twitter, he described the move the same day as a race on the southern border of the United States and accused Democrats of being responsible for the escape movement. "Our country's attack on the southern border, including criminal elements and infusing drugs, is far more important to me than the president of Trade as US Trade or the USMCA (Free Trade Agreement). with Mexico and Canada), "he wrote.
Only a few days ago, the US president suspended the payment of aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, as refugees from these countries flocked to the United States via Mexico. If Mexico does not stop the migrants, the United States will completely close the border.

The threat was effective. On Friday, Mexico sent hundreds of police to its southern border. Officials are not armed, said Commissioner Manelich Castilla in an interview with Foro TV. There is no instruction to fend off people, says Castilla. Undocumented immigrants will be denied entry.

However, Mexico is not prepared for the supply of people who arrive. Therefore, on Friday, the government requested the help of the United Nations. The UN High Commissioner said he had already doubled his support and that he would make other efforts to help especially children, mothers and the elderly. Most migrants from Honduras are still in Guatemala, some of them having already reached the border with Mexico.
