Migrants from Central America, part of a caravan travelling to the U.S., wait to cross into Mexico at the border between Guatemala and Mexico, in El Ceibo, Guatemala.into Mexico on Monday, posing a potential challenge to the Mexican government’s pledge to help the United States contain mass movements of migrants. The migrants were massed on a bridge connecting the two countries early on Monday morning in what appeared to be a tense standoff with Mexican migration officials and soldiers.

Migrants crossed into Mexico in small groups during the weekend after Mexican security officials blocked an effort by some Central Americans to force their way through the border. The bulk of at least 2,000 migrants remained in the Guatemalan border town of Tecun Uman, opposite the Mexican town of Ciudad Hidalgo, with some saying they planned to set off for Mexico en masse early on Monday, believing that they stood abetter chance of making progress in a large caravan.

“However, in the majority of cases, once the particular migration situation has been reviewed, assisted returns will be carried out to their countries of origin, assuming that their situation warrants it,” the ministry said.

Watch out a Zimbabwe caravan is headed your way too South Africa if your president CyrilRamaphosa continue to pretend that all is well in Zimbabwe!
