HUIXTLA, Mexico (Reuters) – Mexican security and migration officials early on Sunday blocked the passage of a new migrant caravan, detaining several people, as the government moved to break up the group just a day after it set off from southern Mexico for the United States.
At around 5 a.m. local time, members of Mexico’s National Guard and the National Institute of Migration (INM) began surrounding the migrants on the edge of the southern town of Huixtla, prompting some of them to flee, a Reuters witness said.
In the ensuing commotion, some parents in the caravan made up largely of Central Americans, Haitians and some Venezuelans were separated from their children as the officials sought to intercept migrants who ran for the banks of the River Huixtla.
The operation to stop the caravan of around 400 people comes a few days after officials dispersed another large group and followed comments by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador that he wanted undocumented migrants to stay in southern Mexico. read more

It looks like those phone calls from foreign leaders to President Trump are showing results!
Mexico would accept at least some of the ‘refugees’ but they would be expected to work if they stayed in that country; they want the free housing, free food, free healthcare in the Estados Unidos.
I want to be in America
Everything free in America
US invasion from the south and Biden is on vacation, sleeping again. Be sure to thank a democrat.
I hope they don’t make it here cause our president would make sure they are taken care of and forget the people suffering from the hurricane!
Breaking them into smaller groups and directing them to the “more porous” (old or no fence, little monitoring) sections of the border.
