Hundreds of migrants leave southern Mexico on foot in new caravan headed for U.S. border

CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Hundreds of migrants from a dozen countries left Mexico's southern border on foot Sunday as they tried to reach the U.S. border.

Some members of the group said they hoped to reach the U.S. border before the November election because they fear that if Donald Trump wins, he will follow through on his promise to close the border to asylum seekers.

“We are at risk of having permits (to cross the border) blocked,” said Miguel Salazar, a migrant from El Salvador. He fears that a new Trump administration could stop granting appointments to migrants through CBP One, an app used by asylum seekers to enter the United States legally by getting appointments at U.S. border crossings, where they present their applications to authorities.

The app only works once migrants reach Mexico City or Mexico's northern states.

Everyone wants to use this road, said Salazar, 37.

The group left Sunday from the southern Mexican city of Ciudad Hidalgo, which sits next to a river that marks the border between Mexico and Guatemala.

Some said they had been waiting for weeks in Ciudad Hidalgo for permits to travel to cities further north.

Migrants trying to cross Mexico in recent years have gathered in large groups to try to reduce the risk of being attacked by gangs or arrested by Mexican immigration agents. But the caravans tend to disperse in southern Mexico as people tire of walking hundreds of miles.

Mexico has also recently made it harder for migrants to reach the U.S. border by bus and train.

Travel permits are rarely granted to migrants who enter the country without a visa, and thousands of migrants have been stopped by immigration agents at checkpoints in central and northern Mexico and bussed back to cities in the south of the country.

Oswaldo Reyna, a 55-year-old Cuban migrant, crossed the border from Guatemala to Mexico 45 days ago and waited in Ciudad Hidalgo to join the new caravan announced on social media.

He criticized Trump's recent comments about migrants and how they are trying to invade the United States.

We are not delinquents, he said. We are workers who left our country to move forward, because in our country of origin we suffer from many needs.
