Busloads of migrants from 'caravan' arrive at U.S.-Mexico border

TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Dozens of Central American migrants from about 600 traveling in a “caravan” through Mexico arrived at the border city of Tijuana late on Tuesday despite warnings it would be futile to try to cross to claim asylum in the United States.
By evening, two busloads of men, women and children arrived in Tijuana, a city that grazes southern California.
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered officials to repel them.
The arrivals spilled into the streets and gazed toward San Diego, visible at spots through a rusty barrier or across a pedestrian bridge, exhausted after their trek that began a month ago near Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala.
Another four busloads were making their way north from Hermosillo, a city 432 miles south of the border, where the migrants had been stalled for days.

which is doing nightly reports.
I don't know how they do it. This would be an odyssey for a young, healthy person traveling alone, but there are people of all ages an physical shape who find a way to climb on the beast, carrying their few possession and their children on their backs.
The women walk miles carrying their babies, from almost newborns to toddlers. Many of the children have been getting sick.
One has to imagine the desperation for someone to drag children so young and making them endure such a dangerous and harrowing journey. Some have commented that they realized they faced all kind of dangers, even death by joining the caravan, but at least they see hope at the end of the journey.
The thing that breaks my heart is that it will probable be in vain. When they are interviewed and say that they hope that trump will be moves by their story, and he has children and must understand how they feel...oh, my, I can't take it.
