https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46008672This year the parade was themed around migration.
The city's government dedicated the parade to migrants who have lost their lives in transit, at a time when thousands from across Central America are currently travelling in a caravan through the country.
One part of the parade had people carrying parts of a border wall, which said (in Spanish): "On this side there is also a dream."

Butterflies that migrate from Canada to Mexico.

I raised a monarch cat that eclosed as a female late this past summer. It may have had enough time to produce one more generation that would have been the generation to start flying on down to Mexico!
