"Many people go (to the United States) to do bad things, but not all of us migrants heading there — Hondurans or Venezuelans, or wherever we come from — are going to do bad things. We are going to fight to provide for our families because we can’t do that in our own country."

STORYLINE:
Some 2,000 migrants took to the road again Tuesday to advance through southern Mexico toward the United States.
The trek that started last weekend could be the last chance for many migrants to reach the border before November amid fears of new restrictions if Republican Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.
"We don’t want Donald Trump," a migrant could be heard saying, while others along the way chanted "Yes, we can" as they raised their fists to the sky as they marched along.
Trump has promised massive deportations if he returns to the presidency, all the while claiming an "invasion" is happening at the border with Mexico.
The migrants, some pushing strollers and carrying young children along a road in Tapachula, Chiapas, were making the trek as an intense election campaign is underway in the US.
Summoned through social media, the group formed just as US President Joe Biden announced his decision to abandon his reelection bid.
The formation of groups or caravans of migrants moving through southern Mexico has been commonplace in recent years and often coincides with moments when the migration issue is on the regional agenda.
Usually, Mexican authorities let them advance until the group gets tired and ends up disbanding without leaving the south of the country.
Since the beginning of the US electoral campaign, migration has been a key issue given the record flow of people arriving in the US in 2023.
