"I don’t know, we have to wait. We have to keep walking. We have to wait for him to become president and decide what to do with us. We are all waiting for his answer, whether he will let us cross into his country or he will deport us to Venezuela."

"We are very afraid because it looks like he is going to eliminate the CBP One (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) appointment. We are afraid. We ask the U.S. government to help us because there are many needs in our countries."

STORYLINE:
In the early hours of Wednesday, a new caravan of about 1,500 migrants left southern Mexico to attempt to enter the United States before Donald Trump takes office, due to fears of border closures and massive deportations.
The migrants, mostly from Central and South America, left the border city of Tapachula, in the Mexican state of Chiapas, where they claim there are no job opportunities and immigration regulation offices are saturated.
Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election instantly changed calculations for millions of migrants or potential migrants across the globe.
Trump has promised to end a U.S. program called CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) One that brought some degree of order to asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump wants to again restrict refugee resettlement and he warned throughout the campaign of mass deportations.
23-year-old Venezuelan migrant Yotzeli Peña said on Wednesday that she thinks with Trump’s return to the White House, the situation for migrants will become more difficult.
This is the sixth caravan to leave the southern border in less than two months.
Groups of several hundred to several thousand migrants moving together en masse has become more common in recent years.
But the only caravans that made it to the U.S. border were among the earliest, in late 2018 and early 2019.
While visually and symbolically powerful, the caravans represent only a fraction of the migrants moving north on any given day through Mexico.
Most of the traffic happens out of view, conducted by smugglers.
