The deaths this week of 53 undocumented immigrants after spending hours trapped inside an overheated tractor-trailer in Texas had been very a lot on the minds of the almost 4,000 migrants who set out Friday from this metropolis on the Guatemalan border with the goal of reaching the US.
The brand new caravan, primarily comprising individuals from Central America and Venezuela, left Tapachula earlier than daybreak for Huixtla, some 52 km (32 mi) up the street, the place they plan to ask for transit visas and transportation for the northbound journey.
The migrants are anxious to keep away from the destiny of the Mexicans and Central People who died in San Antonio, Texas.
