He said he realizes how hard it will be to make it to the US border.‘Right now I feel good,’ he said. ‘We have barely started, but I think it is going to be very difficult.’The first, larger caravan numbering 4,000 also passed through Tapachula about 10 days ago, and now is about 250 miles ahead, in the Oaxaca state city of Juchitan, which was devastated by an earthquake in September last year.Migrants along the highway on Tuesday have been stuffing themselves into truck beds and sprinting alongside semi-trailer rigs, trying to grab hold and pull themselves up.Levin Guillen, 23, of Corinto in Honduras, said he’s been getting threats from the same people who killed his father 18 years ago, and he hopes to reach an aunt who lives in Los Angeles. The farmer said he wants a chance to work and live in peace.In his words, ‘We just want to a way to get to our final goal, which is the border.’When told that President Donald Trump has ordered 5,200 troops to the border, he replied: ‘According to what they say, we are not going to be very welcome at the border, but we’re going to try.’Meanwhile, a group of Salvadoran migrants numbering about 500 on Tuesday reached Tecun Uman, Guatemala, and proceeded to cross the international border bridge into Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico.
