Acaravan of approximately 2,000 migrants was spotted traveling on Sunday to the United States' border with Mexico ahead of next month's presidential election.

Both presidential candidates have pushed for tougher security at the country's southern border, after a record 10 million illegal immigrants crossed into the country during the Biden administration. Vice President Kamala Harris recently claimed that people who were caught crossing into the country illegally would be deported and barred from re-entry for five years, per CBS Austin.

The caravan included migrants who were fleeing from Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, and parts of Africa, according to the Daily Wire. The caravan departed the city of Tapachula in Mexico on Sunday, which is on the country's southern border with Guatemala.

Some of the migrants claimed they were making the trek now because of fears that a new administration would make it harder to get into the United States, including by ending immigration appointments through the CBP One app.

“That is what makes us fearful. They say this could change because they could both close the CBP One appointment and all the services that are helping migrants,” Venezuelan migrant Joel Zambrano told the Associated Press.

Two other groups of 800 and 600 migrants also left southern Mexico this month. It is not clear when the caravans are expected to arrive at the U.S. border.

They may be getting a ticket back also.

Get on the Fifty!

Deja Vu.

Getting out the vote?

They must realize that Trump is going to win and want access before it's too late.

LAST CALL!!!

¡¡¡ÚLTIMA LLAMADA!!!

Good. INS can warm up on them and they can be the first ones we send back home after Trump is sworn in.

Apparently 2000 is just a drop in the bucket and another hundreds of thousands are being held back in Southern Mexico until after the election. If Trump wins the Dems will make sure to create massive chaos at the border.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants are being held in southern Mexico until US Election Day — and are eager to rush border

This town near the border of Guatemala holds a migrant time bomb ready to go off just after the US presidential election.

The fuse was lit in December 2023, when the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration sent senior lieutenants to Mexico to work out the details of what remains a highly mysterious grand diplomatic bargain.

Worried about what the optics of the southern border would do to their re-election chances — though not the migrant crisis itself — the White House wanted to stop the pictures of crowds of people gathered at the wall.

The deal was to have Mexico deploy 32,500 troops to the US border to round up untold thousands of intending border crossers from the northern precincts and force-ship them — “internal deportation” by planes and buses — thousands of miles to Mexico’s southern provinces and entrap them in cities like Tapachula in Chiapas state behind militarized roadblocks.

Mexico closed off most of its freight trains to migrant free riders, bulldozed northern camps, and patrolled relentlessly for more deportee targets.

Meanwhile, the administration increased “parole” programs that flew migrants directly from countries like Venezuela, thus avoiding the border entirely.

he effect was immediate. Illegal border crossings plummeted from an embarrassing, record-breaking 12,000 to 14,000 per day in November and December 2023 to about 3,000 or 4,000 per day before January was even over.

But the crisis isn’t over.

The just-released 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment from the Department of Homeland Security says the decrease in illegal border crossing is largely due to “increased Mexican enforcement efforts.”

Tapachula is bursting at the seams.

No one really knows how many people are stacked up, but local shelter managers reported to me that they had filled up long ago.

The publisher of Noticia De Tapachula, the daily newspaper, told me 150,000 immigrants were in town at any given time, a 42% increase in the city’s normal population of 350,000. Untold thousands more are stacked up in Villahermosa, a city of 830,000.

Mexico’s response has been to try to spread the immigrants around the southern portion of the country.

I spent time at two different roadside areas where federal immigration officers would call out names from the crowd, who would board buses that delivered them to other regional cities in Chiapas — but NOT beyond them and certainly never beyond Mexico City.

Mexico is still trying to hold up its end of the bargain, at least until November 5, even though more migrants are starting to slip through and making it over the Texas or California borders.

The question is what happens after the American election.

No matter who wins, Mexico might well consider that it more than satisfied its obligation to the current White House occupant and open the floodgates.

If it’s Donald Trump, Americans should expect a massive tidal wave of caravans for the 10 weeks before Inauguration Day. All the migrants I’ve spoken to say they fear a Trump presidency, and will rush to the border in a last-ditch attempt.
