As President Biden vacations in St. Croix, a new wave of 7,000 asylum-seekers, primarily from Cuba, Haiti, and Honduras, is poised to flood the already overwhelmed US southern border. This Christmas caravan is set to cross into the US just before US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits Mexico.
Departing from Tapachula, a southern Mexican city, on Christmas Eve, this newly formed caravan is marching through Mexico, creating additional strain on local resources. Tapachula officials express concern that the town’s capacity is reaching its limit as the southern border with Guatemala remains open, allowing 800 to 1,000 people to cross daily.
Migrant rights activist Luis Garcia Villagrin warns of a potential collapse if the situation in Tapachula is not addressed promptly.

The caravan, bearing a large cross and a banner proclaiming “Exodus from poverty,” covers approximately 9 miles in its trek from dawn on Sunday, according to the BBC. This comes against the backdrop of a staggering 2 million migrant encounters at the US southern border during the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.
