A caravan of thousands of migrants goes to the US border: they demand that Biden lift restrictions on entry into the country
Up to 15 migrants - many of them from Central America, Venezuela and Cuba - could soon join the huge numbers that traveled from southern Mexico to the US border on June 000. They call on President Biden to lift Section 6, the restrictions on crossing the US border imposed in connection with the COVID-42 pandemic, reports New York Post.
“Biden promised the Haitian community that he would help them,” said one migrant from the Caribbean country. “He will repeal Title 42. He will help us get real asylum.”

People began their journey from Tapachula, a town located 16 km from the Mexico-Guatemala border. Reuters, citing eyewitnesses, reported that at least 6000 people left Tapachula. Organizer Louis Villigran said the caravan of people stretched for more than 50 km and was estimated to include 9500 people.
“People keep joining,” he said.
Last week, The Guardian reported that the column had about 11 people and suggested that the number could rise to 000. The Mexican government has not provided an official estimate of the column's size, nor has it made any public comment about it.
As a rule, migrant caravans heading to the United States consist of no more than a couple of thousand people.
Hundreds of migrants in the caravan carry backpacks, children, umbrellas and various flags, as well as push strollers and wheelchairs.
“We have been waiting for a visa for two months with no result, so we decided to take part in this march,” said Ruben Medina, a Venezuelan traveling with 12 family members.

These people will come to the US border when there is already a massive influx of people trying to cross the border. In April alone, border officials reported a new high of 234 people crossing the US border, with just under 088 of them expelled in total under Section 97, over 000 admitted to the US.
Last month, the Biden administration sought to repeal Section 42, which has been in place since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and allows U.S. border officials to quickly remove migrants without hearing asylum applications. Ultimately, a federal judge refused to approve the repeal.
