Why Are Large Caravans Heading Towards the United States?

A large caravan of migrants is heading toward the United States and could arrive at the southern border prior to Election Day. There are approximately 2,000 people in the migrant caravan that left southern Mexico on Sunday. It is the largest caravan since the new President of Mexico was inaugurated in October. In an article published at The Daily Signal, Jason Hopkins wrote the following about the members of the caravan. 

Among those in the caravan are individuals who expressed concern that a new administration in Washington, D.C., would lead to the end of a popular app that has allowed hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals to schedule appointments with Customs and Border Protection officials in hopes of entering the country….

The CBP One app was first created in October 2020, with the Biden-Harris administration dramatically expanding its use in January 2023. The popular app enables migrants to schedule appointments in order to obtain exemptions at ports of entry, and permits them to submit biometric data to federal immigration authorities in order to apply for travel authorization and obtain parole.

More than 800,000 noncitizens scheduled appointments thorough the CBP. The Biden-Harris administration has additionally flown in more than half a million foreign nationals into the country via an initiative known as CHNV – a program that grants two-year parole to Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan nationals.

Roughly 7.4 million migrants have illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since the beginning of the Biden-Harris administration, according to the latest data from CBP.

While the CBP One app and an election-year crackdown on illegal immigration by the Mexican government have helped keep migrants in southern Mexico, many are reportedly leaving the region due to a delay in asylum appointments and a lack of job opportunities…

Despite an attempt to brand herself as more of a border hawk since launching her presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris has consistently polled poorly with voters on border enforcement issues following her administration’s oversight of a historical border crisis. Former President Donald Trump, for his part, has pledged to hire 10,000 Border Patrol agents, give them a 10% pay bump, and wage a large-scale deportation effort.

 

A Harris-Walz administration will be similar to the Biden-Harris administration and maybe worse. Harris has assured her Left-wing supporters that her “values have not changed,” so the rest of us should believe her. She is the same person that no one voted for in 2019, but she is trying to convince Americans that she will do the job that she has not done for the last four years. If you like what you have seen in America for the past four years, by all means vote for Harris.

If you do not like what you have seen but long for a strong economy, secure border, better foreign policy, and better domestic policies, then vote for Donald Trump. America and Americans as a whole were much better off during the Trump administration.
