Latest migrant caravan moving toward US has little Mexican support: report

The latest migrant caravan making its way toward the U.S. border has limited support from Mexico, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

The group of Central Americans moving toward the U.S. this weekend are reportedly receiving less aid from Mexico’s local governments than previous caravans.

Those migrants received food and shelter from town governments, churches and passersby, according to AP.

Significant pressure from the U.S. has changed that, with the Mexican government reportedly urging local officials to not provide assistance.

President Trump earlier this month threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border if Mexico didn’t do more to curb migrant flows. He later changed course to threatening auto-tariffs.

Record immigration figures have overwhelmed facilities, a situation which administration officials have called a “breaking point.”
