migrant caravan heading for us from mexico shrinks as donald trump clinches presidential election
Mexico’s migrant caravan on the route to the US in hopes of a better life had shrunk to about half its original size on Thursday as several people doubted their possibilities after former US President Donald Trump triumphed in Tuesday’s presidential election.
Trump clinched the election after a campaign that promised large-scale deportations of undocumented migrants and a return to fast-tracked deportations to Mexico. He represented Republicans and Kamala Harris, the ruling Democratic Party.
The caravan had apparently shrunk to 1,600 people, from 3,000 as the people set out from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula on Tuesday. Just over 100 people asked for help from authorities to return to Tapachula. The other migrants’ updated route is unclear.
During his previous administration, Donald Trump put in place policies that left hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants stranded in camps along the Mexican border, reported Reuters. He elaborately reshaped the country’s immigration politics.
The businessman-turned-politician’s proposed policies for his second term in office also include ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. But if one takes of closer look, the effects could be on a broader scale.
The draft executive order reads that at least one parent needs to be a US citizen or a permanent resident for their future children to automatic citizens of the US. If passed, the plan is going to unleash numerous challenges for people from different countries in the US.
