The Migrant Caravan

The Migrant Caravan refers to large groups of people, primarily from Central America, who travel together toward the United States, seeking asylum or better living conditions. These caravans often form to provide safety in numbers, as the journey can be perilous due to various dangers, including violence and exploitation. The caravans gained significant media attention in 2018 and 2019, highlighting the broader issues of immigration, poverty, and human rights in the region. Participants are often fleeing violence, political instability, and poverty, hoping to find a safer and more prosperous life.
