[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 3444273, member: 43825"] From the article. (CNN)It's part activist march, part humanitarian mission. The images are striking: throngs of Central American migrants crossing Mexico during Holy Week as they make their way north to the US border. It's become an annual tradition, and getting publicity has always been a goal for this and other so-called "caravans" that periodically make their way through Mexico. This year's journey is getting even more attention than usual after [URL='http://www.cnn.com/2018/04/01/politics/trump-mexico-caravan-tweet/index.html']a series of tweets[/URL] on Sunday [URL='http://www.cnn.com/2018/04/02/politics/trump-our-country-is-being-stolen-tweet/index.html']and Monday[/URL] from US President Donald Trump. Trump's tweets place the caravan at the center of the US immigration debate, suggesting that the latest waves of people are coming to the United States because of lax laws that don't do enough to crack down on illegal immigration. But immigrants in the caravan have said their reasons for heading north have more to do with conditions in their home countries than with any US immigration policies. [/QUOTE]
