Everyone else in the caravan,
which has traveled through Mexico for days from Chiapas, will have to petition
the Mexican government for permission to stay in the country or will have to
leave.
Couple of
the migrants from the caravan I’ve spoken to say they’re still weighing whether
to take a humanitarian visa or permission from Mexican immigration authorities
to stay in the country temporarily.

Another
organizer said they pressured Mexican authorities into allowing members of the
caravan to travel through Mexico to ask for asylum in the US “without traveling
in the shadows.”

The Caravan
bent the Mexican government into providing permission to travel to seek refuge.
Don’t be fooled, the government isn’t “disbanding,” it, it’s conceding its
participants’ right to apply for asylum without traveling in the shadows. …

Garibo, an organizer with Pueblos Sin Fronteras, said the caravan was not over.
They will continue to travel towards the US with asylum seekers. “We will continue,”
Garibo said. “We have to follow through with our promise.”
