Guatemalan Border: Neighbouring Guatemala and Semi-Trailer Trucks

guatemalan border: I couldn't stand it anymore, according to Toronto Star. People in a migrant caravan make their way towards the Guatemalan border with Mexico on October 18 in Siquinala, Guatemala. Thank you, thank you very much, Zuniga told her, accepting the gift with a broad grin. The immigrants were part of a migrant caravan of thousands of Central Americans, most from Honduras, hoping to eventually reach the United States. In neighbouring Guatemala, where their journey continued Wednesday amid warning tweets from U.S. President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials, they were helped at every turn by residents who offered them food, water and rides in pickups or on flatbed of semi-trailer trucks. U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to cancel the recent trade deal with Mexico and withhold aid to Central American countries if the caravan isn't stopped before reaching the U.S. John Moore / GETTY IMAGES Many of the more than 2,000 Hondurans in a migrant caravan trying to wend its way to the United States left spontaneously with little more than the clothes on their backs and what they could quickly throw into backpacks.
