Trump has made this caravan a symbol of a porous border and lax immigration laws. This year, conservative media in the United States seized on the caravan as a sign of out-of-control immigration, and Trump fanned the flames with tweets. About 300 people remained in the northern Mexican city of Hermosillo to apply for humanitarian visas, said Mujica, the caravan organizer. Some migrants hesitated on the border as they learned about conditions in U.S. detention centers. At the front of the caravan, Carranza pushed his sister’s wheelchair up the ramp leading to the port of entry.
