Lopez Obrador made the comment Sunday as thousands of Honduran migrants streamed through southern Mexico hoping to reach the United States. Officers who would not identify themselves say their instructions are to maintain the flow of traffic, not to stop the caravan. Some 5,000 Central American migrants travelling in the caravan left the border at Ciudad Hidalgo at dawn. The migrants had grown frustrated with Mexico’s attempts to process them and circumvented authorities by crossing the Suchiate river illegally. They have begun walking out of the border city of Ciudad Hidalgo at first light Sunday morning, headed 10 abreast for their next stop: the city of Tapachula.
