Asylum-seeking migrant caravan reaches the US-Mexico border

This article by CNN discusses the climax on what was a caravan traveling from various locations in Central America to the U.S. southern border. Leaders within the caravan have stated that they plan on crossing the border and then peacefully turning themselves in seeking asylum. Their journey stopped at Friendship park in Tijuana. With the present administration's view on immigration, it has become an extremely hot and emotional topic for people to talk about. Trump has already come out and condemned the caravan several weeks ago.

Many of the people within the caravan are seeking a better life for themselves and their families. It will be interesting to see what develops from this as only 25% of hopeful refugees from Mexico attain asylum from the United States.
