Migrant caravan prepares to reach the US-Mexico border Sonday afternoon

Caravan is a group of people traveling together for safety in passing through deserts, hostile territory. On Sunday morning, caravan participants are gathered at Friendship Park getting ready to march into US-Mexico border. They are expected to march toward the border and ask for asylum in the United States. Asylum is hard to get for those people, and especially when the president of the country is opposed to those immigrant issue. This issue is better known because of the tweets from President Trump and the immigration policy. President Trump is strongly opposed to the immigrants issue that he has encouraged Mexico to break up the caravans and tweeted that he will not accept those immigrants. To take from his tweet, "I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our country. It is a disgrace. We are the only country in the world so naive! WALL.", he said. As the president of the country is not so friendly to those immigrants, those people will illegally enter the United States and the government said that if they catch those immigrants illegally entering the border, they will prosecute under US law. In the situation where those immigrants fled from their own country because they felt unsafe, they are just seeking for safety. As asylum hard to get and the president oppose to the idea of letting those people in, it seems very difficult for them to find home anytime soon.
