The so-called “migrant caravan” snaking its way through Mexico toward the United States’ southern border once swelled to nearly 10,000 members, but Mexico now says that, after offering asylum and work permits to the thousands of economic refugees from Honduras and Guatemala, only around 4,000 migrants remain.
The Washington Examiner reports that “nearly 3,000” migrants have abandoned the caravan in recent days, flouting their leaders’ suggestion that they resist accepting asylum and temporary work authorization in Mexico and press forward to the U.S. border.
