People from a caravan of Central American migrants walk alongside a highway, on their way toward the United States, on January 22, 2019 near Santo Domingo Zanatepec, Mexico.
As Congress continues to feud over the construction of a border wall, another Central American caravan of 10,000-plus migrants has entered Mexico and intends to reach the U.S.
The caravan, which first departed Honduras on Jan. 15, began as a smaller group of around 500 people. However, the caravan ballooned in size as it continued to travel across Central America.
Numerous foreign nationals from Guatemala and El Salvador, eager over the possibility to apply for humanitarian visas in Mexico, joined along the way.
