A shocking new video shows a massive “migrant caravan” overwhelming Mexican forces with some heading towards the U.S. border.
The Mexican forces attempted to hold back the “migrants” with riot shields and were 3 or 4 deep in a line, but the “migrants” were still able to overwhelm them.

According to organizers, there are more than 2,000 migrants in the caravan, setting off from Tapachula, Mexico and some are carrying American flags and signs with President Joe Biden’s name.
Tapachula is in the south of the country on the border with Guatemala and Mexican media reported that the migrant caravan had been assembling in Southern Mexico for the past few weeks and was ready to march north.
Diaro del Sur reported that at least 3,400 non-Mexican citizens who’ve petitioned for court writs to travel had planned to set off at 6 a.m. this morning, with or without such authorization.
Caravan organizer Irineo Mujica told the newspaper that Mexico’s National Migration Institute (INM) “has left us no alternative but to march toward the center of the country.”
“This march is for the freedom of thousands of migrants detained in this open-air prison called Tapachula,” the activist declared.
While Mujica told the newspaper he doesn’t plan to travel farther than Mexico City, “Our march is going to the center of (Mexico) so that Immigration hears from all the migrants stuck in the city.”
Jonathan, a citizen of Peru who arrived this week in Tapachula, told the newspaper he is part of a 1,500-strong WhatsApp group of South America intent on joining the caravan and that he had “just crossed Guatemala, but I don’t want to stay here. I need to go to the northern border where there are other Peruvians, and they say things are better there than in Tapachula.”
The newspaper also reported that the caravan consists of people from Haiti, Central and South America.
