A massive caravan of 2,500 migrants departed Tapachula, Chiapas, in southern Mexico on Sunday, heading north towards the US southern border ahead of the upcoming Presidential election.

According to the AP, this is the third and largest caravan since the new Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, was sworn into office earlier in October.  So far in office, President Sheinbaum has made no changes to immigration policy.

A week ago, another caravan, of around 1,000 people, also departed for the border ahead of the upcoming election.

Customs and Border Patrol are reportedly aware of the new caravan.

Border patrol can deport those who enter the country illegally between points of entry due to title 8.  However, migrants from “special interest countries” cannot be deported.

According to Breitbart’s Randy Clark said: “As election day nears, the source within CBP, not authorized to speak to the media, says a noticeable increase in migrants, including Special Interest Aliens and unaccompanied migrant children, has appeared in the small border town in recent weeks.”

Immigration has played a key role in this campaign season, with former President Trump suggesting voters may even prioritize immigration ahead of economic issues when casting their ballots.  Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to display a tough on migrants approach on the campaign trail.
