Mexican police break up 800-strong caravan heading towards the southern US border - the FOURTH group of migrants in a week to make the journey

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

A group of 800 Central Americans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Cubans were broken up by Mexican border agents and police early Monday morning

The standoff took place early Monday morning in the town of Huixtla about 25 miles from a basketball court in Tapachula where they were held for processing

This is at least the fourth caravan that officials have raided in recent days

Haitian immigrants, many who have been waiting in Tapachula for months while their asylum requests are processed, have ramped up protests in recent weeks

Tapachula's migrant shelters are currently full - of 77,000 applications for protected status in Mexico, 55,000 applicants were waiting in Tapachula

Frustration with unsanitary living conditions and an inability to work legally led the group to try to bypass the legal process

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Thursday that containing Central American migrants is untenable without investment in their countries

He said he would urge US President Joe Biden to invest in his proposed development plan for Central America and Southern Mexico

'We cannot just be detaining, holding back, we must address the causes,' he said
