Mexico City, June 8 (RHC)-- A caravan of at least 6,000 people has departed from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula hoping to reach the U.S.-Mexico border in search of refuge.  The caravan coincides with the start of the Summit of the Americas, where leaders plan to discuss migration. 

Caravan organizer Luis García Villagrán spoke with reporters: “We tell the leaders: We are not anyone’s currency.  We are not going to wait until the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance decides on our fate in August. Today, we are not going to allow the National Institute for Migration to take until September to give us a solution.  Today, the free citizens of Latin America walk out of this immigration prison that our officials are willing to turn Tapachula into.”
