Migrant Caravan Reaches Chiapas as Trump May Deny Them Opportunity to Seek Asylum (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The US President Donald Trump may use emergency powers to stop caravans of migrants from crossing the US border, as thousands of people from Central America are still heading to US.
Thousands of Central American migrants reached the municipality of Arriaga in the Mexican state of Chiapas on Friday, after travelling around 100 kilometers (62.1 miles) from the state's Pijijiapan through Tonala.
The president Trump wants to deny migrants any opportunity to seek asylum, according to CBS News.
Trump has publicly voiced his frustration over the caravan, and now the administration is considering a wide range of administrative, legal and legislative options. He tweeted a message to the migrants Thursday: "Go back to your country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!"
