Migrant caravan: Many migrants are becoming sick
Thousands of tired Central Americans in a migrant caravan aiming to reach the United States had their visions of quick transport hundreds of miles ahead to Mexico City dashed Wednesday as dozens of hoped-for buses failed to materialize.
According to reports, there are four different caravans travelling through Mexico with up to 6,000 people.
