“The” so-called migrant caravan wasn’t a one-time event. Immigrants come every day, and another caravan is forming.

More than 1,000 Hondurans participating in the latest migrant caravan have begun heading by foot and in vehicles toward neighboring Guatemala with the hope of eventually reaching the far-off U.S./Mexico border.

Some left San Pedro Sula late Monday and others departed in the predawn hours Tuesday, all headed west for Guatemala — from where they plan to cross into Mexico and then push overland toward the United States.

The size of the caravan — official estimates put the number at 800 to 1,000 or so, while advocacy groups said 1,500 to 2,000 people were involved — is likely to increase as others join the assemblage winding slowly along the roads. It is unknown yet whether they will head for Tijuana, 2,800 miles north, or whether they will take a somewhat shorter route to another of the border crossings.
