Mexico says attrition starting to hit migrant 'caravan' with 3,000 drop outs so far

Washington Examiner:

Nearly 3,000 migrants who had been a part of caravans moving from Central America to the United States' southern border have abandoned the group to either stay in Mexico or return to their home countries in Central America, according to Mexican government officials.

Mexico's Interior and Foreign Ministries reported, as of Thursday, 2,934 people originally traveling to the U.S. have stopped and applied for asylum in Mexico.

Of those, 927 have canceled their asylum claim with the Mexican government and returned to Guatemala and Honduras, where the caravans originated, according to a government news release.

There are still roughly 4,000 continuing toward the US where they are not expected to be warmly greeted by the Trump administration.   They have over a 1,000 miles to go before reaching the Texas border and their requests for buses have not met with success.
