For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Over four thousand migrants mostly from Honduras are in Mexico, en route to the United States. Aside from Honduras, the group includes men, women and children from El Salvador and Guatemala. According to the Mexican government, seventeen hundred persons have abandoned the caravan and applied for asylum in Mexico and another five hundred Hondurans have asked to be repatriated. The U.S. president has threatened to deploy the military to block their entry into the United States. While it is considered a migration crisis, here in Belize where thousands of Central Americans have made their homes, there is a different perspective. Earlier this week, the Foreign Minister Wilfred ‘Sedi’ Elrington said that migration is not a bad thing.
