VIDEO: Thousands of migrants march to US border, Mexican police can't stop them
A large group of migrants passed by Mexican security forces near the southern city of Tapachula in the state of Chiapas on Saturday as the group continued its route north to the country's capital.
The group of several thousand people, including women and children, attacked the National Guard, which tried to block the passage of the group, showed the recordings from the local newspapers, reports Bloomberg.

While some migrants could be seen carrying banners referring to US President Joe Biden's immigration policy, one of the protest organizers said some of the migrants marched due to a lack of resources and opportunities that Mexico provided for immigrants.
U.S. authorities have found more than 1,7 million migrants crossing the border into Mexico over the past year, a record number likely to include people repeating attempts to cross the border.
