A massive migrant caravan of more than 3,000 people is making its way through Mexico towards the U.S.’s southern border.
The migrants, most of whom come from Central American, South America, or Haiti, were organized into a group and required to register for the caravan using a QR code, according to Fox News.

Video footage of the group shows thousands of people, including small children being pushed in strollers, walking on foot toward Texas. Several migrants were seen carrying signs with President Joe Biden’s name.
“Tell Biden we are coming,” one migrant named William, who said he was from El Salvador, said.
Another migrant said: “President Biden, we need your help.”
The leader of the caravan, Irineo Mujica, demanded that Biden let them enter the country and blasted the administration for trying to keep migrants in their home countries by offering those countries aid.
“Money is not going to solve the problem,” he said. “They should give them papers here, they should give them the opportunity to work here.”

Mexican police reportedly moved to stop the caravan earlier this week but migrants forced their way through the blockade.
