Trump's election promise created fear! Hundreds of immigrants are marching towards the US border.

Donald Trump's election promise in the United States has caused great fear among immigrants. Hundreds of immigrants, who are worried about Trump's plan to close the border, set off on foot from the southern border of Mexico on Sunday to reach the US border.

According to VOA Turkish, immigrants say they hope to reach the US border before the November elections because they are afraid that if Donald Trump wins, he will fulfill his promise to close the border to refugees. Miguel Salazar from El Salvador said, "We are facing the risk of being denied entry permits." Salazar is afraid that a new Trump administration may stop giving appointments to immigrants through the CBP One application, which refugees use to enter the US legally.

THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PERMISSION FOR WEEKS

The group set off from the city of Ciudad Hidalgo in southern Mexico on Sunday. Some said they have been waiting for permission in Ciudad Hidalgo for weeks to go to cities further north.

In recent years, immigrants trying to cross from Mexico to the US have organized in large groups to reduce the risk of being attacked by gangs or stopped by Mexican immigration officials while traveling. However, immigrant groups tend to disperse in southern Mexico because they are tired of walking hundreds of kilometers. As a result of the quota system at the US-Mexico border, arrests at the border have reached the lowest level during Joe Biden's presidency. Recently, Mexico has also made it more difficult for immigrants to reach the US border by bus and train.

THEY ARE DETAINED AND SENT BACK TO TOWNS

Immigrants who enter the country without a visa are rarely granted travel permits, and thousands of immigrants are detained by immigration officers at checkpoints in central and northern Mexico and sent back to towns in the south of the country.
