Thousands of Hondurans in Central and South America are moving lined up to go to the US because they can not endure poverty and crime. Trump warned that he would use military forces to block the border.

An immigrant procession from Honduras has traveled through Guatemala to the Mexican border.

Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America.

The drug crime organization is virtually dominated by the city, and crime is raging so that the murder rate ranks first or second in the world.

Citizens eventually chose to escape.

[Honduran immigrant: His son was murdered in a criminal organization four months ago. Do not let the same thing happen to other children. My daughter was already threatened.]

The immigrants' goal of growing from 160 to 3,000 a week ago was recognized as a refugee status in the United States.

The procession has been pausing, as the Mexican government has blocked it from passing only those with legitimate immigration documents.

President Trump pressed the Mexican government, saying it could close borders by using troops.

[TRUMP / President: I hope the Mexican government will block the immigrant procession before it enters Mexico. If not, we will send military forces to defend the southern border.]

Even if immigrants arrive at the US border, they are illegal immigrants, and only a few people are allowed to enter the country.
