Hundreds of people head for Mexican-US border ahead of possible Trump presidency

HUNDREDS of migrants from a dozen countries left from Mexico’s southern border on foot on Sunday, as they attempted to make it to the United States border.

Some of the members of the group said that they hoped to make it to the US border before elections are held in November, because they fear that if Donald Trump wins, he will follow through on a promise to close the border to asylum-seekers.

“We are running the risk that permits [to cross the border] might be blocked,” said Miguel Salazar, a migrant from El Salvador.
