Defying US pledges to turn back those seeking asylum at the border, a caravan of about 200 migrants set out Sunday (Nov 18) from El Salvador seeking their American dream, channelnewsasia.com reports.
The group - separate from the larger one of Central American migrants that began its journey last month - gathered in a square in the west of the capital.
They then headed out together by bus to Sonsonate, citing gang violence and desperate poverty as their reasons.
From there, the migrants - including many families with children, decked out in warm clothes and backpacks - said they would travel to Guatemala by bus, and on to the United States.
