A new migrant caravan, the first of this year but the fourth since the phenomenon began, crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on Wednesday. <br /><br />The group was formed of around 600-800 people, according to the filmer. <br /><br />"Unlike previous caravans, the presence of children is more evident in this one, with whole and complete families forming the majority of the caravan," he said. <br /><br />The caravan is crossing following incendiary comments from US President Donald Trump, who has portrayed its members as "bad people". He tweeted that “only a wall will work. Only a wall, or steel barrier, will keep our country safe!” on Tuesday. <br /><br />The current US government shutdown is in its 26th day, making it the longest in US history. It was instigated by a conflict between Trump and congressional Democrats over funding for a wall along the US border with Mexico.
