More than 1,000 Central American immigrants recently arrived in Tapachula in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, planning to continue north to enter the US. The US Republican Party failed miserably in the midterm elections and lost a majority of seats in Congress. Many people expected that the immigration policy would be relaxed after the Democratic Party took control of both houses of Congress, and decided to risk breaking through. Misael Vazquez, a 25-year-old immigrant from Honduras, said that the victory of the Democratic Party gave him hope. Analysts believe that the team is unlikely to reach the US-Mexico border and enter the US. Previously, many similar teams were often intercepted by Mexico in Chiapas.
