Rarely does America see anything like this -
a huge press of humanity streaming through Mexico, dreaming of life across
the US border. Donald Trump, his administration paralysed over the $8 billion
wall he needs to shut them out, calls them invaders. |
|
|
So who are these people and what are they
fleeing? |
|
|
They’ve killed most of my family - my dad,
my brother. We’re running. Only God is
with us
– Tatyana, on the gang violence in her homeland Honduras |
|
|
Now Tatyana and the other migrants have been
warned, by none less than President Trump, that they risk being shot by US
agents if they push too hard at the border. |
|
|
She and her husband Ruben, with their two
small children and another well on the way, press on. |
|
|
I’m prepared to die trying to make a better
future for my family - Ruben |
|
|
Daniel, 13, is risking his life to buy a
future. He is estranged from his mother, who sells drugs for a gang back home
in El Salvador. His only choice there, he says, was to join a gang or run. |
|
|
Too much violence and drugs, they kill you
for nothing. I need to study, just
study –
Daniel |
|
|
On the long road, rumours swirl. |
|
|
I heard that the president will open the
doors for us
– Victor, a teenager from El Salvador |
|
|
Over several weeks Foreign Correspondent
follows the halting progress of two migrant caravans – one from Honduras, one
from El Salvador – as they slowly wend their way through Mexico. |
|
|
Most migrants say they are fleeing gang
violence. Now they face a kidnap and murder threat from drug cartels as they
make their way up La Ruta de la Muerte, or “Road of Death”. |
|
|
Constant
movement equals constant fatigue. At 5 am a weary
mother rouses her teary child when it’s time to move again: Let’s go,
let’s go -- No, no I don’t want to, I want to stay here on my own! |
|
|
Some give up on their
American dream and turn back home. |
|
|
We have come this far
for nothing – Honduran man |
|
|
But when Eric
Campbell catches up with the thousands of migrants massing in Tijuana, near
the US border, he finds that for a lucky few, fortune has swung their way. |

ERIC CAMPBELL: A wall
that’s dividing America, |

a caravan of
desperate migrants trying to cross it.

|
And a President
trying to stop them. |
00:12 |

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “And
we’re not letting them into our country, they’re not coming in.” |

ERIC CAMPBELL:
Tonight, we walk in the shoes of two mums… |

|
VICTOR: “I didn’t get
to say goodbye”. |
00:30 |
|
ERIC CAMPBELL: One of
them will make it to the US, the others will be trapped in Mexico, in a new
wave of migration that’s created a political storm. PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Barbed
wire used properly can be a beautiful sight”. |

It’s the heart of cartel country.

For these 2000
exhausted travellers, it’s their first break since they left El Salvador 12
days ago, crossing jungles, rivers and hostile borders. |

them stables to rest in. Safe, for

ERIC CAMPBELL: For Daniel, who’s 13, it’s part adventure
and part nightmare. He and his friend Victor joined the exodus after
gangsters tried to kill them. |
02:50 |
Daniel interview |
DANIEL: “They will
kill you for nothing. What we want is
a better life. That’s the reason for
this journey. |
03:03 |
Campbell with Daniel and
Victor |
ERIC CAMPBELL: They
were targeted because they refused to work for a local drug gang. |
03:13 |
Victor interview |
VICTOR: “At first we
didn’t believe the threats. But then
they shot up our house one night. We
went into hiding until the day this caravan left, and we joined”. |
03:18 |
|
CAMPBELL: “What do
you miss about your home town, in El Salvador?” |
03:33 |
|
VICTOR: “My mum. When we left, we escaped in a truck so they
wouldn’t see us leave. So I didn’t
have a chance… to give her a hug.
[upset] I didn’t get to say goodbye to her”. |

Donald Trump says
they’re a threat to national security, claiming they’ve been infiltrated by
terrorists and drug traffickers. DONALD TRUMP: “This
vicious gang has transformed once peaceful, beautiful communities that I know
so well, I know them all! Into blood
stained killing fields, savagely murdering, raping and mutilating their victims”. |
04:40 |
|
ERIC CAMPBELL:
Central America is terrorised by gangs.
They exhort businesses, pay off police and force children to sell
drugs. |
05:11 |
Campbell with Victor and
Daniel |
For kids like Victor,
the choice is stark – join a gang or get out. |

VICTOR: “If we go
back to El Salvador they’ll kill me and my family. So that’s why we’re here, asking God to
help us keep going”. |

Juan Carlos walks taking
photos |
ERIC CAMPBELL:
Photographer Juan Carlos, who was born in El Salvador, understands what it’s
like for a child to flee. His mother
smuggled him to the US when he was 11 to escape a civil war between leftists
and US-backed dictators. |
05:47 |
|
JUAN CARLOS: “It was
very personal to see this amount of people leaving at once… escaping, |
06:12 |
Juan Carlos interview |
in a way the same
things people were escaping in the '80s during the war, you know lack of
opportunities, violence, now gang violence”. |
06:19 |
Migrants resting in

ERIC CAMPBELL: He’s
documented the rise of the gangs which he traces to that war time
exodus. |
06:25 |
Juan Carlos's photos of
gangs |
Some of these men
grew up in gang ridden parts of Los Angeles.
They formed their own gangs for protection, so the US deported them
back to Central America. JUAN CARLOS: “They’re
Americans, they’re Americanised. Their
Spanish might not be good enough to get a job, I mean |
06:33 |
Juan Carlos interview |
and they start doing
what they’re known to do. So they
start organising themselves in those neighbourhoods and you know creating
their own cliques and gangs to the point that extortion is a big thing. You know pretty, much if you live in a
neighbourhood that is controlled by them, you’re either with them or against
them. If you’re against them then pretty much your life is at risk”. |
06:55 |
Victor |
CAMPBELL: “Do you
think you’ll be able to get into the USA?” VICTOR: “Yes. Because I heard that the president will open
the doors for us”. |
07:15 |
Police vehicles on farm |
ERIC CAMPBELL: First
they have to cross cartel country. “Well this is one of
the most dangerous stretches of the journey.
It’s called La Ruta de la Muerte, |
07:35 |
Campbell to camera |
the “Road of Death”
because of the hundreds of kidnappings and murders in recent years as two
rival drug cartels fight for control”. |

A local priest,

FATHER DANIEL OVACHE:
“We are trying to stop people from leaving in trucks or other methods. We are

her husband Ruben joined this caravan to escape the gangs of San Pedro Sula,
one of the world’s most violent cities. |

TATYANA RAMIREZ:
“They have killed the majority of my family, my dad, my brother. |

They have tortured
us. That’s why we are running away”. |

Ruben interview |
RUBEN RAMIREZ: “In
truth… it wasn’t a hard decision to make.
To die walking north or to die in my country. I’d rather die trying to
make a better future for my family”. |
12:32 |
Migrants resting in stadium |
ERIC CAMPBELL: They
were among the first to join the caravan as they walked across Central
America, thousands joined them… all believing there is safety in numbers. RUBEN RAMIREZ: “If
the caravan crosses over, we cross with them. |
12:42 |
Ruben interview |
If the caravan asks
for asylum, we ask for asylum too”. |
12:57 |
Tatyana interview |
ERIC CAMPBELL: Tatyana who’s 21 is carrying her third
child. TATYANA RAMIREZ: “The
truth is I feel terrible because I’m pregnant. The walking has affected me a lot. They had to give me fluids because I was
dehydrated. They journey is very
dangerous. Only God is with us”. |
13:01 |
Campbell to camera at
stadium |
ERIC CAMPBELL: “It is
hard to convey the enormity of what we’re seeing here, because there are
literally thousands of people who have walked more than 1600 kilometres to
get here and this is the first place they haven’t been worried about being
robbed or killed, or that women and young girls have had to be fearful of
being raped, and it’s a brief respite, because if they continue to go north
and most say they will, it’s more than a 1000 kilometres to the US border
where thousands of combat troops have been sent to stop them. But that’s a risk they’re prepared to take
for just a chance of security for themselves and their children”. |

One of the most
determined travellers we meet is Miriam Celaya. She’s persuaded a local woman to let her
and her two kids stay in her home.
Miram’s also looking after Cindy, a 19-year-old solo traveller who she
met on the road. |
14:07 |
Miriam interview |
MIRIAM CELAYA:
“Caravans are bad. Because men do not
respect women and children. They only care for themselves, and will leave you
behind”. |
14:29 |
|
CAMPBELL: “How are
your daughters?” MIRIAM CELAYA: “What
can I say? Sick. They’ve gotten sick on the road. They cry because they don’t
want to keep walking. But I put them on my shoulder and we keep going”. |
14:40 |
Miriam holds up photo of
family with husband |
ERIC CAMPBELL: Four years ago, her husband paid people
smugglers to get across the border, they abandoned him to die in the desert
of hypothermia. MIRIAM CELAYA: “My
oldest daughter has special needs. She
is deaf and mute. |
15:01 |

My husband was going
to America to get money for an operation. Now I’ve left Honduras with the
caravan to get her the operation in the US”. |

ERIC CAMPBELL: She
can’t see why Donald Trump won’t let her in. MIRIAM CELAYA:
“Americans go to Honduras. They get in
and out, no problem. |
15:26 |
Miriam interview |
Why can’t we do the
same? We are going to work, we are going to work for them. We are giving them everything to work for
them. Because it’s weird and rare to find an American who likes to work. People from Honduras are the one doing the
work. All I want is an
opportunity. He should open the door
to all of us. All who are coming.
Because in our country we cannot live”. |
15:36 |
Migrants at stadium. Woman
makes announcement |
ERIC CAMPBELL: Back at the stadium the decision has been
made to push on. ANNOUNCEMENT: “The
mothers and kids can’t keep the same pace as the rest of us, we have pregnant
women and we shouldn’t take risks with them. We are human, we are not animals. That’s why we ask for patience. We will get there”. |

kids?” RUBEN RAMIREZ:
“They’re going too. They’re sleepy,
but it’s time to leave”. |
18:25 |
|
ERIC CAMPBELL: Ruben is uneasy. He shows us a death threat
sent to his phone. RUBEN RAMIREZ: “I am
going to kill you for being a piece of shit”. The message was sent from one
of the gangs. But I have nothing to do
with them”. |
18:32 |
Ruben shows threatening
text |
CAMPBELL: “Are you
scared?” RUBEN RAMIREZ: “Yes,
a little. For them more than
anything. For me it’s OK, but I am
afraid for my family. I want them to get to the USA”. |
18:46 |
Families head off |
Music |
18:59 |
|
ERIC CAMPBELL: As
welcoming as the city authorities have been, they’re keen for the caravan to
move on, organising two trains to get them out before dawn. To avoid the worst bandit areas, they’ll
head to the Pacific, a journey almost three times longer than the direct
route north. |
19:20 |
Campbell to camera at train
station |
“And so it
begins. The first leg at least they
can go by metro for part of the journey, then they’ll be back on the roads
walking. It's 2,600 kilometres to their destination Tijuana, the route they
believe will be the least dangerous.
When they get to the US border, it could be the most frightening part
of all”. |

sending Ruben into panic. |

Ruben interview |
RUBEN RAMIREZ: “There
were so many people, I lost her. I
couldn’t find her until we both reached Sonora. All the way from Guadalajara I was
depressed because I couldn’t find her. I knew she would be in pain from
walking too much with the baby. She
feels like she is going into labour”. |

“Right now things are not good, even for people already living on the other

ERIC CAMPBELL: Tatyana and Ruben face months in

deliberately slowed. |

RUBEN RAMIREZ: “I’m
going to wait. At the moment we are
scared of being deported. We are going to wait a couple of months and see if
things calm down. Then we’ll seek asylum in the US”. |
