Up to 3,000 migrants crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on Monday on a trek northward, after a standoff with police in riot gear and warnings from Washington that migrants should not try to enter the United States illegally.
The crowd more than doubled in size from Saturday, when some 1,300 people set off from northern Honduras in what has been dubbed "March of the Migrant," an organizer said. The migrants plan to seek refugee status in Mexico or pass through to the United States.
The impoverished nations of Central America, from which thousands of migrants have fled in recent years, are under mounting pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to do more to curb mass migration.
"We are seriously concerned about the caravan of migrants traveling north from Honduras, with false promises of entering the United States by those who seek to exploit their compatriots," the U.S. Embassy in Honduras said in a statement on Sunday evening.
Mexico's migration institute said in a statement on Monday that march participants would need to follow immigration rules to enter the country, without specifying the criteria.
"The law does not provide for any permission to enter the country without meeting the requirements, and then go on to a third country," the government agency said.

so they just need jobs too, why is that not being addressed. make it more appealing and profitable to stay hpme..bad things will happen if you try to sneak into USA illegally.
50 cal. does wonders on invaders. When I was in Afghanistan we could chop a car in half with a 30 second burst!
Load them up, fly them back, and tell them to try it again
looks like a national security issue to me.
Send in a couple of F-16's and use everything they can carry.
If your "leaders" can tell you that the FBI can tell CONGRESS (YOUR "representatives") what they will and will not let them see (because revealing the NAMES of those lying traitors would threaten "national security"), then I'm thinking that strafing them and finishing the job with napalm and 500lb cluster bombs would demonstrate our unwavering commitment to national security.
Not on the immigrants. On Congress.
Use EVERYTHING. We have to be sure.
