Children of the Caravan... The innocents on the epic journey of Central American migrant caravans to the U.S. border, caught amid a political tug of war over President Trump's wall between two worlds. Most asylum seekers knew they would be detained but preferred that to the limbo of living indefinitely in shelters in Mexico, believing at least their cases would be heard and holding onto hopes for a better life for their children. In reality only a small percentage gain asylum and most are deported back to their countries after enduring many hardships on the journey to their dream.
