In the U.S. presidential election, the issue of immigrants is also considered a key issue that will determine votes.

Immigrants trying to reach the U.S. before the presidential election are flocking to Mexico, with former President Trump and Vice President Harris calling for reform of the immigration system.

Tapachula, Mexico's southernmost border city.

Immigrants on the road filled the streets from early dawn.

They are rushing to the U.S. because of anxiety about how immigration policies will change after the presidential election.

[Osman Ramos / Immigrants from Venezuela: No matter who wins the U.S. presidential election, we must not close our borders. Many people, not just us, are going through really difficult times and need to be helped.]

The number of people from Latin American countries suffering from economic difficulties reaches 2,000.

Earlier this month, 600 and 800 immigration processions left the place, respectively.

The influx of immigrants has left jobs in southern Mexico short, and the delay in immigration screening in the U.S. has also encouraged them to go to the U.S.

[Joambris Peton / Immigrant from Cuba] Trump hates immigrants. No matter who wins, they'll win. We'll wait here as long as Mexico allows.]

Local activists estimate that 40,000 immigrants will enter southern Mexico.

The U.S. Border Guard has stressed that they cannot enter the country without legal grounds, but large immigration processions have continued to try to get to the U.S. somehow.
