His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Mexico’s National Migration Institute says the Mexican government has processed \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SEGOB_mx/status/1054167098371403776\">more than 1,000 refugee claims\u003c/a> in the past three days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that’s just a fraction of the caravan that continues to press on. Evaluations of the caravan’s size have varied. But according to \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/mayaaverbuch/status/1054118622367567872\">at least one estimate\u003c/a>, upward of 7,000 migrants\u003cstrong>,\u003c/strong> including families with infants and the elderly, are now tramping north through \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jameslfredrick/status/1054058362781032448\">the sweltering heat\u003c/a> of Mexico’s Chiapas state, just north of the Guatemalan border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the group has grown and grappled with the conditions, the migrants have been met with a confused response from Mexican officials. On Sunday, some 200 Mexican riot police arranged a blockade, seeking to block the caravan’s path to the city of Tapachula, only to pack up and leave just a few minutes later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just took this blockade away, all the police left and the caravan kept marching,” journalist James Fredrick \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/22/659416416/migrant-caravan-moving-toward-the-u-s-swells-to-about-5-000-people\">reported for NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has made it quite clear he is unhappy about the situation, turning the specter of the caravan into a central element of his campaign stops ahead of next month’s midterm elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!” Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1054354059535269888\">tweeted Monday\u003c/a>, not long before threatening foreign aid to the migrants’ countries of origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11700363\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11700363\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/migrant-caravan-3_slide-9f68467a71180e1b1421adfc8b74821f0272bebb-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Honduran migrants start their day under improvised tents just across the border Sunday in Tecun Uman, Guatemala.

The State Department says the money, which is spent in collaboration with programs run by the three countries, aims to \u003ca href=\"https://www.state.gov/p/wha/rt/strat/\">promote economic growth, step up security and strengthen the rule of law\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Honduras alone, agricultural investments by the U.S. Agency for International Development “have helped lift 68,000 people out of extreme poverty,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.usglc.org/faq-violence-migration-and-u-s-assistance-to-central-america/\">according to\u003c/a> the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a group advocating for stronger international assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has been skeptical of the value of this aid, which he \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/19/trump-cut-foreign-aid-to-countries-sending-not-their-best-people.html\">has often used\u003c/a> as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42431095\">point of leverage\u003c/a> against certain countries. He specifically called out Honduras and \u003ca href=\"https://www.texastribune.org/2018/04/03/trump-says-hell-send-military-guard-us-mexico-border-threatens-foreign/\">threatened\u003c/a> the country during the approach of a similar caravan earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11700364\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11700364\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/migrant-caravan-5_slide-9ba307b23d153af900f0e936dc4ac99cec9e8b3b-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Migrant families cross into Mexico using a raft to avoid the Mexican officials perched on the bridge above the Suchiate River.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Migrant families cross into Mexico using a raft to avoid the Mexican officials perched on the bridge above the Suchiate River. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Last year, he also \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42431095\">threatened to cut foreign aid\u003c/a> to United Nations member states that voted to condemn the U.S. for moving its embassy in Israel to the disputed city of Jerusalem. Honduras and Guatemala were among just nine countries to side with the U.S. in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/21/572565091/u-n-votes-overwhelmingly-to-condemn-trumps-jerusalem-decision\">that U.N. General Assembly vote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it remains unclear just how much power Trump actually has when it comes to cutting aid on his own. The BBC \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42557818\">reported earlier this year\u003c/a> that because Congress controls federal spending, it gets the final say on matters of foreign aid — though the president does have some leeway, depending on the program:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Congress can approve or alter the administration’s budgetary proposals and can also specify in substantial detail where it wants the aid to go – even if that’s in opposition to what the president wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, in situations where Congress has not gone into specifics, an administration has a considerable amount of flexibility about how exactly it spends the allocated budget – although it has to notify Congress of its intentions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>An official at the U.S. Agency for International Development, when contacted by NPR, deferred to the White House when asked for further information. “The president has made clear that countries receiving assistance from the United States should support our interests,” the official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the migrants themselves, however, such threats are secondary to more pressing matters — namely, the violence they’re fleeing and the hunger they’re suffering on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11700366\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11700366\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/migrant-caravan-8_slide-e298cd91150b0e5461d045079063230dcac7d5ad-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Members of a migrant caravan carry their children on the walk deeper into Mexico after crossing the Guatemalan border Sunday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of a migrant caravan carry their children on the walk deeper into Mexico after crossing the Guatemalan border Sunday. \u003ccite>(John Moore/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The kids are enduring heat.

However, it wasn't until 2014 that people came together and organized a migrant caravan from the border of Guatemala and Mexico to the U.S.-Mexico border. Besides banding together to migrate in a much safer way, these caravans are mostly driven by a common theme or goal, whether as assistance to those affected by the earthquakes in Oaxaca and Mexico City or in solidarity with those already traversing the country aboard freight trains in search of a new life in the U.S. or Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current caravan, the Caravan of Migrants 2018, was joined in April of this year by\u003cem> \"Diversidad Sin Fronteras,\"\u003c/em> Diversity Without Borders, the second trans-gay-migrant caravan, which celebrates inclusivity and diversity among migrants. At the time of writing, there were already more than 1,500 travelers in the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Photographer Verónica G. Cárdenas has been documenting their journey.

However, it wasn't until 2014 that people came together and organized a migrant caravan from the border of Guatemala and Mexico to the U.S.-Mexico border. Besides banding together to migrate in a much safer way, these caravans are mostly driven by a common theme or goal, whether as assistance to those affected by the earthquakes in Oaxaca and Mexico City or in solidarity with those already traversing the country aboard freight trains in search of a new life in the U.S. or Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current caravan, the Caravan of Migrants 2018, was joined in April of this year by\u003cem> \"Diversidad Sin Fronteras,\"\u003c/em> Diversity Without Borders, the second trans-gay-migrant caravan, which celebrates inclusivity and diversity among migrants. At the time of writing, there were already more than 1,500 travelers in the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Photographer Verónica G. Cárdenas has been documenting their journey.

In recent days, customs officials have told her and dozens of other migrants that the facility was too overwhelmed to begin processing would-be asylum seekers. The Border Patrol has called it a temporary situation.

She was beaten, Quczada says, six months ago as part of an apparent revenge attack on her family by gangs that Quczada's husband may have been mixed up with. When her daughter was released after spending a month in the hospital, Quczada immediately fled with her north in hopes of making it to the United States, where she could ask for political asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've heard that if you ask the U.S. for help, they will give it, she says in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quczada, 36, made it all the way to Tijuana before being turned away by U.S. customs authorities at the San Ysidro border crossing, the busiest port of entry on the U.S. border with Mexico. In recent days, customs officials have told her and dozens of other migrants that the facility was too overwhelmed to begin processing would-be asylum seekers. The Border Patrol has called it a temporary situation. But Quczada is starting to lose hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We had no other choice but to come here and we can't go back, Quczada says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her family has spent several chilly and drizzly nights sleeping out on the square next to the border crossing.

Despite the news, about 200 migrants still started walking toward the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodulfo Figueroa, the top Mexican immigration official in Baja California state, told caravan organizers to send in an initial group of 20 migrants to see if U.S. border inspectors would entertain their request for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figueroa said he doesn't know if they would be allowed in and had not received word from U.S. immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole Ramos, an attorney working on behalf of caravan members, expressed disbelief that U.S. authorities cannot process more asylum seekers until its backlog eases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have been well aware that a caravan is going to arrive at the border,\" she said at a news conference. \"The failure to prepare and failure to get sufficient agents and resources is not the fault of the most vulnerable among us.

The caravan got attention after President Donald Trump and members of his Cabinet called it a threat to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the migrants were expected to arrive, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said San Diego's San Ysidro crossing would not immediately be able to handle more asylum seekers. It can hold about 300 people at a time, and officials had been warning that it might fill up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At this time, we have reached capacity at the San Ysidro port of entry for CBP officers to be able to bring additional persons traveling without appropriate entry documentation into the port of entry for processing,\" Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said in a statement. \"Those individuals may need to wait in Mexico as CBP officers work to process those already within our facilities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the crossing could take in additional people as space and resources become available. Despite the news, about 200 migrants still started walking toward the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodulfo Figueroa, the top Mexican immigration official in Baja California state, told caravan organizers to send in an initial group of 20 migrants to see if U.S. border inspectors would entertain their request for asylum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figueroa said he doesn't know if they would be allowed in and had not received word from U.S. immigration officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicole Ramos, an attorney working on behalf of caravan members, expressed disbelief that U.S. authorities cannot process more asylum seekers until its backlog eases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They have been well aware that a caravan is going to arrive at the border,\" she said at a news conference. \"The failure to prepare and failure to get sufficient agents and resources is not the fault of the most vulnerable among us. We can build a base in Iraq in under a week. We can't process 200 refugees. I don't believe it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The migrants had made their way north by foot, freight train and bus over the past month, many of them saying they feared for their lives in their home countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has been tracking the caravan since it started in Mexico on March 25 near the Guatemala border.
