A caravan of hundreds of migrants is heading to the U.S. border, reportedly in an effort to make it to the besieged border before the November elections — due to their concerns that former President Trump would shut it down.

The caravan, with hundreds of migrants from dozens of countries, left from Mexico’s southern border and headed north on Sunday. It was the same day President Biden announced he would not seek re-election.

The Associated Press reported that some in the group said they wanted to make it to the border before November, getting in ahead of a possible Trump victory. 

PANAMA PRESIDENT DISMISSES THIS KEY ISSUE AS A 'UNITED STATES PROBLEM'

"We are running the risk that permits (to cross the border) might be blocked," said Miguel Salazar, a migrant from El Salvador, told the outlet.

Specifically, he talked about the granting of appointments to be paroled into the U.S. via the CBP One app. The app was expanded for such a purpose under the Biden administration, which currently allows 1,000 migrants a day in using the app. Trump is expected to stop that program if elected.

Many such caravans break up long before they reach the U.S. border, with migrants going their own way and sometimes arriving at the border independently. 

The U.S. saw record numbers of encounters in FY 2023 and 2022. Recently, numbers have dropped sharply by more than 50%, which the White House has put down to new restrictions put into place by President Biden in June.

BORDER SECURITY, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TOP AGENDA AT GOP CONVENTION: ‘MASS DEPORTATION NOW!’ 

The administration has repeated its calls for additional funding and reforms from Congress to fix what it says is a "broken" immigration system.

"While the president’s action has led to significant results, it is clear that the only lasting solution to the challenges we are seeing on our border — the solution that would deliver additional authorities, resources and personnel that we need to secure our border — is through congressional action," a White House official said this month.

However, Republicans have blamed the historic border crisis on the Biden administration, accusing it of rolling back successful Trump-era policies and adopting an "open border" strategy — a claim the Biden administration has denied.

The Republican National Convention last week featured a number of high-profile calls for additional border security and extra enforcement. Attendees were seen wielding signs saying "Mass Deportations Now!"

"The invasion at our southern border, we will stop it and we will stop it quickly," Trump said in his speech to the convention.

Meanwhile, a recent poll showed the number of Americans who want lower levels of immigration is the highest it has been since 2001.

Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy condemned Democrats, arguing they have "hijacked" the very democracy they claimed to defend.

President Biden announced in an open letter on the X platform this Sunday that he is dropping out of the 2024 race, declaring he will endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to top the ticket. Biden had faced waves of defections from Democratic lawmakers who implored him to withdraw from the presidential race after his widely criticized performance in the presidential debate.

Portnoy has slammed the Democratic Party and American liberals repeatedly since the announcement, arguing that they were hiding Biden’s age-related issues and merely trying to "hijack" democracy. On Monday afternoon, Portnoy spoke directly about his issue with Democrats backing Kamala Harris as the new candidate.

"I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when the left keep calling Trump a threat to Democracy when the Dems didn't let their own party vote for their candidate," he wrote in a post on X. "It's insane!!!!"

BIDEN'S WITHDRAWAL FROM 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RACE DRAWS REACTIONS FROM SPORTS WORLD

Portnoy slammed Harris for being the Democratic Party’s presumptive replacement nominee when she did not appear a viable competitor for the nomination in 2020.  

"She was so disliked and such a bad candidate, she didn’t make it through the first f---ing primary, and I guess she’s never gonna have to get a real vote, because she’s been handpicked on purpose by the people who have been running Joe for the last 2-3 years, and now they’re gonna try to run her and trot her out," he said. 

But beyond this incident itself, Portnoy said that rhetoric from liberal celebrities like actor Rob Reiner "set me off." Portnoy argued that, "Democrats and the left, the way they s--t on our face and tell us it’s 80 and sunny, is so infuriating."

"Kamala Harris will be the 47th President of the United States," Reiner wrote Monday morning. "Democracy will survive."

Portnoy argued that it is hypocritical to share such rhetoric about saving democracy when a replacement candidate appears to have been chosen without a democratic vote.

"Just admit you hijacked democracy, just admit you don’t care if f---ing Mussolini or a head of lettuce is running against Trump, you hate him so much, you’re willing to trample on democracy, steal the vote from the American public, the most supposedly important right an American has, the right to vote, you have stolen from the Democratic Party," Portnoy said. 

"You have said ‘You don’t get to choose who runs the president, we do,’" Portnoy continued. "A group of elite small people are gonna handpick and shove down your throat who you vote for, just admit that."

Portnoy said that while it would be one thing for the powers that be to admit they are using undemocratic means, the hypocrisy of them and their supporters pretending this is democracy in action is infuriating.

"But this ‘democracy is saved’ and ‘America is saved’… It’s the lowest point for democracy in my lifetime. Just say you hate f-----g hate Trump so much youre willing to do whatever it takes to beat Trump, and it doesn’t matter what rights you steal, stomp on, or whatever," he added "It’s like we’re a third-world country now, the way this thing is being run."

Portnoy concluded his video by saying that many critics have told him to stay away from political commentary and stop such rhetoric, but he argued that none of them have actually proven his claims wrong.

"If one person can explain how anything I’ve said is wrong, I’ll f-----g buy you a f-----g boat and be your captain," he said.
