Rueda was interviewed by phone from Mexico City where he had been participating in a meeting called by Mexico's Interior Ministry to coordinate efforts on the caravan; other attendees included representatives of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees, Mexico's Foreign Ministry, global aid groups and city officials from Tijuana and Mexicali.

It is unclear whether the two caravans would merge or when they would set out on the road north.

The LGBTQ group of migrants says they have faced bigotry and hostility from Mexicans as they moved through their country towards the United States. Such a change would not affect the caravan if the migrants requested asylum at a port of entry.

President Donald Trump ordered troops to the border in response to a caravan of migrants slowly making its way through Mexico toward the U.S.

USA authorities closed down several lanes of traffic at two border crossings from Tijuana to California on Tuesday so that soldiers can install barbed wire fencing and barricades to reinforce security.

As with the others, the LGBT faction are hoping to get political asylum either at the San Ysidro or Otay Mesa ports of entry.

"It's ridiculous to have marines, to have barbed wire, to have tanks, Humvees, whatever we're throwing on the border guns, to greet people fleeing violence?"
