Thousands of people from Central America are on their way to the United States of America as part of a large group of immigrants many are calling a "caravan."

Estimated by the United Nations to have as many as 7,200 men, women, and children, the caravan entered Mexico earlier this week and is expected to get to the USA's southern border soon.
