SAN DIEGO — The last group of asylum seekers from the Central American caravan crossed into the United States this morning, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Since arriving in Tijuana Sunday, approximately 228 members of the caravan entered the U.S. to ask for asylum. The odds of them staying, however, appear slim, as the asylum process takes months and often ends in rejections.
The migrants say they're fleeing violence and poverty in Central America and hope they'll find safety and security in the United States.
President Donald Trump has tweeted that these migrants shouldn't be allowed into the country. Vice President Mike Pence called the caravan "a deliberate attempt to undermine the laws of this country and the sovereignty of the United States."
But migrants from this caravan are at a port of entry and asking for asylum. And under international law, the United States and other countries must consider asylum claims.
Trump has decried the practice of letting immigrants with pending cases leave detention in some cases — and vowed his administration will put an end to the policy, which he calls "catch and release."
If history is an indicator, the odds of these migrants getting asylum are slim.
More than 75% of applicants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador between 2011 and 2016 were rejected, according to Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

Amado, Az
The US rescue group of Hispanics of various nationalities, Águilas del Desierto, will carry out an awareness campaign in the shelters for migrants throughout Mexico and Central American countries.
The foregoing was reported by the volunteer Ely Ortiz, during their participation during the Border Security Initiative event, organized by the Tucson Sector Border Patrol, in a desert area in southern Arizona, near Amado.
The representative of the rescue group thanked other government agencies for their support in the rescue and extraction of migrants with and without life, from the desert in Arizona.
He explained that the association he represents is formed by a group of volunteers based in San Diego California, with six years of service and most of the searches are made in Arizona, to the extent that just in 2017, they found 22 bodies without life in the desert.
"It is a very sad thing that we are still going through this, but we hope that with these prevention campaigns this number of deaths will decrease a lot," he explained.
He said that the Eagles of the Desert focus on making a prevention campaign, in the first week of June, the group's management will make a tour of all the shelters for migrants in Mexico, from Tijuana to Chiapas, as well as in several countries of Central America .
"By letting them know the dangers they are going to face, nobody there knows, so we want to clarify that we do not promote the border crossing illegally, we simply want to educate our brother migrants, that they become aware of what they are going to face, the dangers that will be found, "he said.
He added that once they have read the information, it is expected that the number of deaths will decrease, adding that it is hard and sad for the volunteers to find the bodies without lives, some already bones, on the ground.
Ortiz insisted that migrants should prepare themselves since leaving their countries of origin, that, if they have any disease, that they do not even try it, clarifying that the famous "American dream" is getting farther, with more difficult and complicated migratory conditions, That is why they consider it is no longer a good option to emigrate and put their lives at risk.
"That is the purpose of Águilas del Desierto for this year, to make this tour, invited the consulates to join us so that all this information is sent to these countries, educate our countrymen, migrant brothers, to become aware of all that, "he said.

Nearly 160 members of the Central American caravan have entered the United States, organizers said Thursday morning.
About 70 immigrants, the largest group single group so far, walked into the U.S. to claim asylum about 9 a.m., said organizer Gina Garibo.
When Garibo announced the news to Central American immigrants sleeping in a tent city a few feet away from the U.S. border, the immigrants chanted, "Si se pudo," or "Yes we could."
As of Wednesday night, 88 immigrants had crossed into the U.S. to claim asylum. Thursday morning's group brought the total to 158.
"We are very happy today," said Biron Hernandez, 27 of Honduras who has been with the caravan since the Guatemala-Mexico border.
Hernandez expected the rest of the asylum seeking caravan to enter the U.S. by Friday.
Organizers say there are about 70 Central Americans left waiting to claim asylum. But that number could change because organizers need to figure out exactly how many people plan to claim asylum in the U.S. and how many have chosen to stay in Mexico.
The caravan arrived in Tijuana Sunday. About 150 slept on the ground in the tent city while 75 slept in migrant shelters, for an estimated total of 225 or so, Garibo said.
