Biden aide tells Honduran migrant caravan DON'T come to US border.
PRESIDENT-elect Joe Biden's aide has urged a Honduran migrant caravan not to come to the United States border to escape violence as "they won't be let in right now."
A senior Biden transition official, who has not been named, urged migrants to delay seeking asylum in the United States as the incoming president takes office.
"The situation at the border isn't going to be transformed overnight," the official told NBC News.
The warning was to any migrants hoping to cross the US border within the first few weeks of the Biden administration.
Migrants "need to understand they're not going to be able to come into the United States immediately," the unnamed official stated.
According to the official: "There's on the way, but now is not the time to make the journey."
"We have to provide a message that health and hope is on the way, but coming right now does not make sense for their own safety…while we put into place processes that they may be able to access in the future," the official added.
The official noted that the Biden administration hopes to put an end to making asylum-seekers go through Migrant Protection Protocol (MPP).
However, not all migrants will be permitted into the United States at once time following Biden's 2021 inauguration.
The announcement to migrants comes as violence erupted as a Honduran migrant caravan heading for the US clashed with security forces when it entered Guatemala.
It is estimated up to 8,000 US-bound migrants have crossed the border since Friday as advocates have called on Biden to honour his "commitments" to asylum seekers.
