Besides gang members and mobs of young angry men, the Central American caravan making its way into the United States also consists of Africans, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and Indians. Judicial Watch is covering the crisis from the Guatemalan-Honduran border this week and observed that the popular mainstream media narrative of desperate migrants—many of them women and children—seeking a better life is hardly accurate. Guatemalan intelligence officials confirmed that the caravan that originated in the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula includes a multitude of Special Interest Aliens (SIA) from the countries listed above as well as other criminal elements and gang members.
There are also large groups of men, some with criminal histories, aggressively demanding that the U.S. take them in. During a visit to the Guatemalan town of Chiquimula, about 35 miles from the Honduran border, Judicial Watch encountered a rowdy group of about 600 men, ages 17 to about 40, marching north on a narrow two-lane highway. Among them was a 40-year-old Honduran man who previously lived in the United States for decades and got deported. His English was quite good, and he said his kids and girlfriend live in the U.S. Another man in his 30s contradicted media reports that caravan participants are fleeing violence and fear for their life. “We’re not scared,” he said waving his index finger as others around him nodded in agreement. “We’re going to the United States to get jobs.” Others chanted “vamos para allá Trump!” (We’re coming Trump) as they clenched their fists in the air. “We need money and food,” said a 29-year-old man who made the trek with his 21-year-old brother.
All of the migrants interviewed by Judicial Watch repeated the same rehearsed line when asked who organized the caravan, insisting it was a spontaneous event even though there were clearly organizers shouting instructions in Spanish and putting select persons in front of cameras for interviews. A few claimed they heard about it on local news in Honduras. All of them said the caravan was not about politics but rather poverty. “I just want to get back to the U.S.,” said a 32-year-old man who admitted he has been deported from the U.S. twice. “We are all just looking for work.” The group radiated a sense of empowerment. One marcher, who appeared to be in his late teens, yelled “you go live in Honduras and see what it’s like!”
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a conservative, said in a local newspaper report that leftist interests seeking to destabilize the country are manipulating migrants. Women and children are being used without regard to the risks to their lives, Hernández said. “The irregular mobilization was organized for political reasons to negatively affect the governance and image of Honduras and to destabilize the peace of neighboring countries,” the president said, adding that many have returned to the country after realizing they’ve been fooled.
Guatemala is overwhelmed with the sudden onslaught and immigration officials confirmed 1,700 migrants have been returned to Honduras on buses. The first wave of migrants totaled about 4,000, according to Guatemalan government sources, followed by a second, less organized group of about 2,000. The impoverished Central American nation needs help, including logistical, communications and civil affairs support to stop the human caravans. “There are only so many resources we can dedicate to this,” said Guatemalan Secretary of Strategic Intelligence Mario Duarte. Guatemalans are getting robbed and crimes are being committed by the people in the caravans, Duarte said.
There will be a confrontation, that is the whole point of the Mob. How many have already died on the road? How many when starvation sets in? You know the leaders have no compunction in sacrificing a thousand or so.
Using the weapons mentioned is exactly how it will be handled if it gets to the border and it will cost NO votes but create them.
It is 2100 miles from Guatamala to the US. There is no way they are going to be halfway up from Mexico. That would require marching 155 miles/day.
That Mob would be lucky to go 5. Stonewall Jackson’s superbly disciplined brigade could make 15.
The result of this will be thousands of people starving in the middle of Mexico and a multi-nation effort to deal with it will ensue.
That is what an idiot might do.
They only walk for the photo opportunities.
They ride in buses the rest of the time.
I have long argued that there would be no Civil War because of the inability to distinguish one side from the other.
Now they are distinguishable.

Coordinating a hundred buses and have food, fuel, mechanics and supplies pre-set is a military operation not some rag-tag deadbeats without any discipline.
Have you ever ridden in a Mexican bus? These would be literally filled with shit after a few miles, shit and hungry people.
This is going to make Waco look like a fireworks celebration.
They will not make it to the US border by Nov 6!
I love you.
Well said, JD. bless you.
I love you, too, Laz.
Been enjoying your masterful FReeping for many, many years!
Those Bozos demonstrate their incompetence/insanity daily!
Walk 1400 miles in three weeks? Women, babies, little children? You gotta be kidding me! Never happen!
Yeah, I know. I even DOH’d myself.
Oh brother, at 25 an hour that adds up to big bucks. Soros and some of his leftist billionaire friends come to mind.
Thanks, I’ve never heard of this before.
Walking when the cameras roll. Busses and rail cars when not.

Can you post (or freepmail) a link to the FB post?
Democrats use to use CraigsList but too many people caught on and exposed them.
Actual ‘organizers’ get paid a lot more than $25 an hour.
