Migrant Caravan Rejects Offer To Stay In Mexico
NBC News ^ | Oct. 27, 2018

Posted on 10/27/2018 5:18:24 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Several thousand Central American migrants turned down a Mexican offer of benefits if they applied for refugee status and stayed in the country's two southernmost states, vowing to set out before dawn Saturday to continue their long trek toward the U.S. border.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced what he called the "You are at home" plan, offering shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans in Chiapas and Oaxaca states if they applied, calling it a first step toward permanent refugee status. Authorities said more than 1,700 had already applied for refugee status.

But after one of the caravan's longest days of walking and hanging from passing trucks, the bulk of the migrants were boisterous Friday evening in their refusal to accept anything less than safe passage to the U.S. border.

My ancestors came to the United States as immigrants, but I doubt that any of them were openly demanding and ungrateful. These parasitic thugs disgust me; they are already democrats at heart.

International law requires all “refugees” to apply for asylum at the first safe country they enter. By refusing this, they no longer qualify as refugees. This gives the US the right to refuse entry to them.

This is a huge moment for President Trump. Will he put his foot down and say hell no or will he cave to some liberal plan to let them in to Kaliforniastan??? Cave once and that will only encourage others to do the very same, and soon!!! Stand strong Donald. Say NO, HELL NO, you aren’t forcing your way into this nation!! Even if it takes the entire 82d Airborne and 101st Airborne/Air Assault Divisions to stop them.

Weird how many “Hispanics” are running away from and seeking asylum from countries run by “Hispanics”. Surprising that the child molesting bozos at the UN haven’t picked up on this yet.

The DAY before the election:

Border Bridge Pedestrian crossing SHOW DOWN:

50,000 dirty, tired, poor, brown women & kids vs. Sunglasses-Wearing, baton-carrying, grimacing Border Patrol guys.

Good vs. Eeeeeevil —get it..?

And thousands of MSM TV cameras will be there to SHOVE IT IN YOUR FACE.

Yes, a million times. With some kind of scary voice, narrating it all.

They’re going to make sure some one falls off that bridge and dies.

They’ll make it like Bonfire of the Vanities.

The stakes are yuge:

If Trump wins? Muller Investigation peters out and the ACTUAL FBI role before and after Trump’s election is made plain.

If the Libs win? FBI’s treachery stays secret and the impeachment of Trump and Kavanaugh begins.

I believe you are correct about that. Thanks for posting the most highly under-reported fact about this whole affair.

An interesting little tidbit here:

...Still 1,000 miles from the nearest U.S. border crossing at McAllen, Texas, the journey could be twice as long if the group heads for the Tijuana-San Diego frontier, as another caravan did earlier this year. Only about 200 in that group made it to the border.

The organizers want this to become a major crisis for Trump.

They turned down asylum in the first safe country that they reached. They no longer have a claim to asylum anywhere else in the world under international law.

And gives Trump the perfect opportunity to quote international law to the globalists.

Hoist!

Not accepting Mexico”s offer proves they’re not after Safety and jobs. They’re after our welfare system.

They’re holding out for the “land of milk and honey”. All they’ll receive is piss and vinegar. They want the American dream! Free stuff!
