While the issue of the migrant caravans has largely dropped off the media radar lately in the midst of the shutdown theater drama, the problem hasn’t gone away. If anything, the swelling number of migrants waiting in the Tiajuana area is festering as the migrants grow frustrated with the long wait for their claims to be processed. (American officials are processing up to one hundred per day, but there is already a waiting list in the thousands.) But surely they must have known they were going to run into these sorts of logistical problems, right?
Not really. Many of them seem genuinely surprised with the chilly reception they received from some Mexican officials and the backlog at the U.S. border. And there may be a reason for that. The Washington Times takes a deep dive this week into a supposed human rights group which seems to be playing a key role in both forming these massive caravans and setting unrealistic expectations for them about what the migrants’ journey would entail. The group is called Pueblo Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders), and one of their leaders, Irineo Mujica, is heavily involved with “leading” the caravans toward the United States and discouraging the migrants from looking for work and residency in Mexico.
For the migrants, there is safety in numbers when traveling through crime-ridden Mexico. Such journeys would be near-impossible without the help of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a collective of about 40 U.S. and Mexican activists that is most closely associated with the U.S.-bound caravan phenomenon. Mujica, a dual U.S.-Mexican citizen who grew up in Arizona, is one of their leading voices.
Pueblo Sin Fronteras activists maintain they simply accompany what they call an “exodus” from Central America and want to ensure migrant rights are respected. But they have drawn increasing criticism, even from one-time allies, who say they play a much larger role than they claim, downplay the dangers of such treks, especially for families and small children, and encourage illegal immigration.
The most recent caravan brought more than 6,000 people to Tijuana, Mexico, last month, where they lived in a squalid, city-funded shelter for two weeks and got a chilly reception from the mayor and some residents.
These caravans have been forming up for a few years now, but they were originally home-grown affairs attracting only a couple hundred participants at most. Once Pueblo Sin Fronteras got involved, however, the numbers spiked into the thousands. The group is funded through Freedom for Immigrants, a non-profit outfit based in San Francisco. They always insist that they are not the “leaders” of the caravans, but whenever the groups of migrants take a vote on what to do next, it seems that Irineo Mujica or one of the other Pueblo Sin Fronteras members is the person doing the counting and “explaining” their options.
That’s where the problem comes in. According to the linked report, Mujica regularly tells the migrants that Mexico doesn’t approve many asylum requests and doesn’t really want them. He also allegedly downplays problems with gaining asylum in the United States and encourages them to “keep going” and make it to the American border, despite the fact that Mexico is opening up their southern territory to more immigrants and creating jobs for them.
Where do they get their money?
DNC SOROS numerous communists orgs.
Some of it was laundered through the Beto O’Rourke campaign.
No doubt.
That sounds likely.
Bullid the wall
Deny them all
Barge them for criminal, terroristic efforts, freeze their funds.
That fact was on the news here in Texas.
Well, we have a fence, walls, roof, doors that lock, burglar alarm that signals police if there is a break in. Sure keeps the bad guys out and we are surrounded by illegals here.
PS
we are also heavily armed.
“... one of their leaders, Irineo Mujica…”
Why is this person not in jail? He actively brags that he is involved in a conspiracy to break immigration laws, and he is still free? What is wrong with this picture?
“American officials are processing up to one hundred per day, but there is already a waiting list in the thousands.”
Why are we doing that?? I thought their beloved international law says they should ask asylum in the first “safe” country they enter, and Mexico is such a country.
Answer: Read the article.
Question: Where does the sponsor get their money?
Answer: Can you spell SOROS?
Processing hundreds a day.
Sounds like we need the DMV to handle the process.
You know like 2 a day
Probably need to catch him on this side of the border.
Looked at their organization. They are way too small to have done this on their own, they are definitely a front. They were formally the “Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC)” with ties to Soros.
Looking for a donor list but the search engines are obviously working for them too. If anyone wants to help there might be a treasure at the bottom of this hole. Like direct ties to officials or tech companies.
Freedom for immigrants the funding group for above. Has links to its activities including legislator who want to end detention of illegals. But again no About page or any apparent funding.
I had no luck with ICAAN WHOIS as my browser appears too old. This will yield some more information on owners and registration for both sites.
A bunch of kabal lawyers who have all clerked for Judges who issue the most critical Court immigration decisions.
A hornet's nest in search of a can of Raid.
Freeloading communist thieves and bomb throwers. They are the reason that Mexico and Central and South America are the cesspools of the planet.
