Who's in the caravan? Survey profiles Central American migrants stranded in Tijuana
The San Diego Union Tribune ^ | 26 Jan 2019 | Sandra Dibble

Five weeks after a Central American caravan arrived in Tijuana last November, a majority of those stranded in the city were male, young, Honduran — and still hoping to cross to the United States, according to a newly released survey from the International Organization for Migration. The report found that 68 percent of respondents “continue to contemplate and search for the most suitable way, from their perspectives, to enter the United States.” Another 22 percent “prefer to seek employment in Mexico,” it stated. Only a small proportion, four percent, were considering the possibility of seeking asylum...{snip}

But the questionnaire also led to some less-expected findings. A significant portion of respondents, 37 percent, reported that they were receiving some financial support from family. And the majority, 83 percent, said they had been employed before leaving with the caravan...

Who's in the caravan?

People who wish to violate the borders and the laws of the US.

DNc’s plan, which is working:

Allow illegals to be counted in the Census same as citizens.

Offer Sanctuary and benefits to illegals.

Open the borders.

Increase your representation in Congress which also adds to your Electoral votes.

Yes, one party is colluding with foreign nations to impact our elections.

That would conflict with our "democratic" principles. :-/

Give 10 billion additional taxpayer dollars to Mexico n central America and then try to get 5 billion for the wall. Cause our leadership apparently can’t subtract 5 from 10.
Stage a fake shutdown and pay hundreds of thousands of federal workers a free 30 day vacation.

When we arrived back in USA from a trip to Canada, a trip to Bermuda, and a trip to London... they checked my PASSPORT and even one of the border agents really stared at me, back at my passport photo, back at me, etc. for what seemed like FOREVER. I am almost 70, blonde, pale, grandmother. Never had even a parking ticket. Totally clean record. No, I am not perfect, I was raised RIGHT! But they sure acted like I wasn’t going to be allowed back into USA, where I was born, and lived for 68 years.

I guess if I were foreign looking they would have waved me IN!

And the majority, 83 percent, said they had been employed before leaving with the caravan.

Then went with a better offer, a pay raise and a new set of running shoes.

Citizens of other countries intent on breaking into ours.

They should be treated like the invaders they are.

If they are persons who deliberately violate our national sovereignty, then they all belong to one category:

Illegal Aliens.

if only 4 percent actually want amnesty, then, yes, invaders is about the only way to look at it.
