Central American migrants wearing out their welcome in several Mexican towns

Several towns in Mexico where Central American migrants have been congregating are showing the strains of taking care of the mass of humanity.

In many cases, the Mexican citizens are as poor and as desperate as the migrants. That hasn't stopped them from demanding money, food, and medicine as the Mexican government struggles to deal with the crisis.

Reuters:

Hundreds of migrants have been camped out for weeks in Mapastepec, where locals say six migrant caravans have arrived since last Easter. By far the biggest was a group of thousands in October that drew the anger of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ana Gabriela Galvan, a local resident who helped to provide food to migrants in the October caravan, told Reuters the small town in the impoverished state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala, felt overwhelmed by the number of Central Americans.

“It’s really bad, because they’re pouring onto our land,” she said, noting that some locals were reluctant to leave their homes. “They ask for money, and if you offer food, they don’t want it; they want money and sometimes you don’t have any.”

Trump's threat to close the border last month has stirred the Mexican government to action. They are detaining more migrants and limiting the number if humanitarian visas given out. These visas allow the migrant to stay in Mexico and get a job. 

But it brings little comfort to many Mexicans living in towns that have been inundated with migrants.

Good thing for them it's in the Mexican Constitution that they can petition the patron, jefe, or caudillo for redress of grievances.

POTUS rightly knows that sending the successful crossovers to sanctuary cities and states will cause the same disruption and consternation among the libs. Do it! MAGA!

All fun and games until they stop in your little corner of paradise.

If these invaders had to fight their way up the entire country of Mexico maybe there would not be so many of them.

Don’t help the invaders. Don’t feed them. Don’t provide any comfort. That is until they begin to head south back to their homes. Then help them return as fast as possible to spread the news, the welcome mat has been pulled in.

Well, maybe messyco needs to seal their borders. Unless the govt of messyco is using this faux caravan as a way to smuggle messycans, drugs and messyco’s dregs up here.

No sympathy for these Mexican bastards at all. They’ve been destroying America for decades. Remember May 1, 2006, when hundreds of thousands of these cockroaches marched in the streets all across the country, carrying that buzzard rag of their yelling “Si se peudo’’?(Yes We Can!) as if that wasn’t a slap in the face to Americans. Demanding to be made citizens, demanding free everything. Demanding. That’s all these arrogant beggars know how to do, demand. La Raza, Mecha, and Reconquista. Tough merde putos. Not so nice, is it, when it’s your country that’s being destroyed.

Wait, I’ve been told that Mexicans are Pro-Immigration, against borders, and want the whole world to come into their country.

So, that’s not quite true?

Who knew?

“They ask for money, and if you offer food, they don’t want it; they want money and sometimes you don’t have any.”

After which, they undoubtedly take the money to get tequila or the Mexican version of Night Train. Do they have an agave-flavored Night Train down there?

Anabel Quintero, a young Honduran mother in Mapastepec, said when her caravan passed through the nearby town of Huixtla some shops closed rather than sell to migrants seeking medicine for sick children.

“It’s a bad feeling,” she said. “They told us they didn’t want us sleeping in the park, and we had to leave.”

Someone needs to research the background on De-Con & why it was necessary to create this product.
