CHOLOMA, Honduras — His bags were packed, and the smuggler was ready. If all went well, Eswin Josué Fuentes figured he and his 10-year-old daughter would slip into the United States within days.
Then, the night before he planned to leave, he had a phone conversation with a Honduran friend living illegally in New York. Under President Trump, the friend warned, the United States was no longer a place for undocumented migrants.
Shaken, Mr. Fuentes abruptly ditched his plans in May and decided to stay here in Honduras, despite its unrelenting violence and poverty. He even passed up the $12,000 in smuggler fees that his sister in the United States had lined up for the journey.
“I got scared of what’s happening there,” Mr. Fuentes said.
While some of Mr. Trump’s most ambitious plans to tighten the border are still a long way off, particularly his campaign pledge to build a massive wall, his hard-line approach to immigration already seems to have led to sharp declines in the flow of migrants from Central America bound for the United States.

The New York Times is SAD the illegals are not coming..
They can get in line and do it the right way
LEGALS HATE ILLEGALS
And all this time we keep taking about these "poor" immigrants.
Bitch should be arrested for being an accessory to a crime.
Get out! Keep out! Take care of your corrupt rotten country.
Well, shoot...
They are not migrants.
They are invaders.
They are drug dealers.
They are human traffickers.
They are criminals.
They are a cancer on this great nation.
Come in legally, no problemo.
THIS IS THE BEST THING THE FAKE NEWS HAS DONE!!!!!
I’d be OK with these migrants coming here if and only if they were only allowed to stay in Manhattan and San Francisco. The fools there want them so bad, let them take care of them.
That cost what, $400 billion or so?
Notice the sad tone of the Slimes at this great news. Despicable.
Winning takes many forms.

Is this true or not? With the NY Times, who knows? I worry about articles from the left (that talk about decreasing immigration) as an attempt to get the GOP to lessen their resolve to fight illegal immigration (if that’s possible).
Agree to bad it didn’t start 50 years ago.
They are poor, after paying the smugglers. And our (Obama's) welfare magnet policies have us, the taxpayer, paying the smugglers' fees, one step removed.
Migrants = illegal aliens.
