Caravan migrants aren't exactly living up to their early billing, supposedly this time coming to seek asylum in Mexico. Actually, they're coming here.
And the flimsiness of their asylum claims lies not just in their statements of wanting 'a better life' in the U.S., but in their disdain for a generous benefit package that Mexico has ready to offer them. According to Agence France-Press:
Mexican authorities are urging the migrants to cross the border legally and offering expedited "visitor cards" that let them work and access basic health care in Mexico.
So far, 969 migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua have been registered under the program and given bracelets that they can exchange for visitor cards in five days.
But hundreds more migrants ignored the offer and crossed illegally, not content to wait in the park where the caravan has camped out in the border city of Tecun Uman, Guatemala.

Articles on who organizes the caravans.
Not just Democrats.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio all voted to make the 30 million already here citizens.
Can’t get much bigger a prize than that.
There is no one being prosecuted for employing them.
No one is going to jail for working illegally.
Once in they are home free.
The President tweeted that there will be no big push to remove the 30 million already here (he used the phony 11 million number)
Trump before you get your 2700 more Border Patrol Officers put 5000 more military and seal the border. When the current caravan gets here close the boarder tight as a shield and let no one in, at all. Shut it both ways and be damned with those that play games. Games are over, this is national security and America depends on it.
According to “international law,” they aren’t refugees anymore. They’re an invading force.
We’ll end up having to invade Mexico before it’s all said and done.
