After fleeing tear gas shot at the U.S. border, Carlos González confessed confusion and second thoughts about the caravan that carried him to doorstep of his dream: life in the United States.
[He]... had hopped on the caravan .... figuring it would facilitate his entry.... for five weeks he could hope and dream—especially as the caravan pushed past police barricades and crossed through closed borders in Guatemala and Mexico.
But the U.S. border has proved impossible so far for the more than 7,000 migrants... . He said his family was planning to sign up with Mexican officials for voluntary repatriation.....[snip]
Asylum claims are increasingly hard to make as fewer than 100 migrants a day are allowed to approach and receive a “credible fear” interview, the first step in the process.....[snip]
The arrival of so many caravan travelers and images of clashes with police have exposed an unseemly underbelly of xenophobia. A poll... showed 49% of Mexicans saying caravans shouldn’t be allowed to cross the country. “First Mexico and Mexicans,” ...[snip]
“What we’ve worried about is the closing of the border, the (colder) climate in northern Mexico… organized crime,” said Jorge Andrade, director of a collective of migrant shelters....
Luis Corrales,... didn’t expect any problems in the protest. He said the march set out to seek answers from U.S. officials,.... Women and children were walking at the front of the march, he said, “to see if they would let them enter.”.... He thought the caravan’s experience crossing into Guatemala and Mexico would prove the template for the U.S. border.
But now, “I’m done with the United States. I’ll stay here.”

I have no sympathy for these folks. They are trying to break into my country because they know my country, unfortunately, will give them an easy ride with food stamps and housing assistance.
I have read that Mexico is offering asylum, jobs and job assistance. Why not just stay there?
LOL!

Was watching Laura Ingraham last night. There are several federal laws with penalties up to and including death, for aiding or abetting illegal immigration. Soros, Fronteras,etc., are all guilty of this. Hello, Attorney General...why haven’t any investigations been opened?
Rain is forecast in this Area.
Got Ponchos’?
Yup, it is about to get very miserable in the squalor of the stadium migrant camp as rain is forecast for tonight/tomorrow. By the weekend, maybe they will be begging to go home....
OMG How horrible to lose his delusional dream.
Maybe the price of drugs is going up, too.
You’re done with the USA? There’s a saying I’d love to say to you. That is ‘Good, now get lost!! We are done with people from third world sh-tholes.’
Still not tired of it.
You are supposed to say ‘Not Welcome’s in Spanish...to them...if speak Spanish, I would say to them (in Spanish) ‘Hey, you M-——f—king illegals, stay in your own F—kup sh-thole and make it great again. Don’t F—kup the USA. Thank You!!’
