Caravan Migrants in Tijuana Announce Hunger Strike to Demand Asylum in US
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/29/2018 | by Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 11/29/2018 11:37:05 AM PST by Rusty0604

Buzzfeed reporter Adolfo Flores posted to Twitter a report from the announcement, “A group of women from the caravan just announced they’re going on a hunger strike in Tijuana to demand immediate Mexican temporary humanitarian visas while they wait for asylum in the US, the US to speed up the asylum process at the border, and stop to deportations of caravaners”

The “hunger strike” will be held at a border crossing for visibility (and media photo-ops.)

That’s what I was thinking. I’m struggling to see a downside to this. TJ has already said they don’t have the funds to keep feeding them, and now we have volunteers to go without. Sounds like win/win to me.

Mexico has already offered them asylum.
No point in starving yourselves.

“Hunger Strike” a very staged event where they pretend to be abstaining from food when the tv cameras are on them. However at nights they go back to gorging their faces.

You mean, like Ramadan?

4 kids left at home.
She has nine children total.
She brought five with her.
That leaves four remaining in their ‘wonderful’ country.

They’v compared us to the Nazis and themselves to Jews during the holocaust. So ,given that comparison, why would they think a hunger strike would be effective?

It would’ve been nice to see Jim Acosta go on a hunger strike to get his pass back.

These are bullying tactics. Just another reason why I don’t want them here.

Starve away.

Maybe we should hold a Hunger Games to see whom we will give a shot at getting asylum.

Rules are the same as the book. Heh.
