In Honduras she had run a stall selling pupusas, a local tortilla, but been forced to shut down after being extorted by street gangs.
"If you don't pay them they kill you," said the woman, drawing a finger slowly across her throat. "It's like a tax of war, money to bandits, and you can't not pay.
"They made me pay 300 lempira a week - $12. To you it does not sound like a lot, but for me it was a lot. I had to close."
After shutting her stall three months ago the 35-year-old, who gave her name as Carolina, decided to head north. She had seen Honduran television coverage of the US-bound migrant caravan that was then just forming.
She brought her four-year-old daughter and a small bag of clothes. There was no room for toys. The girl caught a fever as they crossed the Mexican border, and cried the whole way as she was pushed in a stroller.
"I've been walking so I don't know what Donald Trump is saying at the moment," said Carolina. "I know he doesn't like me. There is nothing I can do about it. But I will keep going until I get to the United States. When I get there I will open a pupusa stall."(continued)

Well Caravan Of Hope sounds so much better than mass invasion.
weary.
I’m going to call it The Caravan Of Peace, COP for short.
Maybe The Peace Train.
Looks like this woman is being interviewed repeatedly.
I believe I read the same story (slight differences) at another source.
Despite Donald Trump’s warnings the weary migrant caravan of hope marches onwards.
Because the caravan doesn’t believe him. And lacking any substantive actions here, neither do we. Actions speak louder than words.
800 to guard the border, my ass.
What worms their men must be. If they can get thousands together to walk to the USA, they should be able to sit down in the streets of their home countries and refuse to go to work.No country can survive a determined sit-down strike, as the East Germans proved.
The Pupusa Posse? Burrito Brigade? Legion of Salsa? Because Los Angeles, Phoenix and Houston don’t already have enough food trucks, food carts and tiny restaurants.
“When I get there I will open a pupusa stall”
Not without filling out 800 forms and getting 1000 approvals.
“hope”, hope to murder American Citizens.
Do you have any idea what it costs to pay, feed, clothe, shelter and take care of a small battalion, which is basically what 800 troops signifies? Privates don’t make $100 a month anymore.
They are not interested in fixing their countries. They are interested in sponging off a populace that works.
Thank you, MSM sh*tbags.
I also call them Jerry’s Kids because they usually end up in my state. :(
Bullshit. Our last trailer park in Denton, Texas had people selling tamales, burritos, roasted corn, ice cream and much more and they had no licenses or forms. For some reason the bureaucracy in this country turns a blind eye to Hispanic immigrant enterprises.
Our own government, by not doing anything about this, is soft killing its own citizens.
Silly rabbit! Only American citizens have to do that!
Weekly payments of $12 to a Honduran gang is nothing compared to the extortion wrought by American regulation and bureaucracy.
Weary from what? they are being transported from propaganda photo op to propaganda photo op.
Caravan of Rape for the women and children.
