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)

That happens in every American progressive city. It is a feature. They let the gangs control their streets.
boo
effin’
hoo
The gangs are their shock troops against decent Americans leaving their homes with torches and pitchforks in hand to storm their offices.
But where is the horde? Does anyone here know the location of it now?
The caravan of hope?
I don’t even want to think about what I’m thinking about what these invaders deserve.
It’s not an open arms welcome, for sure.
Vomit worthy.
They are not marching, they are riding on buses and trucks.
Fake News, the vast majority of the invaders are young men.
By the way, where is the father of the crying baby? Excuse me ma’am, did you know having babies out of wedlock means you’re going to be poor?
This woman is determined to come to the US because she knows she’ll get all kinds of freebies paid for by American taxpayers.
Stop the invasion! Build the wall!!
Call in the Air Force and troop deployment won’t be necessary.
“When I get there I will open a pupusa stall.”
Weekly payments of $12 to a Honduran gang is nothing compared to the extortion wrought by American regulation and bureaucracy.”

Like the other poster said, they often don’t do it legally, no there are no monies to pay.
And, they also go straight on welfare.
They have the best of both worlds: A small business that isn’t crippled by the government and welfare benefits because there’s no paperwork to prove they’re even working/making any money at all.
Hey at least they ain’t jihadis
That’s all I keep saying here in mexifornia
and paying 1000s in licenses/permits/bribes...
The one of few bleeding heart stories from a woman.
There will always be a bleeding heart story to open the door to what is wrong. That is how the leftist roll.
We aren’t responsible for every sad story in the whole world, neither can we be. They need to find a way to help themselves in their own countries. Maybe if they ask us nice we can find a way to help them.
Return the mob members to their countries
each with a copy of the U.S. Constitution as
instructions of how to make their own
shithole country great.
If she thinks that is robbery, then wait until she comes up against Dem taxation....
Found this on another site: One perceptive columnist at Universal Press Syndicate, Georgie Anne Geyer, predicted this sobering state of affairs in a syndicated column published May 8, 1984:
“The United States has about five years left before the population imbalance in the entire Southwest will be so tilted toward the illegal aliens that there will be no possibility of passing any legislation at all. … Within 20 years, this illegal community will begin organizing politically, demanding rights even as they refuse to become citizens. (Mexicans have the lowest rate of naturalization of any ethnic group; they look at the Southwest as still part of Mexico.) They will be led by self-styled caudillos and gangs. The rule of law will pass with the idea of American citizenship. If the Marxist civil wars in Central America are not contained, we will see a hemorrhage of Central Americans, many of them carrying with them extremist, Marxist and irredentist ideologies.”
I bet they are getting the same pay they were getting the day before deployment with perhaps a hazard duty pay bump (perhaps).
No, it’s a caravan of thugs and terrorists and needs to be stopped.
SNORT.
