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)

As Rush Limbaugh has often said, "words mean things." The left understands this concept very well. "Caravan of Hope" is the latest example.
She would be no better off in the US. The gangs that terrorized her in Honduras are traveling with her in the “caravan.”
Bob Hope?
Jeb Bush’s Love Train.
You are of course right, the instant any health inspector tries to write up a Mexican street vendor the La Raza hordes will descend on them screaming "Racist!".
It has now been codified in California by the Mexican queer, Ricardo Lara. He pushed through a law that forbids municipalities from prohibiting "sidewalk vending".
So the deconstruction of civil society in America by the Mexicans is accelerating. The stone age third worlders can't think of anything else to do except what they did back in 14th century Sinaloa and they now have their grimy buddies in our state legislature enabling them.
