BITTER ROAD: Migrants in Tijuana Regret the Caravan: ‘I’m Done With the United States’
The Daily Beast ^ | November 28, 2018 | David Agren

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.”

Voluntary repatriation with buses headed south in time for Christmas in Honduras is optimal.

Those who claim to be staying in Mexico will likely attempt to sneak into the USA sometime later in 2019.

Illegals have been coached well——having a minor will get them apprehended by Border Patrol and released into the
interior of the United States.....free and clear and ready to ride the gravy train.

REALITY CHECK This is in the Clinton-era Flores Settlement decree and has created a massive loophole allowing C/A family units to illegally cross the border and enter the US after a short detention.

This loophole is well-known among economic illegals......
(A) he law is a magnet for family units, and,
(B) lets smugglers use children to gain access to the US by posing a family unit.

One common fraud is illegals claiming children they do not have (borrowing other’s kids even) to increase their EITC checks.

Well, he got his answers. Sorry if it’s not the answers he was looking for. Get in line and come in the RIGHT way.

If he thinks it’s cold in Mexico, he doesn’t want to come even further north to the U.S. He’d be in for a big surprise.

There are very few, who are turning back. The vast majority are staying and still intend to get into the US.

Fox News just talk to one, who has no intention of going back.

I'm sure there will be a subset for whom this is the plan. They will play the long game.

BUILD THE WALL!

DEPORT THEM ALL!

We still have 30 million illegal aliens on this side of the border.

And oh, how I love these words:

But the U.S. border has proved impossible so far for the more than 7,000 migrants.
