Migrant caravan to rest following report of abducted child

TAPANATEPEC, MEXICO - Coordinators of a caravan of several thousand Central American migrants moving through southern Mexico urged its members to rest Sunday. At first the migrants vowed to press on anyway but later changed their minds amid reports that a child had been abducted.

The migrants said they would stay and hold a meeting Sunday in Tapanatepec. Late Saturday night, groups of migrants were running through the town's streets saying a migrant's child had been snatched. Something similar led to a panic at an earlier stop, but was not confirmed.

After being delayed for a couple hours when federal police halted their exit from the town of Arriaga Saturday morning, most of the migrants arrived in Tapanatepec in the searing heat. Dozens headed down to the Novillero river below the central square to bathe, wash clothing and cool off. Others lined up at a medical aid station mostly for attention to their battered feet.

"Others lined up at a medical aid station mostly for attention to their battered feet."

Having carried a ruck sack for many years in the military I can tell you there is NO, I say again, NO, short term solution for "battered feet" (I assume this means blisters) except staying off them for several days. I have witnessed many big, strong, ruff n tuff, young men, whimpering along side a trail or road unable to keep up due to "battered feet".

Any extended cross country movement by foot requires good, well broken in, boots or shoes, a change of clean socks every day or two, plenty of foot powder, and lots of training. Feet are more important than a strong back. These caravan people, and I'm sure there are many, will not be able to keep up by foot.

But I forgot, there are trucks, buses, and POVs available for these lame fools.

For any caravan lurkers out there - remember, change your socks everyday and use plenty of medicated foot powder.

They are using a cloward piven tactic, overwhelm the system into collapse.

Exactly.

“Why are they just starting to care about one child now?”

Probably because it’s BACKFIRING on the organizers who thought they would hurt Republicans by having photos of women and children being ‘abused’ by the US at the border.

Instead Trump is taking advantage of this stunt to show that Republicans want SECURE BORDERS, while the Democrats are not even able to tell them to turn back (or at least stay in Mexico).

Two things.

1. The money these invaders were given before they started their trip is running out.

2. Lots of them are physically worn out and demoralized.

3. With poor sanitation, lack of immunizations and crowded conditions, lots of disease and sickness are spreading.
