Caravan Migrants: ‘What Are We Supposed to Do in Honduras If There’s no Work?’
Breitbart ^ | 10/1823/2018 | John Binder

Posted on 10/23/2018 6:18:01 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

Migrants traveling with the 7,000-strong caravan headed to the U.S.-Mexico border to overwhelm the country’s asylum and immigration system are admitting that they are merely foreign workers looking for jobs. Migrants with the caravan — many of whom are previously deported illegal aliens — recently admitted to the Washington Post in interviews that they are economic migrants, not asylum-seekers.

Evin Mata, a 21-year-old previously deported illegal alien, told the Post that his travels with the caravan to the southern border are about getting a U.S. job, which is not an eligible claim for asylum.

“We are workers,” Mata said. “What are we supposed to do in Honduras if there’s no work?”

Another previously deported illegal alien with the migrant caravan, Job Reyes, told the Post that his looking to get back into the U.S. — like Mata’s — was about securing a job, not asylum.

“I don’t know what they expect about us,” Reyes said. “But basically what we want is to have a better opportunity, to have a job, you know?”

in america the paycheck for an unskilled single mom of 8 does not come from a job. this is not an ‘economic migration’ as jeff flake called it. this is a welfare migration.

I saw a guy in the Caravan via a news clip wearing a scarf over his head and all you could see was his eyes. Trump wasn’t wrong.

At least in El Salvador, La Sombra Negra (The Black Shadow) is quietly assassinating criminals. That has NOT been in the news. La Sombra Negra is neither right nor left, but just people fed up with crime.

That is certainly encouraging to learn. Our admin must know about it and be thinking about quietly supporting its regional expansion.

The trick of course, is that it remains apolitical; we should have learned during the past 60-70 years just how to do that.

They say the problems with the economies down there are primarily crime and corruption.

My brother in law is from Honduras and he reads their on line newspaper daily.

You're right, it's not a govt. caused problem, it's the blood thirsty cartels that have taken over. Drug trafficking, assassinations, kidnappings, protection money demanded from small business owners, you name it, the cartels are doing it.

A few years back his niece's son and his two best friends disappeared, presumed killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My sister and BIL used to vacation there every year, meeting up with what relatives he had left there. They still visit the Bay Islands every year but they won't step foot on the mainland anymore..........That's how dangerous it's become.

And if you visit the country, you are warned to stay off the highways outside of San Pedro and Tegucigalpa at night.......

According to LSM we are at FULL working Capacity now under 4% is considered full work Capacity. Where would they get jobs, unless they TOOK YOURS for less money! Nor do they have the education except the Indians who are coming across with them to do the higher education work. Only thing they are prepared for are low wage jobs like mowing lawns, menial work, can’t speak English to boot.

So they’d be FREELOADERS.

What about all the diseases, bugs, they are carrying? We can’t let that loose in our country to create more chaos. CDC and FDA can’t handle what is here now. Nor DEA the illicit drugs they’ll bring in.

Easy, get their boys Soros, Steyer, and company, and build an industry there. They’ve apparently got lots of potential low cost workers, right?

We need workers! Workers who actually show up and do the job! The building trades need them, reliable workers who actually show up on time, do the work, and return the next day. I can’t speak for the whole country, but if you live in S.FLA, you can’t depend on the local work force. If you have problems after they complete the job, try and get them to come back. You don’t know from day to day if they will even show up to do a job. Its a fact of life here. What ever happened to the American work ethic?

Same reason LSM pushes the SOB stories of Street Junkie OD’s. Supposedly the OD’s are down. While Suicide of Intractable Pain Patients is UP! But NOT REPORTED, Because their scripts have been cut 75% or cut off entirely. Cancer and Palliative Care can’t get Oncologist scripts filled at the big Chain stores like CVS, Walgreen’s or WalMart. Not even when the Oncologist calls them to verify the script. But that gets ignored, even when they are Young Veterans with painful War wounds, committing Suicide in front of VA hospitals. That is glossed over, and deemed mental or PSTD caused. How would you like to go through 2nd and 3rd degree burns over large portions of your arms or legs, debridement with NO PAIN MEDS, that is what is happening.

Part of the big push to legalize MMJ and they just reported car crashes were up in states that went recreational. I want more hard evidence it works on PAIN which to date there isn’t much evidence. PSTD is another story.

The next big headliner will be the Fragile Snowflakes Suicides because CDC took their Panic/Anxiety meds Benzo’s and Xanax away. Or their ADHD meds. Those are next on the list CDC is going after. And Pig Pharma has NO replacement for Pain meds that are not addictive. Docs been switching patients to Lyrica and Neurotin, both horrible drugs never should have been approved. Look up side effects, they come with Suicide warnings. Plus they are just as Addictive.

Go back home and Make Honduras Great Again.

You simply cannot have 80 percent of the world’s population living in 20 percent of the countries.

Tegucigalpa’s a helluva lot closer than the US-Mexican border!How about a caravan to your capitol to demand some economic reforms that’ll lead to more jobs?
