What changed everything was a TV report on HCH — a Honduran news channel.
A woman reportedly part of the caravan told TV anchors of Fuentes’ efforts, and she mentioned “assistance.” The anchors then supposedly said Fuentes would pay migrants’ food and transportation costs — which he denied in an interview.
Still, thousands took a chance, since a human-smuggling “coyote” charges upwards of $7,000 to take someone across the US border.
Remember Noriega in Panama? This guy should get the same treatment.
How much does each participant get paid to march?

I watch HCH most every day. They have a segment whereby people can call in and say whatever is on their mind. HCH does not censor nor approve the remarks. HCH is an acronym for “Hable Como Habla”, loosely, speak what’s on your mind. Some are trying to blame HCH for organizing this, but they merely give people a forum.
Fuentes is the visible guy, the guy out front, in the end the hero or the fall guy. Meanwhile, Zelaya and Nasralla hide in the shadows whipping their Libre lackeys to more violence and lunacy. Make no mistake, behind the scenes this isn’t about immigration, it’s about doing as much harm to the administration of Juan Orlando Hernandez as possible, with the side benefit of harming Trump whom Zelaya sees as Hernandez’ bosom buddy. That’s one reason the Democrats are all warm and fuzzy over this. And not all the liberal nuts are in the US. Just last night a hard-core Libre family member on FaceBook berated me for supporting Hernandez. Probably 30% of the population here would like nothing better than to turn the country completely over to Venezuela. Many think the more that leave for the US, the easier it will be for Libres to seize power, peacefully or otherwise.
The “passage” to the US varies by coyote. I’ve seen offers here of as little as L35,000, about $1450, still a lot of money here.
