Thousands of Central American caravan riders on Friday refused Mexico's offer of providing asylum status to those immigrants who applied and qualified. They vowed to continue their trek north to the United States around dawn on Saturday, NBC News reported.
Under the plan, dubbed Estas en Tu Casa plan (translated to "This is Your Home"), asylum seekers would be given identifying documentation, jobs for adults and school for kids. The only catch was that they would have to stay in Mexico's two southernmost states of Chiapas and Oaxaca.
The caravan riders to decided to turn down Mexico's offer, saying they've trekked too far to stop before reaching the United States.
"Thank you! No, we're heading north!" they shouted as they trekked on, the Associated Press reported.
Our goal is not to remain in Mexico," Honduran Oscar Sosa, 58, said. "Our goal is to make it to the (U.S). We want passage, that's all."
Although Mexico is allowing the caravan to pass through, the government has not provided them with food, water, shelter or bathrooms. Those luxuries are saved for those who decide to turn themselves in.
"Authorities were also cracking down on smaller groups trying to catch up with the main caravan, detaining about 300 Hondurans and Guatemalans as they walked along a highway after crossing the Mexico border illegally, said an official with the national immigration authority," NBC News reported.
The caravan still has a ways to travel before reaching the United States-Mexico border. If they decide to try and enter through McAllen, Texas, they will have a 1,000 mile journey remaining. If they choose San Diego as their point of entry they're looking at another 2,000 miles.
They originate from some of the most violent cities in the world.
Top ten reasons to come to America:
1. The racism
2. The profiling
3. Crazed gunmen in the schools and malls
4. No hablamos Ingles
5. Voting early and often
6. Start a polka band
7. In jail they have cable TV
8. Deal drugs
9. Join gang
10. Get rid of excess kids for fun and profit
Come to America! You’ll hate it.
Has anyone told them that they are not welcomed and will be sent back home?
It all remains to be seen...I don’t think President Trump is going to let this get by him...I don’t know what he has planned to stop this, but I believe he will....
That’s probably the closest to what is going to happen, I believe...
Hell, he ain’t never won with the left....
So, wait....
You’re telling me these people really AREN’T “escaping” their s**thole countries for a better life?
See my shocked face.....
This needs to end yesterday.
Turn off the TV news.
Even the 700-750 knots max airframe-permissible airspeed they are capable of at sea level would be adequate for the job.
I missed that, thank you.
Yep, another deterrent...
It is already the law under 8 U.S. Code
§ 1158(a)(2)(A) that if a foreigner can reach a safe country after leaving their own country where they have a credible fear of persecution, then they cannot qualify for asylum in the United States unless the government determines it to be in the interests of the U.S.A. to grant them asylum
And once in this time they will murder, rape, and destroy our laws. This is an invasion and Trump just doesn't get it. Only 800 military plus the couple thousand already on the border with straws and spit balls. Real stupid. I fought to defend America in the Korean War with damn good weapons. It is time to take things in our hands and restart the Minute Men and armed to the teeth. Government is useless.
“...This is an invasion and Trump just doesn’t get it...”
They aren’t at the border yet and you have no clue as to what President Trump is going to do...
These people have in mind to physically change America.
I don’t think the welfare is part of their desire.
They want to overcome us, as the Muslims did in Europe, and make the United States and Canada a Hispanic continent.
And the organizers are the ones planting these ideas in their heads.
THEY HAVE GOT TO BE STOPPED. I SHALL BE HAPPY TO GO TO THE BORDER MYSELF AND I AM SURE MANY OTHERS AGREE.
I have a good life right now, it wasn’t always that way, but I am willing to actively, physically be one to STOP THEM.
BWAHAHA!!! I JUST got your screen name LOL!
“You might be an invader IF...” jokes welcome here. We need a few laughs to balance the situation..
