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.
Yes, alas.
...if people have to put bars on their own windows to keep you out...even on your upper stories.
Under international law, yes.
We owe them nothing, they do not belong here, and they need to be prevented from crossing our Border.
If we do not control our own border, we have no Country.
And this IS OUR Country.
I’m happy it put a smile on your face.
Frasier has and still does put a smile on my face.
I like to share.
but you’ll never see me.
LOL!
YOU MIGHT BE AN INVADER IF...
The only English you’ve been taught is “Trump is the anti-Christ” and “I WOULD LIKE TWO QUICK PICKS” please.”
This is the truth.
Military-aged men ages 16 to 50 is what I see in most photos.
Beggars can’t be choosers. They may wish they had taken the offer when they find they can’t enter the US illegally.
No, it’s because this is a Marxist staged event and has nothing to do with reality or actual benefit to the poor dumb pawns carrying it out.
Can somebody please convince me that people aren’t going to be able to slide between the slats in the wall?
“...slide between the slats in the wall...”
-
What?
You think nobody thought of that?
Over course people have thought of it. I still haven’t gotten a satisfactory answer. And your response keeps the streak alive.
They returned on the buses.kids got sick or both.
Guys do not have the responsibility of the kids so the going is considerably easier for them.
Additioally to endure this trek you can bet there’s drugs being peddled among them to keep going, eve those who weren’t using before this trek. So by the time they get further north they’ll also have addiction issues.
Yes refusing Asylum would disqualify them here......but do you really think these people have concerns about legalities?
Of course not....they ‘think’ if they make it to the US Trumps just going to let them in because all those before are already in.
One guy said they know what Trump is saying that they won’t be let in. But he didn’t care because all they want is work and thinks Trump will be kind give it to them anyway if they ask.
Obvious their thinking is somewhat delusional....but their mindset is if they get here someone will let them in eventually.
The plan for others is to break off from the caravan along the way into smaller groups, several times, before they reach the border and then sneak in.
Yes and they admit they’ve bee told and know this. But they’re banking on getting in anyway since the others ahead of them have.
Asylum seekers - real ones - stop at the first friendly port of call and are happy to do so.
These people are not doing that and therefore are not asylum seekers. Trump is 100% right to deny them entry.
Call it what it is, a motorized infantry division.
Nothing moves through Mexico are crosses the border with out cartel permission. This includes the Mexico/US border. No one crosses with out their permission which is $ are carrying drugs. When the police stand by and let the mob continue it is with the cartel permission only. What proof do I have, they are alive
>>a motorized infantry division.
