Caravan Riders Refuse Mexico's Generous Offer – And They're STILL Heading to the U.S.

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.

Well, then they are disqualified for asylum in the USA, no?

Throwing in a Domino’s Pizza coupon book and their choice of a free bowling ball wash or a pound of beef jerky didn’t entice them.

Back to the Quality Inn and IHOP for the migrant invaders. Keep on truckin’. Are the Soros Escalade commuter limos here yet? Their feet are sore.

There goes their asylum claim, which is the only thing they could have claimed to demand entry to the US under US law, now that they have turned down asylum / documentation / jobs in Mexico.

That's right ..... because it is not a caravan but an invasion.

This morning's diversionary tactic in Pittsburgh almost took the invasion off the screen.

Now, I'm either a stone cold basket case, or Pittsburgh WAS a diversion.

IF a diversion, (and we may never know), "they" are pretty close to being their MOST dangerous.

America and her citizens mean absolutely NOTHING to evil

That’s what they just did to themselves.

Trump doesn’t even have to suspend asylum. They just admitted they aren’t refugees, but simple miscreants, scofflaws and invaders.

But we knew that.

Central casting had a labor union dispute.
They are going to pay more per hour for the phony women and children combos and some should arrive from Hollywood tomorrow by charter jets.
The male actors were told to look emaciated and frightened until then.

Racist. What, just because Mexico is full of brown people as opposed to the US?

Wouldn’t have to shoot many for the others to get the message. One A-10 ought to do it with one pass. Unfortunately, what will happen is they will just walk on in, as I doubt anyone has the nerve to do what they have to do: DEFEND our border. These are invaders just as if they were wearing uniforms and carrying weapons.

“who applied and qualified”

The keyword here is QUALIFIED.

Mexico will not help those with a criminal background at all. They will send them straight to prison and then home. This indicates most of these may have a serious record and they know the US is safer than Mexico for them as criminals.

Turn them all away. Offer none of them entry. Don’t even listen to whatever claims of hardships they may make and they can’t claim to be torture victims to game our laws.

Let them walk / ride a lot farther and then be turned away.

They want D J Trump to be their president. They know that the Socialist Andres Manuel López Obrador starts his turn in a few days. They want the capitalist republic. Maybe they should leave those other flags behind!

They are already in a different country, so, yeah, problem solved.

They don’t have to flee Mexico. Mexico and the Mexicans aren’t mistreating them.

Yes, and if we have to shoot them to stop them, so be it. We had no problem under Clinton to shooting innocent Serb women and children who never tried to invade us and actually used to be pro US.

If they aren't stopped, only more and more of them will invade this country and spread their hatred of us.

All that is needed are two F16s flying irregular patterns at irregular times, at Mach 2, at 100 ft. Frazzled nerves. Broke ear drums. Yes sir, that will break up the caravan. Plus a C130 spraying a water mist over them.
