A mother who said she is fleeing persecution in Nicaragua and hopes to receive political asylum in the United States pleaded with President Trump to “open the doors for us.”
"I would get on my knees and beg,” Idenia Molina Rocha told CBS News in a report published on Saturday.
"Don't send us back," she continued. "We're walking and scared. You say you will militarize the border but I pray to God that with our evidence of persecution you won't send us back. I fear for my family's life. Please Mr. Trump, open the doors for us, I beg you."
Rocha was interviewed by the news agency in Mexico as she and her family travel with more migrants who have fled persecution in their home countries in efforts to make through to the U.S.-Mexico border and eventually the American asylum process.
In footage of the interview, Rocha can be seen holding a newspaper she said shows photos of her family and her home on the front page. Rocha claims she and her family are being persecuted in Nicaragua for supporting those who oppose their president.
Rocha told the publication she and her family fled their home country and went to Guatemala after they began to see “wanted” signs of them being posted up around the time.
Rocha said they began to hear news of a migrant caravan after they made it to southern Mexico.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump insisted that troops will be stationed at the southern border for “as long as necessary” ahead of the arrival of a caravan of Central American asylum-seekers.
He previously threatened to send upwards of 15,000 troops to the border, which would amount to more total service members than the country has stationed in Afghanistan.
Do they promise they will only vote for dems 3 or 4 times each?
Living in Mexico sounds perfect for her.
Looks like they’re reading from the Demonicrat script.
NO....seeking asylum you get to stay in Mexico...that’s the agreement, if you refuse you GO HOME!
GTFO....better yet never let them get a foot onto US soil to file their BS asylum claims. I have nothing aginst this woman but we have been generous enough to the crappy countries in Cenral America.
If she is so scared of going back she can gladly move to Mexico where she will be safe but NAH, she wants to come here because of all the Govt freebies she has been promised
Keep them OUT and give them free bus tickets home.
I wonder who wrote the script for her?
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if President Trump said “OK I will let EVERYONE from the caravan in, as long as they vote Republican” watch how fast the Dems build that wall..would take 3 days tops
This RIGHT
If the illegal is so afraid then take the asylum offered by Mexico
I am sick of these contrived stories
I fear for myself for supporting President Trump. Sometimes you just have to know when to speak up and when not to. Leaving your country is not necessarily the answer.
Technically, Honduras or Costa Rica would’ve been the first border countries she should have applied for asylum.....so its a lie.
Haha. A condition of entry should be a two-year course in American history and civics in a closed boarding school, administered by Hillsdale College. All expenses paid.
As you say, the Dems would be on board for the wall in a blink of an eye.
Go f**k yourself Mama. The only reason why you’re running away from your country is because you voted in a bunch of murdering socialists. Go back to your craphole country. You’re not welcome in mine.
This is all be orchestrated by Barack again.
Nicaragua is bordered by Honduras on the north and Costa Rica on the South. How is Mexico a suitable asylum destination, or further still, the US? Why not Costa Rica... Or even Panams?
Incidentally, I was in Costa Rica briefly about five years ago. They were not sympathetic to border crossers from Nicaragua.
Mexico is not a $hithole. At least, thats what they tell us.
Tired of this bullsh*t...
