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.
No.
Go home.

have you ever seen a human head used as a soccer ball?
Lady, your family??? Are 95% of your family young fighting age males? C’mon, tell the truth, the WHOLE truth or you won’t get in... No, you know what? You’re not getting in Because you lied to us. You tried to get us to open the door, to have mercy on you while a legion of criminals were hiding behind you waiting to rush the door. Take a hike.
Wrong door, senora. You should have asked at the first border you crossed. Now go back south until you find someone stupid enough to care about your manufactured drama.

The Aztecs continued this proud tradition of loser‐lose‐all, as many vases and sculptures depict the inevitable decapitation of the losing team. There are even some depictions of ball players playing with the heads of the losers in place of a ball. Whether this actually occurred is up to artistic speculation. The Spanish who observed the game reported horrendous injuries to those who played it — deep bruising requiring lancing, broken bones, and even death when a player was hit in the head or by an unprotected bit by the heavy ball.
Why can’t she come in through a legal port of entry?
There was a day when that might have happened, Señora. But the arrogance you all have shown, the flipped birds, the bad-mouthing of America. You created your own mess. Go home and face it.
I was fortunate to have visited Chitzen Itza years ago when you could still go inside and climb narrow steep stairs to the top and walk back down on the outside. Saw the jaguar. The ball court and wall of skulls was also interesting. Then there is also the movie Apocalypto.. Amazing the astronomical details of the structure built centuries ago.I dd not get to see the equinox which is awesome.
Dear “immigrant mother”: Go home. Go back to your own country. Fight to make it better. Don’t illegally invade ours to make it worse. Get out!
Hey lady, what part of
“We knew you were a snake before we let you in”
don’t you understand???
If these bums put as much work into fixing their own country as the do “migrating” to loot the United States, they would be happy and so would we. Personally, BP and ICE can shoot the invaders and get my support.
Even better - they could go to the American Embassy in their home s-holes and request asylum.
Good post... My answer is what Phil Collins said “I don’t care anymore” ....as in cut them loose and be done with these scammers. You grew up in an effed up Central American nation......Tough luck. We don’t need your labor the robots are coming in.
They walked (or rode) here - they can walk back. If Mexico wants to give them a free bus ticket - fine. We shouldn’t.
The fact that they’re proudly displaying the flags of their oh-so-inhumane home countries makes me discount every single thing they say or do, including begging.
Go away.
Maybe they should have kept their military around.
They can come in handy on occasion. Like when you are being invaded.
Trump should announce, we’ll let them in,however, there will be no increase in govt handouts. In other words all govt programs will be reduced to allow these illegals in.
You can thank the democrats.
