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.
This is prime grade A horeshit! We are being propagandized and manipulated to ruin and hell. I want to scream it from the rooftops if it would do any more good that what is being done now. Trump has lost this just like we have lost this fight since the 60s.
The military may as well go home for all the good they are doing. You can’t win this war by fighting by rules of engagement any more than you can win any other war that way.
Yup obviously coached. Wouldn’t be surprised if what she’s really running from are murder charges.
...but but but...that would be the legal way...
I just pushed the FR agree button!
Give them jack shyte and a bus ticket home.
ABOVE all don’t let them onto US soil because then they get a meaningless asylum hearing and are let loose into America. To melt into legal/illegal migrant communities.
All part of the Hispanic-ization and Indian-ization of the United States. Actually most of these Central American invaders are Mayan Indians. From 50% on up to 100%.
Good on ya!
