MIGRANT CARAVAN OVER? Asylum Hopes Fade While Thousands Risk Getting Sick
Newsweak ^ | November 29, 2018 | Robert Valencia

After months of an arduous journey across Mexico, some migrants are giving up on seeking asylum in the U.S., while several of them are falling ill in filthy, overcrowded shelters.

... in Tijuana, a sports complex... doesn't have the capacity to host 6,000 ... who now live under poor sanitary conditions... sleep on the floor using cardboard boxes....setting up tents ... makeshift shelters, but the overcrowding has led to respiratory illnesses, lice and chicken pox...

... the migrants’ hopes of seeking refuge on U.S. soil is fading, and at least 350 asked authorities to help them return [home.]

[A Guatemalan said:] he wont stay in Mexico because, “You don’t earn well here.”

Enrique Peña Nieto launched “This Is Your House,” program that offered temporary employment, education and health care in the southern Mexican states... 3,000 migrants applied to remain in Mexico, whereas... [the rest proceeded to the US border.]

At least 2,010 migrants had signed up for a “voluntary return” after they crossed the Guatemala-Mexico border on October 19, ... The reason behind their decision includes their having walked long distances in sweltering heat and other rough conditions.

.On Thursday, over 600 people had solicited permits to work in Mexico, the Foreign Ministry said.

The arrival of Central Americans at the U.S.-Mexico border have spurred heated encounters with Tijuana residents. Last week, Mexican soccer-jersey-clad protesters held signs reading “No illegals” and “No to the invasion,” and some of them sang the national anthem and chanted “Mexico first.” Juan Manuel Gastelúm, mayor of Tijuana, donned a cap that read “Make Tijuana Great Again,” an apparent nod to President Donald Trump’s Draconian stance over the migrant caravan and immigration in general....[snip]

That little exercise cost Mexico a nice little chunk money.

And Mexico is adamant that anyone coming over their border get proper papers and pay fees. Plus LEAVE MEXICO ON TIME.

Someone decided to let the caravan into Mexico for the cameras. I wonder how far up the chain it was.

They all are well dress in sports attire and carry water bottles.

They are too fat to have been walking for a month, or even a week.

It’s the caravan of sham.

The UN/Soros invasion was planning to bring all those diseases to the American people!! Anyone hear any comments from Marxist RATs about the diseases being brought into our country? Perhaps any of the Marxist Liberal politicians or any in the MSM would like to be in a room with these people and their diseases being exposed to them. Anyone think Pelosi, Madd Maxine, Schumer, DeBlasio, Feinstein, Jerry Brown, Booker, Harris, Cummings, et al. would like any of their diseases like TB?

"I think really SorozNazi should be made to pay!"

It is former Honduran congressman Bartolo Fuentes of the left-wing Libre Party who has admitted to organizing this caravan. Libre is the party of former president Manuel Zelaya, an ally of Venezuela and Cuba.

Much of the financing goes to the Venezuelan Chavisto oil money with ties to President Maduro and the Cuban Govenment. The front group to Chavisto is Pueblo Sin Fronteras. It was organized as a project of La Familia Latina Unida, a Chicago, Illinois-based 501(c)(4) illegal immigration advocacy organization formed in 2001 by Elvira Arellano. Pueblo Sin Fronteras is a member of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, a left-wing coalition of immigrant activist groups.

One activist from Pueblo Sin Fronteras, organized the caravan's crossing from the Guatemalan border into Mexico illegally on October 19. His name is identified as Denis Omar Contreras (sometimes spelled “Contera” or “Contrera.” A second Pueblo Sin Fronteras activist, Rodrigo Abeja, was later identified as “traveling with the migrants.” Abeja was noted as being “one of the caravan’s leaders.”

We must not forget George Soros. Several major ultra-liberal foundations and corporations have supported the asylum-seeking migrant caravans, and Soros' funding has been tied to several groups (Pueblo Sin Fronteras) that have spearheaded the "refugee" invasion coalition – also dubbed "the Soros Express."

The above describes a violent, revolutionary, marxist assault on America. That the American Democrats sit back without resistance to this assault, should permanently take them out of power. In fact, we should be suing them for their part.

This reminds me of “The Grapes of Wrath,” where the people were lied to and started out with so much hope. Then they arrived at the truth.

Sickening isn’t it? These illegals get preferred treatment when wanting to go to university or some college. They get a break (as in no tuition) where Americans have to pay.

This is just like the ending to H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. In the end, it wasn't a big war machine or brute force that did the aliens (literally!) in; it was the little things---microbes.

How perfect; let the commies/Soros/libtards blame microbes for the alien invading force getting sick. They obviously brought those bugs with them. Think about how many AMERICANS would have gotten sick from contact with these filthy people. And reflect on what a good thing it was that Trump stayed firm in keeping this unwanted unneeded greedy garbage out.

The caravaners were just pawns used by Soros funded leftist groups. They were promised an easy entry to the US and were hauled in trucks and buses, given food, water and clothing and organizers were paid. The plan was to storm the US border, embarrass Trump and possibly sway the election. Now that it is clear Trump will not cave and storming the border would bring a political backlash for Democrats, these caravaners are being abandoned as they are no longer useful to Soros and the left.

I think you’re right and I feel badly for them. Having said that it Sucks to be Them.

They need to give up and get out! They need to understand they are NOT wanted here. Maybe, if they go home, maybe, we will help them. For now, they need to GTFO!

>>the devils that set up this travesty should be shot, then hanged.<<

If only the Republican pus*ies on Capitol Hill had the courage to advocate the same thing and give President Trump the funds for the wall such invasions would cease immediately.
