LOS ANGELES/MONTERREY, Mexico - After spending eight months of 2019 in a makeshift tent camp in the dangerous Mexican border city of Matamoros, Israel Martinez abandoned his hopes of seeking asylum in the United States.
Beaten down by the cold and unsanitary conditions in the encampment, Martinez accepted a free flight back to his homeland of Honduras in January 2020.

A person who is demented and lacking in effective faculties is a severe security hazard. Watching Biden cough his lungs up tells me something isn’t right with him.
Yeah, well, remember they have FBI undercover to prevent that.
We’ll see. I would bet the FBI will have a different class of people to deal with this time than what they’ve been used to. Who knows?
70K detained at border in November. Mostly ‘unaccompanied minors’ who will be voting age by the next national election.
I think turnabout is fair play and we should start voting in Mexican, Guatamalan, Honduran and Salvadorian elections
They are Illegal Invaders, not Illegal Immigrants.
Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.
