Kids of all ages among migrants in caravan across Mexico
The Associated Press ^ | October 28, 2021 | By EDGAR H. CLEMENTE

ESCUINTLA, Mexico (AP) — When a few thousand migrants resumed their walk north through southern Mexico Thursday, the chatter of stroller wheels on pavement accompanied the slap of feet. Still-sleeping children slumped as the caravan lurched forward. Others, still drowsy, perched on parents’ shoulders.

José Avila Lagos and his wife Yolanda Melgares bought two strollers in Tapachula before setting out because they’re travelling with their three children ages 6, 9 and 15.

“(The kids) get hot and tired from walking and you have to bring them in this, Avila said, indicating to the stroller. “You have to spend.”

The truck driver said they left Honduras because of the poverty. The pandemic had made it harder for him to find work.

Ingrid, a Guatemalan woman who declined to give her last name due to safety concerns, said that she was travelling with her whole family — four adults, eight children and a 5-month-old baby.

“We just can’t cope, with all the kids. We’re from Guatemala, we’ve already been stuck in Tapachula for two months,” she said.

Frustration has been growing for months among the thousands of migrants waiting in Tapachula near the Guatemala border. Mexico’s strategy had been to contain migrants in the south, far from the U.S. border while allowing them to apply for asylum in Mexico.

“We need them to give us free passage; we ask the president to have a heart,” Ingrid said while the family rested in the shade of a tree Thursday.

Tops of railroad cars photos....

This Train by Woody Guthrie

This train is bound for glory, this train.
This train is bound for glory,
Don’t carry nothing but the righteous and the holy.
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don’t carry no gamblers, this train;
This train don’t carry no gamblers,
Liars, thieves, nor big shot ramblers,
This train is bound for glory, this train.

This train don’t carry no liars, this train;
This train don’t carry no liars, this train;
This train don’t carry no liars,
She’s streamlined and a midnight flyer,
This train don’t carry no liars, this train.

/////////
Now as for freeloaders seeking welfare and free housing in the US at taxpayer expense? Yeah, we got loads of the creeps on this train.

Why would they pass up the chance to get $450K per person?

Well, at least this horrible year has let us know in no uncertain terms that what was formerly “our military” has completely abandoned the “enemies domestic” part of its pledge. Because if these late-’60s and ‘70s hippies and “activists” now grown old and “governing” the country aren’t “enemies domestic,” I don’t know who would be.

Must be fun for the guys, you know, there at the Pentagon. Just sitting around quaffing beers and maybe watching a little football while the country they are sworn to protect is rapidly destroyed by the people who always hated them.

Note that tho the title says “Kids of all ages...” the only picture in the AP article is 30-50 men of all ages. Hmm

Also found this comment ironic:

Ingrid, a Guatemalan woman who declined to give her last name due to safety concerns, said that she was travelling with her whole family — four adults, eight children and a 5-month-old baby.

“We just can’t cope, with all the kids....

Lots of unknown and undocumented kids on the way?

I'd bet the child sex trade is saying, "Oh, Goody!".
