Struggling Venezuelans put faith in latest Mexico migrant caravan

VILLA COMALTITLAN, Mexico (Reuters) - Hundreds of Venezuelans are in a migrant caravan that departed this week from Mexico's southern border with Guatemala, according to organizers, just as Mexico is mulling tighter restrictions on their access to the country.

Reuters spoke with a dozen Venezuelans who said they had left in the caravan of around 3,000 people from the city of Tapachula on Thursday after fleeing poverty and hardship in their homeland, where elections are due this weekend.

"I don't want to stay in Mexico, we want to go to the United States, we just want them to let us pass," said Daysi, a 63-year-old Venezuelan from the city of Maracaibo who joined the caravan with six relatives, including two of her children.

"Nobody leaves their country because they want to, but there are days when you eat once, others not even that, there's no medicine, there's nothing, we're dying."

The government's National Migration Institute, which has tried to break up caravans, could not say how many Venezuelans were in the group, which also featured Central Americans.

The number of Venezuelans crossing Mexico has leapt in 2021, and Reuters last week reported the government is considering setting stricter entry requirements to stem the flow.

Socialist utopia.

Listen.

They did not walk from Venezuela.

There is no walking into Panama, much less through it. An unbelievably perilous, well nigh unconquered, and, for all practical purposes, impenetrable nearly 100 mile thick jungle prevents this.

What a bloody setup! Catholic Charities must be involved, including the initial seaborne ferry service from South America.

the question that should be asked is, what skills do you have, do you understand all property in the US is already owned so there’s no just claiming a space, and what do you think will happen once you get to the US and find you can’t work ?

They’re probably being told they’ll be handed a check signed by Biden for $450,000 as soon as they step over the border.

Which may happen at this rate.

“what do you think will happen once you get to the US and find you can’t work ?”

They are not planning on working. They want the US government to give them freebies while complaining they are oppressed.

I hear there’s lots of vacant housing at the former oil patch communities that have been shut down. Skills? Using just the right phrases when talking to social workers. Result? Plane fare, cards loaded with money, housing at your destination, a voter registration card, and an ObamaPhone with critical reminder apps. Easy-Peasy.
