“Jose Porfirio Orellana, a 47-year-old acorn and bean farmer from Yoro province in Honduras, said he hopes to reach the United States due to woeful economic conditions in his country. ‘There is nothing there,’ Orellana said.”
Exactly. These people are not political refugees they are economic migrants. As such they need to apply for a visa through the usual channels, not break across the border.
The timing could not be better with US elections coming up and a new presidente in Mexico who is trying to curry favor with Trump.
Right-—economics,or crime, are NOT reasons for giving refugee status.

Oh come on! We NEED more acorn and bean farmers!
(Yeah it’s sarcasm)
