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]

These people are for the most part ignorant. They have been recruited as gullible fools and have been used by their handlers.

No sympathy for that $hithole, but Mexico should not arrange rides home for them. It should make them walk every mile to teach them never to do such a boneheaded thing again and to tell all their boneheaded friends back home the same thing.

If Trump remains firm, perhaps future invasions will be deterred. If not, they will come in waves. Like World War Z.

All the men, the fat women, and the fat kids over 12 have to march back. The rest of the kids and the sickly coughing people can ride the bus.

i was in tijuana yesterday. i offered a migrant some money for a photo. i debated exactly how much to offer but settled on an amount that no truly destitute person could afford to refuse. heck if someone offered me that amount of money for a photo, i would agree to the offer. she turned it down. no one that i saw seemed to lack basic food or clothing or shoes or shelter. things are not what they seem and a lot of reporting (i saw some in the making) and some of the mexican official story is fake.

Just like Obama did with Ebola to burden our system and infect us.

Just remember. They ARE NOT required to have a blue slip to put their kids in schools!

This p*ssed me off to no end when enrolling my kids in school. I read the fine print.

But when my husband applied for a green card...he was required to have blood tests and a chest x-ray. We payed through the nose for those.
