Along A Dark Mexican Beach, Caravan Members Play Hide-And-Seek With The US Border Patrol

Unwilling to wait weeks in Mexico to press their asylum claims, a group of 30 caravan members, with a BuzzFeed News reporter in tow, search for a way to skirt the border barriers.

Javier Piñeda and his sleeping 10-year-old son huddled in the dirt with a group of Central Americans from the caravan, who were eyeing their latest obstacle: the US border fence and the agents who patrol it.

Piñeda was one of about 30 people who'd walked two hours to get here. They'd been kicked out of the sports complex where they'd been housed since arriving in Tijuana about two weeks ago, but instead of moving to the new shelter authorities had set up on the outskirts of town, Piñeda and the others had decided they'd try crossing the border along the beaches, where Tijuana meets the Pacific Ocean. Some carried only the clothes on their backs, but one man had wrapped his cellphone in a plastic bag in case they were forced to swim. Others had left their clothes behind with friends in case they couldn't make it into the US and returned.

They had no choice, Piñeda said. Piñeda believes he has a good asylum claim, but can’t afford to wait months for US border authorities to give him the chance to ask for refuge. The 32-year-old has four kids, including a baby who was a month old when he left home in mid-October, and a wife back home in Honduras who depend on him to make enough money for them to eat. He didn't believe that he could support his family on what he might make in Mexico in the months he was likely to have to wait.

This is not an asylum claim. Claim denied, you morons at Buzzfeed.

“and a recent Department of Homeland Security inspector general’s report found that the practice, forcing hundreds of people to wait weeks just to apply, pushes asylum-seekers to cross into the US illegally, instead of going through official ports of entry.”

Grade “A” BS. Since when did illegals stop just waltzing across the border, surrender to Border Patrol and get released on the promise they would show up for a court date and then disappear?

IF you cannot afford to feed yourself, don’t get married.

IF you cannot afford to feed yourself AND your wife-—DON’T get married....

IF you cannot afford the above, quit having children....

Thank you, Catholic Church........

Even a coyote won’t have pups when she cannot feed them.

Back when I was in “A” School in San Diego in 1968, we’d go to Imperial Beach to drink beer and smoke pot on weekend nights. Seals used to conduct exercises there and I assume they still do. Good luck wetbacks.

He has no money, but certainly has working reproductive organs. Why the heck should WE support his sorry worthless self AND multiple dependents? Brand them across their faces and air drop them somewhere far, far away.
