President Trump has warned Mexico to stop the crowd or they&#8217;ll suffer in the NAFTA renegotiation. Instead, the Mexicans seem to be helping the crowd;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Local officials have offered lodging in town squares and empty warehouses or arranged transport for the migrants, participants in a journey organized by the immigrant advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras. The officials have conscripted buses, cars, ambulances and police trucks. But the help may not be entirely altruistic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe authorities want us to leave their cities,\u201d said Rodrigo Abeja, an organizer from Pueblo Sin Fronteras. \u201cThey\u2019ve been helping us, in part to speed the massive group out of their jurisdictions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some of the ambitious marchers plan to apply for asylum in the US while others plan to sneak across the border.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Typically, Central Americans have not fared well with U.S. asylum claims, particularly those from Honduras. A Reuters analysis of immigration court data found that Hondurans who come before the court receive deportation orders in more than 83 percent of cases, the highest rate of any nationality. Hondurans also face deportation in Mexico, where immigration data shows that 5,000 Hondurans were deported from Mexico in February alone, the highest number since May 2016.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, they should stay in their country and work to fix the problems instead of just running away compounding the problems. <\/p>\n<p>One of the immigrants, Maria Elena Colindres Ortega, is a former member of the Honduran legislature. She left when the government wouldn&#8217;t pay her, so she left her kids behind and joined the caravan. I guess her kids have their own way of providing for themselves without her. Or she doesn&#8217;t care about her kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Reuters a swarm of more than 1200 Central American immigrants are headed to the &hellip; <a title=\"More than a thousand potential illegal immigrants swarm towards US frontier\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=78673\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">More than a thousand potential illegal immigrants swarm towards US frontier<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-illegal-immigrants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=78673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78673\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=78673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=78673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=78673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
