A caravan of Central American migrants attempting to reach the U.S. border took a rest break on Sunday, stopping in Tapanatepec, Mexico.<\/p>\n

Tepanatepec, in Oxaca, is here:\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/migrant-caravan-stops-in-mexico-same-day-mattis-says-us-military-is-deploying-resources-to-border<\/a><\/p>\n

The news came the same day that Defense Secretary Jim Mattis announced that the military has already begun delivering countermeasures to the southern border.<\/p>\n

The caravan, which has included as many as 7,200 people<\/u> and is currently approximately 1,000 miles from the closest border crossing with the U.S., has become a major issue with less than two weeks before the Nov. 6 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Note that number: up to 7,200 people, not the 17,000s that were indicated elsewhere. This need to exaggerate is one of the worst characteristics of the lefterd media\u2019s bad reporting.<\/p>\n

The trekkers are doing about 30 miles a day now, and Hurricane Willa was threatening to exploit their difficulties by making landfall, but dwindled to a moisture source for the next USA Nor’easter.<\/p>\n

Check Accuweather or the National Weather Service for updates on Pacific storms off the southwestern shores.<\/p>\n

Per the article: The Mexican government says more than 1,700 people in the caravan have applied for asylum and that other people have gone home,\u00a0Reuters\u00a0reported on Saturday. Honduras, according to the report, says that 4,500 Honduran citizens trying to leave have recently come back to the Central American country. In addition, Reuters reports that the government of Mexico has offered jobs to some of these people but that has been turned down. https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-immigration-caravan\/central-american-caravan-moves-on-in-spite-of-mexico-jobs-offer-idUSKCN1N10Q8<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, so much for the \u201cgood neighbor\u201d thing. They get offers of jobs and say \u2018No\u2019, or they give up and go home, and they will meet with barriers set up by the U.S. military when they get to the US\/Mexico border.<\/p>\n

To summarize it: the various reports of numbers, from 8,000 to 17,000, were incorrect from the get-go. It was about 4,000 at the start, then grew to 10,000 and then drew down to the current 7,200 count. Jobs were offered to them in Mexico and were refused. Some 4,500 Hondurans have given up and gone home to Honduras. And you\u2019ll find in the article that when someone asked the marchers to wait their turn for the sandwiches and water being handed out, those ungrateful twerps chased him and beat him up.<\/p>\n

Nice people. My neighbors don\u2019t act like that. They are civilized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
