A Huge Caravan of Central Americans Is Headed for the US, and No One in Mexico Dares to Stop Them
31st March 2018
Remember seeing this on the evening news? No? I wonder why.
For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.
Organized by a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, the caravan is intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but gangs and cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants.
Organizers like Rodrigo Abeja hope that the sheer size of the crowd will give immigration authorities and criminals pause before trying to stop them.
Time to break out your copy of Jean Raspail’s Camp of the Saints to find out what happens next.
Perhaps they could be sent to California to replace all of the Californians who are moving to Texas.
It’s a thought.
