HOUSTON, Texas--Thousands of illegal immigrants--most of whom are from Central America--continue to cross the U.S.-Mexico border each day, but there are many who never complete the dangerous journey north because they run out of money. The trip from Central America can be a life-threatening one, but rumors of "amnesty" have only caused more immigrants to make it to the U.S. at any cost.
Zack Taylor, Chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, told Breitbart Texas that smugglers typically charge hopeful foreigners hundreds of dollars to take them from their home countries to the U.S. Often, however, the immigrants run out of money along the way.
The Arizona Republic reported that due to this problem--which, it appears, is becoming increasingly common--migrants are "amassing" at the Rio Grande River's edge, just within sight of the U.S.
14-year-old Brayan Duban Soler Redando of Honduras reportedly ran out of money and couldn't pay a smuggler to take him across the river. Now, he is stuck in a shelter Reynosa, a city plagued with violence and cartels. Such shelters, just outside the U.S., "are packed these days with migrants planning to cross the river and enter the United States illegally," the Arizona Republic reported.
Beds are full and space is tight in Reynosa-based smuggling houses, as an increasing number of immigrants cannot afford to a pay a smuggler across the Rio Grande.
The Obama Administration vehemently insists that violence and poverty in the migrants' home countries is the cause of the border crisis....

Some trickster should paint “Arbeit Macht Frei” on those trains. Although I doubt the travelers would get the irony.
Well said.

Carter was impotent when Fidel Castro sent him as a gift of more than 100,000 Cubans, some of them common criminals taken from Cuban jails and patients that were interned in mental hospitals.
As Spanish philosopher, Jorge Santayana said: Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it, or as another saying affirms, the man is the only animal that trip over the same stone three times.
Obama have broken Carters record as the worst American president in his unrelenting quest to destroy U.S. At the sudden invasion of over 100,000 Mexican and Central Americans, including criminal Maras salvatruchas gang members, and more than half of immigrant wave, children, Obama responded to our southern neighborsextortion awarding their corrupt governments more than $250 million.
Naturally they will take the ransom money and then send another wave of illegal immigrants to add to the more than 20 million (real numbers) already living in U.S. making a mockery of our laws and sovereignty.
For Obama the Constitution is an obsolete piece of wet paper, for him all is politics, the end justifies the means, those illegal immigrants are the core and future of the Democratic party, regardless that it is at the cost of making of U.S. another third world banana republic.
Probably. Money sent back to mexico by their citizens in the US is probably the country’s largest source of income. Add to that the drug trade...
Bttt
Ask yourself why thousands of people from Central America can make that long journey across Mexico but few of them try the short journey into the three relatively functional Central American countries-- Belize, Costa Rica and Panama.
The answer is simple: none of these three have open border policies.
Just as the education efforts are for educators, the UN is for diplomats.
