La Bestia will no longer transport Central American Migrants -

I want to know what arrangements were made between obowelmovement and mexico. This is total BS.

I worked there and watched the Mexico military shut every road down. It was an iron fist with stiff penalties. This was arranged and paid for. I have driven from Chiapas to the US and back. I hired private security (Federales) for my company to escort oil field equipment with the blessings of Pemex and the Federales . You have no idea how treacherous it is and how long it takes. Total BS!

Be advised, author Cal Trimble thinks a RR car is called a “wagon.”

A lot of money will be ‘hidden’ from daylight

watch for an uptick in this program:

and this:

and on spending such as this:

but more importantly, on the specific organizations involved in implementing this and that, such as this one:
http://www.fordfoundation.org/issues/human-rights/protecting-immigrant-and-migrant-rights/for-grant-seekers

and the assorted Mexican-and Central American government sponsored racist groups, such as LaRaza and Mencha, who accept the funds to administer this and that

They’ve been led to believe Obama will buy their train tickets, instead. It’s the humane thing to do.

Now Houston Metrorail will have to pick up the slack.

The Houston Comical would be for expanding it down to Central America. Commuter line for low income workers into downtown.

They must have switched to cruise ships. Like the Love Boat
