Why is not the father supporting her and her two children? If she is a “single” mom, does that mean that she had two children without getting married? I see a problem here.

Not an iPhone - note the oblong button at the bottom of the screen - all of apple’s are round - likely an Android - still not cheap, nor are the contracts that go with it.

In her defense - I know a woman here in the US who had no job, no work for over a year and was basically destitute. She moved to an area where her former cell company did not cover well. She had a perfectly good iPhone 5, but felt she needed a newer one, so she traded in her phone for a iPhone 6, spending $500 she did not have on a contract.

maybe this woman got it in anticipation of the high paying job she’ll get as soon as she crosses the border ...

And what is her actual plan if they cross the border?

Walk into a business and demand a job?

Or go on welfare and demand freebies?

Who’s paying this cell phone bill?

How do the media manage to find the few females in the ‘caravan’ when by every picture I’ve see it appears to be 95% military-aged men?

This woman hasn’t been properly trained to speak to the media, so I’m surprised it appeared on Yahoo. In order to be a refugee, or to seek asylum, a person has to be in some sort of a violent area such as a war. Migrants, or workers, can’t just cross whenever they want legally. That’s why the media has been trying to change the terminology from migrant to refugee.

Exactly. She doesn't look like she's skipping meals to feed her kids. She's wearing makeup and a new top - looks newer than any of my clothes. She's clean/neat, apparently not suffering on this trek to invade. She's got a reasonably modern cell phone. How much you want to bet she's got pretty good walking/hiking shoes or boots? (hiking in poor footwear is miserable)

I'm not buying it. She's obviously got family help at home. When times are tough, you suck it up and get through it, you don't pull up stakes and take off. I've gotten set back financially from every single move I've ever made. I hate relocating.

None of these filth should be admitted to these United States. They’re all invaders bent on our destruction.

If she were hiking, she wouldn’t be fat and her skin would be a lot darker. Nothing but a bunch of lying parasites.

Because “after-birth” abortion is illegal in Mejico?

She can come to the US, live off welfare, work when she wants to send a few dollars back to her kids and make more babies here. Just what our country needs

Anyone attempting to break into our county should be put on a list... A list of those people who will NEVER be accepted as citizens of our country.
