Why caravan migrants wave Honduran flags and burn tires in front of U.S. embassy
American Thinker ^ | October 21, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Waving the flag of the country they're desperate not to be sent back to, and burning tires in front of the Tegucigalpa-located embassy of the nation they're supposedly desperate to live in, the Honduras caravan migrants, their organizers and their supporters don't exactly come off as big fans of the United States.

Here's how the Daily Mail captioned one of its photos, seen here:

In Tegucigalpa, Honduras protesters burn tires at the US embassy during a march in support of the caravan of migrants on Friday. Hundreds of people marched to express their solidarity with the caravan of migrants trying to reach the United States

And as it happened, it was led by the Guatemala-arrested-and-deported organizer of the caravan, the far-left Honduran politician and supporter of Hugo Chavez and Mel "cowboy hat" Zelaya, Bartolo Fuentes.

Nor does the caraan come across as entirely free of thugs intent on harming others: According to the Daily Mail:

Late Friday night, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said in an address to the nation that a large group of migrants had 'tried to enter Mexican territory irregularly, attacking and even hurting some elements of the Federal Police.'

'Mexico does not permit and will not permit entry into its territory in an irregular fashion, much less in a violent fashion,' he said.

The Mail also has some vivid pictures of Honduran-flag waving would-be migrants burning flags in front of the U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa.

Peel that onion a little bit - there’s probably a Soros, Obama or Clinton in the mix somehow.

We need a Berlin Airlift operation (in reverse) to take thee folks from Northern Mexico back to whatever countries they are citizens of. Set up a massive encampment in Northern Mexico and systematically process these folk and get them home. Do not let them set one foot in the US, or immigration activists will obtain injunctions which will mean, practically, they never leave. Give them food, shelter and health care for several days, clean laundry and $25 each and fly them back.

You can’t shake a Pink Bunkadoo tree without some of its noxious fruit dropping from its foul smelling 600’ high bright red canopy.

IIRC, they arrested a leader/organizer and he is tied to a Soros organization.

I can be in El Paso in under 10 hrs. Maybe it is time we close the border. If the government won’t protect us as they are elected to do, then it is up to us to fire them and do what is necessary.

Fake.

And it’s rude to post this on 3 different threads with no source and not replying to anyone’s question about it.
