Mexican journalist Alex Backman has released a stunning expose on the caravan from Central America. He says the migrants are robbing and stealing in Mexico. They carjack cars containing just one occupant. There are even accounts of rapes. Many of the migrants will not let people film them. If they see someone filming them through a car window, they stop the car and demand the phone. Backman suspects the reason they don’t want to be filmed is because they have criminal histories.
He said the Mexican president hasn’t done anything to stop it. The Mexican government is instead providing them with necessities including medical aid. This despite the fact that 48 percent of Mexicans disapprove of the caravan. Almost 2,700 Central Americans have applied for asylum in Mexico since the caravan started. However, the Mexican government says it does not have the resources to house all the caravan members for six months.
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández told Vice President Mike Pence that “the caravan was organized by leftist organizations.” Left-wing organizations are providing assistance. They include the coalition CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project, which stands for the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, the American Immigration Council, the Refugee and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. At least three of the groups are funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
Of course, exposing this is risky, because the left is fond of denying that Soros funds its ventures, labeling anyone who points out the connection as a conspiracy theorist. Kelly Johnston, a vice president at Campbell Soup, was fired after he tweeted about Soros funding the caravan.
Backman says the rocks being thrown by caravan members are not just little rocks, but large ones that can kill people. Mexican law enforcement vehicles have iron mesh over all of their windows due to the rock throwing. Unfortunately, law enforcement is armed with guns that are little more than paint guns.
The rock throwing escalated in recent days as the caravan reached Tijuana. The migrants are clashing with the locals, who are marching in the streets demanding that they leave public spaces and report to shelters. The locals yell “Go home. We don’t want you here!” Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum referred to the arrivals as “bums.” “Human rights should be reserved for righteous humans,” he said. At least three journalists were injured in fistfights and other violence. Some of the migrants refuse to stay in the shelters, comparing them to jails. According to The New York Times, the caravan “is already threatening a potential crisis for Tijuana and the surrounding state of Baja California.”
Instead of trying to illegally cross the border into California, the caravan members are waiting at the border to apply for asylum. But they don’t qualify for asylum under international law, Backman observes. There’s no war going on in Honduras. At least 1,400 have applied for asylum in the U.S. It will be weeks before their turn to present their case comes. Meanwhile, they are remaining in Tijuana near the border, where locals and churches are providing them with food and clothes.
The U.S. Border Patrol is out in force along the Tijuana-California border. American workers rushed to complete the border wall there. President Trump is sending the military to the border merely as assistance to the National Guard — he’s not militarizing the border. But the Mexican media is warning that Trump is going to use force on the border. They are also falsely attempting to portray the caravan as primarily women and children.
President Trump tweeted about the caravan, “Isn’t it ironic that large caravans of people are marching to our border wanting U.S.A. asylum because they are fearful of being in their country – yet they are proudly waving their country’s flag,” he wrote. “Can this be possible? Yes, because it is all a BIG CON, and the American taxpayer is paying for it.” Trump refers to the caravan as “an invasion.”
It is no way near over. A man within the Mexican government told Backman there are more caravans coming from three other countries; Brazil, Columbia and Venezuela. Officials in Baja California say there are currently 9,000 migrants moving through Mexico in caravans.
Our southern “ally” is not helping in this situation.
It is clearly an invasion. Plus, if these stories of crimes being committed by those in the caravan are true, then they clearly aren’t ‘fleeing crime’ in their home countries. They are exporting it.
Wait. Are you saying that they’re not sending their best?
If we truly open ed our door, half of the world would be lined up.
so, the mexican government should have stopped it.
there was poll here last week and that was about the result 51% of the world would move here.
I believe every word of this.
There’s no way these invaders could have traveled from southern Mexico to northern Mexico without the help of the Mexican government.
Our enemedia has to have known the facts presented in this article, they’re pathetic.
Un-possible they’re political refugees, all the news shows told me so.
Having read multiple articles over the past couple of weeks about one aspect, or another of the caravan story covered in this article I say this writer is objective, and truthful.
I do believe some apparently American, and International organizations involved with Soros, or not must be made to pay a price for what can only be called aiding, and abetting invasion of our borders with intent to cause great harm to our existing society.
Funded by George Soros’ Foundations.
Mexican president and his pals are in for a taste.
President Trump is correct - consider the rock throwers the same as if they are using rifles, so our Border Patrol and National Guard should treat the invaders as armed hostiles. (He never said to shoot them, but then again he didn't say not to.)
Our southern “ally” is not helping in this situation.

That’s because they thought it would be our problem and not theirs.
What do you want to bet that if we do not admit the “caravan” and they get stuck in Tijuana that the Mexican government moves quickly to secure and bolster the weaknesses in their own borders that allowed the “caravan” in.... meanwhile back at the ranch the U.S government drags it feet on their border security.
Previously, Central Americans could speedily cross and Mexicans were silent.
Now that Mexicans have to put up with them AT ALL, they are noisy as hell.
Are Americans less tolerant than Mexicans, or more so..?
We have put up with these people in our midst since FOREVER, and it is only now we are loud enough to be heard by our “leaders”.
And then there is this:
We are perched on the brink of an job automation REVOLUTION. Even if we took ZERO refugees, there are all manner of low-end jobs (cashiers, fast food, drivers, to name just a few) that will disappear, leading to unemployment.
WHY ARE WE TAKING THESE PEOPLE NOW..?
The timing could not be WORSE.
Where is Soros, exactly? And where are his sons?
The breakdown of social order is a sign of the END TIMES.
We have a southern “ally”?
Who say so?
Get ready for ‘refugee’ collection centers.
