Frustration grows among migrants in Mexico as support fades
Associated Press ^ | April 21, 2019 | Sonia Perez D.

Madison Mendoza, her feet aching and her face burned by the sun, wept as she said she had nothing to feed her 2-year-old son who she’d brought with her on the long trek toward the United States.

Mendoza, 22, said an aunt in Honduras had convinced her to join the migrant caravan, which she did two weeks ago in the capital of Tegucigalpa. The aunt said she’d have no problems, that people along the route in Mexico would help as they did for a large caravan that moved through the area in October.

But this time, the help did not come. The outpouring of aid that once greeted Central American migrants as they trekked in caravans through southern Mexico has been drying up. Hungrier, advancing slowly or not at all, and hounded by unhelpful local officials, frustration is growing among the 5,000 to 8,000 migrants in the southern state of Chiapas. […]

Mexico is under pressure from the Trump administration to thwart them from reaching the U.S. border. In April, President Donald Trump threatened to close the U.S.-Mexico border before changing course and threatening tariffs on automobiles produced in Mexico if that country does not stop the flow of Central American migrants. …

Domestic abuse is her reason for coming to the US...said her life was in danger after receiving threats from the father of her son. “I thought that with the baby, people would help me on road.”

And here she is saying she has no food for her son because people aren't helping her.

But the 2 year old is the golden ticket to asylum if she can get across the Rio Grande. And because of our perpetually stupid immigration law, that crippled kid will be a ward of the state for the rest of her life. At least when Ellis Island was in use, that family would have been sent back to the boat.

I have been hearing the “mysterious” money to get these groups here is drying up. I am convinced that trail comes right back to Soros and others like him. Not sure what the reason is the funds are drying up...if it is true.

Polling for the border issues may not be coming out in favor of open borders/illegal immigration or something like that. We shall see. There has been no slow down in my area, not sure if the groups are having a harder time getting here or not though.

And the should be now--if you are diseased, infirmed, unable to support yourself, you have no business or welcome in the US. Send them home!

There should be zero public support for any immigrant. If they need help, that should be trigger to deport them. No exception, never.

I curse the NGOs that gin these people up with their blandishments. Using them as pawns in their Cloward-Piven assault on our border. Scum!

Proof positive that all these arrogant beggars are looking for are handouts and welfare courtesy of the American taxpayer.

[Mendoza, 22, said an aunt in Honduras had convinced her to join the migrant caravan]

I’d say the aunt deserves a cream pie to the face.

At a minimum.

And the 22-year-old thought such a journey was a good idea?

her face burned by the sun

Sunburned? No. She's darker than obama's boy friends. The kid's dingaling might get it, though.

She’s out of Honduras. Probablemo solvedo.

Why is she now “fleeing” Mexico? Didn’t she want refugee status?
