those who make the most noise against the wall are the same ones who live in gated communities and have security
I don't think they really want to do so.
I guess if they want to endanger and drag their poor kids across the country, thats up to them.
Guess they are marched against their will huh
Poor guise.
A recent report from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) states that these Northern Triangle countries are experiencing “unprecedented levels of violence outside a war zone” and that “citizens are murdered with impunity, kidnappings and extortion are daily occurrences. Non-state actors perpetuate insecurity and forcibly recruit individuals into their ranks, and use sexual violence as a tool of intimidation and control.”
The sheer scale of population displacement is breathtaking. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the so-called northern triangle – El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras – over the past five years. More than 161,000 people from these three countries applied for asylum to the US between 2011-2016. At least 714,000 more are internally displaced.
Coordinators who helped direct the migrants on the 2,000-mile trek with bullhorns, arranging for buses and giving advice along the way, have mostly vanished. Many of the migrants say they feel abandoned and unsure where to turn next. Some are ready to return home.
Garrido said this new, larger caravan will probably be joined by more people in El Salvador and in Guatemala, but she said they don’t plan on coming straight to the Tijuana-San Diego border, where resources are already stretched nearly to a breaking point.
“They will stay in the south of Mexico in Chiapas and Oaxaca. Their aim is to request work there,” she said.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has pledged visas and work in Mexico for Central American migrants. In his inauguration speech, he pledged public works projects such as planting 2 million trees and construction of his Maya Train, which will link cities in the three Yucatan peninsula states as well as Tabasco and Chiapas.

No more so than any other refugees. The trek, apparently, is seen as less dangerous than remaining.
Most are.
They arent refugees.
Source?
And if they were actual refugees there is absolutely no reason for the US o let them in as the "refugees" are to claim asylum at the first safe harbor they can.
I can't say I'm surprised.
Personally I think every invader caravan should be treated as hostile foreign forces and bombed into oblivion.

I'm just wondering, instead of the male migration rigmarole, why don't they just admit they can't run a country and beg to be colonized or re-colonized?
Please horrible capitalist US, colonize us - exploit us if you like, but pretty please make us citizens.
Please dreadful Europe, recolonize Africa!
Oh hurry before the Chinese get here please.
Because they will make you effective slaves.
Tibet, is that still a global Leftist cause?
Apparently not.

Violence drives immigration from Central America

Organised violence is ravaging Central America and displacing thousands
