and tarps, tortillas and medicine
Small Mexican towns and villages have organized to welcome the caravan with food and drink. And here’s an interesting item:
When the caravan comes to town, it brings much more than just migrants. It has become a traveling road show of humanitarian workers, U.N. refugee staff, religious volunteers, government bureaucrats, police and immigration officials, as well as a good chunk of Mexico’s foreign media corps. It is catching no one by surprise. On the radio in Tonala, a city 50 miles north of Pijijiapan, public service announcements went out on the radio Thursday ahead of the caravan’s arrival, instructing people where to donate and how to help.
Has it become a UN item to use this for its Open Borders agenda? And the Catholic Church? And, of course, we know media outlets are going all out on this.
President Enrique Peña Nieto’s government has vacillated on the caravan. There was an initial violent clash with federal police in riot gear at Mexico’s southern border, but the group was eventually allowed to pass.
Local governments in the state of Chiapas have so far been more welcoming. The newly elected mayor of Pijijiapan, Hector Meneses Marcelino, is from the Morena party, the same as Mexico’s incoming president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who campaigned on treating migrants less as criminals and more as human beings with rights that need to be defended. Meneses said he spent one morning this week defusing a situation in which federal immigration officials wanted to arrest Mexicans who were picking up migrant hitchhikers.
Here we go again. Young, single males who should be working to improve their own homeland instead of coming to the USA.
And it doesn’t appear that they’ll be anywhere near the border on election day. This the Left screwed up in figuring where they’d be then?
Much more of this @ Mexicans shower the caravan with kindness — and tarps, tortillas and medicine
