Migrants REFUSE Mexico’s Offer

Mexican officials are now offering the “migrant caravan” asylum.

Because that’s what they’re searching for, right? Asylum from their own decimated country? This isn’t a political stunt or anything, right? They just want to be safe!

Well…Guess how that went:

Riiiight.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto launched a program on Friday dubbed “You are home,” which promises shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans who agree to stay in the southern Mexico states of Chiapas or Oaxaca.

Police commissioner Benjamin Grajeda said that authorities only blocked the highway Saturday to tell people about the government’s offer. “Here in this truck right now you can get help,” he said. Some fear they will be deported if they take advantage of the program.

Thousands of migrants in the city of Arriaga rejected the plan Friday night, but said they could be willing to discuss it again once they reach Mexico City.

…

Orbelina Orellana, a migrant from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, said she and her husband left three children behind and had decided to continue north one way or another.

So they fear getting deported from Mexico, but not from the US, right?

Evidence they’re not asylum seekers, Exhibit A.

And now any case for asylum in America that they thought they had, is gone.

Why are these people fleeing socialist paradises in Central and South America to come to the evil, racist, capitalist United States?

As I mentioned, Vice President Mike Pence learned some disturbing information about the caravan.

According to Fox News:

“What the president of Honduras told me is that the caravan was organized by leftist organizations, political activists within Honduras, and he said it was being funded by outside groups, and even from Venezuela,” Pence told Fox News in an interview late Friday in Yuma, Arizona. “So the American people, I think, see through this – they understand this is not a spontaneous caravan of vulnerable people.”

This just seems to verify that claim.
