Fox News reporter, Griff Jenkins, who is embedded with the first caravan, is reporting that buses are being brought in to transport the illegal alien caravan. It isn’t the Mexican government doing this as they are trying to make the caravan just vanish.
Indeed it has been working as the caravan, which once had 14,000 people has dwindled down to just 4,000 as members are getting weary or worried. Some have gone home and some have applied for asylum in Mexico. In fact, it has gotten so bad that organizers are demanding dignified transport to Mexico City.
The migrant caravan slowly advancing through southern Mexico is demanding the Mexican government help its 4,000 participants reach Mexico City even as a smaller group of Central Americans entered the country, presumably with the intention of joining it.
Worn down from long miles of walking and frustrated by the caravan’s slow progress, some migrants have been dropping out and returning home or applying for protected status in Mexico. Conscious of that frustration, its representatives demanded “safe and dignified” transportation to the capital Monday after the group arrived in the Oaxaca state town of Niltepec.
The Mexican government has shown no inclination to assist, however, with the exception of its migrant protection agency giving some of the caravan’s stragglers rides to the next town over the weekend.
But Mexican officials seem intent only on seeing the caravan melt away as it travels toward the U.S. border. The government regularly trumpets the number of migrants who have applied for refugee status or asked to return to their home countries.
There are currently four separate caravans making their way to the United States. We have already moved 7,300 active duty troops and National Guardsmen and it has been announced that more could be on the way as President Trump and other cabiney members have sworn not to allow them to enter.
