Migrant caravan abandons plan to travel to US border
2018-04-05
A wise decision. Though going back home, settling in Mexico, or continuing on without the protection of the group will each have a different set of unpleasant risks. Perhaps next time it would be better to ignore the siren song of the activists.
[AFP] A caravan of Central American migrants colonists whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday.

"We will wrap up our work in Mexico City," said Irineo Mujica, the head of the migrant advocacy group People Without Borders (Pueblo sin Fronteras).

"We have support teams at the border if there are people who need assistance there, but they would have to travel on their own," he told AFP in the town of Matias Romero, in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.

The just over 1,000 migrants colonists who currently make up the caravan -- many traveling in families of up to 20 people -- have been camped in the southern town since the weekend, deciding their next move in the face of daily attacks from Trump.

The Republican president vowed to send the US military to secure the border and threatened to axe the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) if Mexico did not stop the caravan.

In other words, keep a low profile and keep on moving. Nothing has changed except the show.

The MSM always seems to omit this...
