jeesh
who paid to get the migrants to the border by those buses the media didn't show you.... (unless you believe the migrants chose to walk an extra 1000 miles to get to tj instead of brownsville and did so at an average daily speed of over 20mph).
Google pueblo sin frontera.
So you're argument is that this immigration group who has been assisting with and organizing caravans also organized this caravan and paid for busses? I don't see any information supporting this, ut I have no idea if it's true or not (because you haven't provided any).
From their website:
At the same time, we have asked Mexican institutions to comply with the laws that govern the issuance of humanitarian visas and the recognition of refugee status, because the system that currently exists for these processes in Mexico is full of irregularities and human rights violations. These include the incarceration of asylum seekers, the confinement of asylum applicants to violent and impoverished regions and cities, arbitrary and illegal delays, and a lack of infrastructure for addressing refugees’ most urgent humanitarian needs.
Pueblo Sin Fronteras also coordinates two migrant shelters in Sonora --in one of the most violent and exposed border zones in the country-- which provide food, a roof, and humanitarian assistance to hundreds of people each month. We have built community organizing campaigns against the separation of families in the United States and against police violence in Tijuana, among others.
On October 12th of this year, when we learned about the Caminata Migrante beginning in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, we began to closely follow all the information we could find. We were aware of the delicate electoral moment in the United States and change of administration in Mexico, which this caravan would struggle to navigate. However, we also appreciate the critical conditions expelling people, principally but not only from Honduras, and we understood that the emergence of the Caminata Migrante demonstrated how hunger, death, and the desire to preserve life were the true causes of the exodus, and not, as some have tried to misinform in public forums, any opportunistic political calculation.
For these reasons, as human rights defenders, we recognize the need to offer direct accompaniment, as far as we were able, due to the situation of abuse and use of force to violate human rights that we began to observe from the moment the Caminata began to cross through an increasingly militarized frontier between Honduras and Guatemala, and above all upon arriving at the border between Guatemala and México.
A group of volunteers from Pueblo Sin Fronteras traveled to southern México to accompany the members of the Caminata, which from that moment was recognized as a mass “Exodus”, now that the mass migration which has been occurring for years in this part of the continent has finally made itself visible due to the collective character of the Caminata.
As we have accompanied this Exodus, we have walked, slept, eaten, and built community alongside the migrants who drive it forward. In our previous work of accompaniment and defense of human rights we have built channels of communication with authorities, public safety agencies, and civil society. On the road with this Exodus, those same agencies have requested our presence on a variety of occasions as participants in facilitating the distribution of humanitarian aid and the protection of human safety in critical moments. We have sought to serve as a link when it is effective and when the Exodus itself requires it in order to travel more safely through especially dangerous regions, despite the circumstances and obstacles imposed in many cases by the federal government and by various state governments, despite the risks along the road, and despite the criminalization that has been encouraged by unethical media outlets.
If they started or paid for the caravan then they aren't taking credit. If you have evidence to the contrary I'm still all ears.
But now I'm not even sure what you're argument is at this point. When you started it was that american liberals and soros created and funded this caravan, which has never happened before, in order to create chaos at the border. In reality, you've shown no evidence that Soros or american liberals were involved or funded it, you've shown that an immigration non-prophet apparently offered some assistance at some point and that these types of caravans have happened in the past.
You're just proving my point further and further. Caravans have happened before and the processes we have in place took care of it. People filed for refugee status, they were accepted or denied and life went on. It's only chaos now because the president has changed policies to make things that way.
