Since they are not all in vehicles (in fact, few are), they can only move at walking speed or they would not be a caravan and they would have gotten to the US long before now.

The DHS is a baloney site? You don't think that out of 4-7 thousand people that there wouldn't be any criminals among them? Statistically alone there would be. You just keep digging a bigger and bigger hole for yourself.

If they are on private land with the blessing of the property owners and its posted I believe they can shoot them for trespassing.
They were offered work permits in the two most Southern states in Mexico if they filed for asylum, those areas are violent.

Where's your link proving just what states of Mexico that they would be working in? Chiapas where they were at at the time is not one of the more dangerous states. I saw a map online depicting the most dangerous ones and Chiapas wasn't one of them.

Those who accepted Mexicos offer of asylum will not now be in the caravan and seeking asylum in the US.

UNDERSTAND?

Those still in the caravan at the time they reach our border, i.e; "these people" from my original post?

Did not accept mexicos offer of asylum and thus cannot be considered asylum seekers under international criteria.

Stop trolling if you really arent this dumb..

^Actually, most of them are ex military, and are ex military for a reason, and it's mostly because they got tired of being held back by red tape. They are also better trained as well.

Chicago is "violent". Tijuana is violent.
Escaping violence for politicsl asylum means you would be victimized for your political views. Mexico is not honduras orel salvador.
Are you advovating altering internationsl asylum criteria to allow "welfare shopping"?
Because thats what these people are up to and thats what reveals them to not be legitimate asylum seekers.
"Here is some help for you."
"Well sure thats better than what I had but its not good enough, I can do better than what you offer. I want to stay with that really rich neighbor over there".

In Mexico, Armed Men Force Thousands Of People Out Of Chiapo


December 1, 2017
Heard on Morning Edition

James Fredrick
Violent unrest in the Mexican state of Chiapas has displaced thousands of indigenous people, and concern is growing about a possible humanitarian crisis.

Violent unrest in the Mexican state of Chiapas has displaced thousands of indigenous people, and concern is growing about a possible humanitarian crisis.


FREDRICK: She tells him how they burned her corn and beans fields - everything. Now she sleeps in the mountains hungry and with a hurting heart. In October, after a series of murders, armed men began forcing these villagers out of their homes. In a month, an estimated 5,000 people have been displaced.

They didn't accept work permits in violent Mexican states so they are "shopping" around. You need to do more research on the states where they were offered accommodation, you know nothing about what was offered, Just making excuses, these families marching thousand of miles are asking too much.


Your sarcasm is absurd.
