“Pueblo sin Fronteras, the political outreach group who organized the caravan, released a press statement for the United States, Mexico, and their respective Central American governments. “We demand of the Mexico and the United States: that they respect our rights as refugees and our right to dignified work to be able to support our families,” the statements read. "The second demand is “that they open the borders to us because we are as much citizens as the people of the countries where we are and/or travel.” "A look at the Pueblo sin Fronteras group website shows that they have extensive experience leading caravans of migrants across different countries illegally."
“Our mission is to provide shelter and safety to migrants and refugees in transit, accompany them in their journey, and together demand respect for our human rights,” says the group’s Facebook page. (InfoWars)Until it is proven that they do not extort money from the migrants they carry, or are not on the payroll of special interest groups, Pueblo sin Fronteras are the political coyotes of the migrants they transport.
“Our dream is to build solidarity bridges among peoples and turndown border walls imposed by greed.” “In the face of this clear PR stunt orchestrated by leftist advocates, Trump has already shut down any notion of letting the caravan into the U.S., accusing Mexico of facilitating the groups trying to take advantage of the DACA situation.
These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA. They want in on the act!

“Congress must immediately pass Border Legislation, use Nuclear Option if necessary, to stop the massive inflow of Drugs and People. Border Patrol Agents (and ICE) are GREAT, but the weak Dem laws don’t allow them to do their job. Act now Congress, our country is being stolen!” he added on Monday. Trump also made clear that any DACA deal is effectively dead because the Democrats failed to act.Mexico has the absolute power not to let these large “Caravans” of people enter their country. They must stop them at their Northern Border, which they can do because their border laws work, not allow them to pass through into our country, which has no effective border laws.....

DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon... No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!

“The Caravan Against Fear is a grassroots mobilization that will travel from California to Texas to defend immigrant rights, keep families together, resist Trump, and build momentum for the May 1 National Strike. “Fear is being used as a weapon to break apart families and terrorize immigrant communities. We believe that defiant protest and direct action –coupled with acts of mutual aid, trust, and understanding– are vital to combating fear, repelling attacks on our freedom and families, and building a lasting civic offensive to defend vulnerable communities and defeat the repressive Trump agenda. “The Caravan is sponsored by a diverse coalition of labor, community, human rights, religious, civic, environmental, and other organizations in both the U.S. and Mexico. “Throughout the journey, the Caravan will meet with border communities and learn firsthand about the unique challenges facing the southern border region. We will put pressure on local, state and federal policymakers to pass expansive sanctuary policies, refuse to cooperate with ICE, withhold funding for deportations or border wall construction, and restore constitutional protections to people living along the border. We will document the effects of cruel and unjust policies on families and communities, and denounce corporations that facilitate Trump’s wall and deportation machine. We will ask everyone to join the May 1 National Strike – a moratorium on all business as usual to resist Trump. And at every stop we will stage actions to say No Deportations, No Raids, No Ban, No Wall, Sanctuary for All.”
“The influx prompted the Obama administration to enact emergency measures to stem the flow on its side of the border. “Meanwhile, Mexico said it would also step up enforcement on its southern border, and planned to stop people from boarding freight trains while opening new border control stations. “Never before has Mexico announced a state policy on the border, and now it has,” Interior Secretary Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong told the New York Times. “It is absolute control of the southern border.” “Mexico's Southern Border plan was to include "increased security at 12 ports of entry into Guatemala and Belize and increased immigration enforcement along known migration routes, including northbound trains and bus stations, according to an April 2016 report from the Congressional Research Service, which serves as the public policy research arm for Congress.”Caravans have carried on unimpeded despite Obama’s administration spending millions of tax dollars, ostensibly to help Mexico control its borders. The caravan currently headed to the U.S. is not made up of migrants looking for a better way of life for their families. The caravan is coming to contribute to the progressive left’s obsessive mission to take down President Donald Trump.
