President Donald Trump issued a warning to Mexico in response to Mexico's aiding a "Holy Week" caravan of about a thousand migrants headed to the U.S. border to demand Easter asylum. Trump said today, as a part of a series of Tweets:
"... Mexico is doing very little, if not NOTHING, at stopping people from flowing into Mexico through their Southern Border, and then into the U.S. They laugh at our dumb immigration laws. They must stop the big drug and people flows, or I will stop their cash cow, NAFTA. NEED WALL! ..."In fact, it appears that Mexico is not just doing enough to stem the flow, but is allowing and assisting migration through its borders to the U.S.
According to a report from Kausha Luna at the Center for Immigration Studies:
"...As part of Holy Week, over a thousand Central American illegal aliens set out to complete a "Stations of the Cross", traversing through Mexico, to reach the United States' southern border. Upon arrival, they hope to make asylum claims ... The caravan, marching under the slogan "Migrantes en la lucha" ("Migrants in the Fight"), was announced about a month ago by the group Pueblo Sin Fronteras. The organization asked for donations on its Facebook page and encouraged people to send them a message if they were interested in volunteering. The organization's mission statement reads as follows, '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.' ... As early as March 18, participants gathered in Tapachula, on Mexico's southern border (the point of departure). Organizers shared a video on their Facebook page which showed the migrants playing ice-breaker games. According to the post, the organization also conducted some introductory workshops ..."The President Tweeted:
"... These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA. They want in on the act! ..."
Luna's report shows that this group of immigrants is employing activist tactics and organizational skills on their trek to the U.S. border. The immigrants have asked for donations on a Facebook page, and are publicizing their journey on You Tube, assisted by an ,immigrant group: "Pueblo Sin Fronteras," (People Without Borders). This group is hosting workshops in Puebla, Mexico from April 5 to April 9, organized by U.S. and Mexican lawyers, to "...provide legal guidance on the use of asylum or refuge in Mexico and the United States..."
Luna says:
"...Additionally, the group practiced security protocols, including formations which called for the men of the group to form a wall around the women and children. Moreover, the Central Americans made their way to Mexico's Commission for Refugee Assistance and made calls for better compliance with international and national laws, faster processing of asylum applications, and an increase in acceptance rates..."
Behold a You Tube Video about the Trek, set to music in Spanish, with english subtitles, about the "caravan." ...
What caused Trump to rescind his offer of a DACA deal?
According to Dennis Michael Lynch on his Facebook Page, it was Trump Supporters contacting the President with the aim to hold Trump accountable for his actions and holding him to the promises he made as a candidate for President. See that video HERE... (Video via Elizabeth Rhyne)
