Today In Migrant Caravans

Today's talking point from the pro-illegal alien crowd is that the "migrant families" in Tijuana awaiting the chance to enter the USA are "ailing" and in "dire" condition.  Think about that.

First, the majority of the people in the so called caravan are young men, not families.  Young men are not as sympathetic as children with their mothers, however, so the few families involved are highlighted by the media.

Second, all of the way from Honduras to the US border the "migrants" received medical care, food and water supplied to them by unknown benefactors.  Now that the "migrants" have made it to the border, the same benefactors either have stopped providing support in order to gain sympathy for their cause at the expense of the "migrants" or (more likely) have hidden the support so that phony claims of "need" can be made in a bid for sympathy.

Third, every one of the folks in the caravan group was offered asylum in Mexico.  That means that if they are actually suffering at the border, it is by their own choice.  They could have taken advantage of the assistance offered by the Mexican government and they could be in a much better situation than the one portrayed in the media.  Choosing not to accept asylum from Mexico is not a basis for sympathy from the USA.
