Migrant mobs

There are a few interesting developments reported.

1) American Thinker.  Caravan migrants reject job offers from Tijuana. The city has offered a job fair to the Central American migrants as a practical means of reducing the pressure that thousands of foreign unemployed military-aged young men present camped out in Tijuana. The reward is good money in a city more civilized than the one they left.

Apparently hundreds accepted out of six thousand.

The article goes on to explain that many of the caravan migrants still prefer to sneak into the U.S. illegally without taking a pro-offered Mexican job, skipping the U.S. asylum process, too, and just entering when the troops are gone, the concertina wire is cut, and the coast is clear.  Jobs in Mexico, even good ones, are for the birds.  As for the migrants who actually take the jobs, they might still enter the U.S. illegally, too, according to the reports, which isn't much of an incentive for Mexican employers to hire and train them.

2) Los Angeles Times. Texas volunteers open their homes and hearts to asylum seekers.

Tugging wagons loaded with chicken dinners, blankets, coats and shoes, Mike Benavides and his partner, Sergio Cordova, guided half a dozen volunteers across the bridge from Texas into one of Mexico’s most dangerous states. 

They walked past Mexican customs and headed to a group of about two dozen migrants camping under tarps at the foot of the bridge. Days before, the volunteers had brought them the tarps. 

It’s a routine repeated every evening as the volunteers enter Mexico to feed and clothe the stranded asylum seekers.

American custom officer wave them through to Mexico but keep asylum seekers from entering.

Well intended as this is, Christian as it is, I cannot see how this wouldn't reinforce in the minds of destitute immigrants with no real knowledge about how America works or about American values regarding hard work and reward result in such a blessed society, that America is a place where the sidewalks are trimmed in gold and everything comes to you for free; housing, education, clothing and food, healthcare, and safety, and you don't even have to work. Just be.

3) Associated Press. Mexican immigration agents detain 213 migrants in fourth caravan.

The migrants detained on a highway between the Guatemalan border and the southern Mexican city of Tapachula included 186 people from El Salvador, 16 from Guatemala, 10 Honduras and one Nicaraguan. 

The group set out from El Salvador on Nov. 18 and apparently crossed the river dividing Guatemala and Mexico on Tuesday. That is the same route the three larger caravans took after entering Mexico starting Oct. 19.

Much more distressing information at the link, including dead teenage migrants apparently murdered.

AP provides a straightforward and telling report.
