12:36Now PlayingCaravan of Central American Migrants Holds a Mirror to Cruel U.S. Immigration Policy & Imperialism
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDespite efforts by Mexican immigration authorities to disband a caravan of Central American migrants, hundreds are still bound for the U.S.Mexico border. This comes after an earlymorning tweet from President Trump that said the caravan “is largely broken up thanks to the strong immigration laws of Mexico and their willingness to use them so as not to cause a giant scene.” The group People Without Borders, or Pueblo Sin Fronteras, has organized the caravan since 2010 to draw attention to the right to seek asylum and refuge. This year its members are disproportionately from Honduras, which remains in political upheaval after U.S.backed rightwing President Juan Orlando Hernández was inaugurated for a second term despite allegations of widespread voting fraud in November. We get an update from Arturo Vizcarra, a volunteer with People Without Borders. He just returned from the caravan.
