Caravan Migrants Are Endangering Children in Order to Enter US Illegally and Claim Asylum

A 19-year old Honduran woman who was eight months pregnant scaled California’s flimsy border fence with her husband an 3-year old son and gave birth to an anchor baby hours later in the US.  The baby will entitle her to hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer-funded welfare because her son is now considered a US citizen under birthright citizenship laws.  Another woman from the caravan wriggled through a hole under the fence and her boyfriend pushed their 8-month old son through the hole to America.  Last week, video captured small children being dropped over the 18-foot border wall in Arizona as six family members from Guatemala, with three children ages 2, 7 and 10, jumped the border.  One of the children suffered a facial injury.  In late November, caravan mothers and children were used to storm the border from Tijuana because they are sympathetic.  One mother who has a 15-year old son with Down’s Syndrome said that she was pressured by caravan organizers to storm the border or leave the caravan.  Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a Soros-funded open borders organization is the leading organizer of the caravans.

Congress needs to change the birthright citizenship practice, cut incentives that draw migrants to the US border and deport illegal aliens instead of allowing them to stay within the US.

A Migrant mother from Honduras, along with her 15-year-old down-syndrome son, was one among many she says who were “forced” to join the migrant caravan and felt “pressured” to rush the fence at the southern U.S. border.

María Luisa Cáceres traveled from Honduras to the U.S. border with her son. She went to the El Chaparral border area in Tijuana, Mexico on November 25 to check the status of her asylum number (#1537) and was told she had to wait three weeks until she could apply.

Cáceres told The Epoch Times that organizers pressured her to rush the border fence. Cáceres said she didn’t want to, “but as we are with the caravan, we are forced to.”

“The truth is that we were told that if we didn’t go to the caravan, then we were not with them, and you know, since we departed from Honduras, we came in a caravan,” she said.

Cáceres said, “What I did yesterday was very risky, I wish it won’t happen again,” and blamed the aggressive men who rushed past the Mexican riot police and stormed the border. “There are people who only think about themselves, they don’t think about the mothers with kids, they think about nothing,” she said.

“It appears in some cases that the limited number of women and children in the caravan are being used by the organizers as ‘human shields’ when they confront law enforcement,” Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen wrote in a Facebook post on Nov. 26.“They are being put at risk by the caravan organizers, as we saw at the Mexico–Guatemala border. This is putting vulnerable people in harm’s way.”

The group organizing asylum entry/numbers is Pueblo Sin Fronteras (“People Without Borders”), a George Soros-linked open-borders organization that has financially organized the transportation of several caravans of Central Americans in an attempt to get them asylum in the U.S.
