Migrants being used as pawns by socialist, communist groups to achieve open border goal, expert says

TIJUANA, Mexico—María Luisa Cáceres went to the El Chaparral border area in Tijuana on Nov. 25 to check the status of her asylum number. It was there, at a makeshift registration tent a week earlier, that she was given number 1,537.

The group organizing the asylum numbers is Pueblo Sin Fronteras (“People Without Borders”), an open-borders group that has supported several caravans of Central American migrants attempting to gain asylum in the United States.

The group writes the names of asylum-seekers in its book—each number is assigned 10 names—and when a number is called, that’s the day those people enter the pedestrian crossing into the United States and claim asylum. They have recorded more than 11,000 names since March. U.S. Customs and Border Protection processes around 100 asylum claims per day at El Chaparral.

It seems to be a well-oiled asylum machine, with NGOs such as Los Angeles-based Al Otro Lado (“To the other side”) going into the camp to advise migrants on the process and how to deal with certain questions.

The organization’s litigation director, Erika Pinheiro, was giving advice over a loudspeaker at the migrant camp at the Benito Juarez sports complex on Nov. 19.

She told the migrants to make sure they submitted an asylum application within a year of getting into the United States, otherwise they would only be eligible for “withholding of removal,” which has far fewer benefits.

“It’s important to be eligible for asylum,” Pinheiro said. “[Withholding of removal] is not a road towards residency and citizenship. That is, you’ll only have a work permit; you’ll never be able to leave the United States; you can’t apply for your family members; you can’t vote in the United States. Basically, you won’t be deported but it doesn’t have many benefits.”

But, she said, even criminals and previous deportees can obtain withholding of removal status.

When Cáceres took her 15-year-old special-needs son to check their asylum number on Nov. 25, she was told it would be another three weeks before her number was called.

But that was also the day that organizers called the thousands of migrants to march to the border. Cáceres said she didn’t plan to join the protest, “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 was at Benito Juarez when The Epoch Times spoke to her. She had just been given a tent to sleep in, which has “Abolich ICE” painted on the sides.

She joined the caravan in Honduras because she thought she could get into the United States and get help, especially for her special-needs child. She declined the offer of asylum in Mexico, “because if we stay here, it’s like staying in Honduras.” We want more things that we can get in America.

She left four other children at home, aged 11 through 25. Cus, you know, once your in you can send for family members and get more free stuff..

Cruz said her family didn’t rush to the border with the approximately 1,000 migrants on Nov. 25, but instead returned to the camp. She said she has four brothers in the United States already.

‘A Political, Staged Play’

Caravan organizers are trying to weaken the Trump administration and the United States, according to Col. Fred Peterson, former chief public affairs officer of Joint Task Force North, the Defense Department’s counter-drug and anti-terrorist operation.

“This is a very well-funded operation,” he told The Epoch Times. “It’s not spontaneous at all.”

The migrants themselves are being exploited for political purposes, he said. “They’re just props in a political, staged play.”

He anticipated that the organizers would intentionally put the migrants in dangerous situations to create an incident that could be weaponized against the United States.

“I would expect them to stage an event where innocents are intentionally killed,” he said.

COWARDS!

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen defended Border Patrol’s use of tear gas during the rush to the border fence on Nov. 25, and accused caravan organizers of pushing women and children onto the front lines.

“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,” 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.”

Nielsen said there are 8,500 caravan members in Tijuana and Mexicali, Mexico, and also reports of additional caravans on their way.

A month ago, Vice President Mike Pence said intelligence from foreign partners pointed to leftist groups behind the caravans.

“What the president of Honduras told me is that the caravan was organized by leftist organizations, political activists within Honduras, and he said it was being funded by outside groups, and even from Venezuela,” Pence told Fox News on Oct. 26.

A video posted on the Netnoticias.mx Facebook page on Nov. 25, shows a Mexican police officer pleading with migrants not to listen to caravan leaders—who were telling them to put the kids on the front line.

“Don’t let them fool you! Don’t let them lie to you! These leaders; the only thing they’re doing is risking that something bad happens to your families. Because they say ‘go to the front,’” the officer is heard saying in Spanish. “Do not trust the leaders. They are brainwashing you.”

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum said in a press conference on Nov. 27 that the migrant parents acted irresponsibly on Nov. 25.

“How is it possible that a father, a mother, can be so heartless and take their child to danger?” Gastélum said. “There are some horrendous photos there, where a mom is pulling, trying to save the children from the tear gas, but who brings them there? Those leaders, who are taking the caravan across the country, they expose them to danger throughout the entire country.”
Exploiting Migrants

Trevor Loudon, a recognized expert on communist groups and a contributor to The Epoch Times, said the migrants are being exploited by Pueblo Sin Fronteras and other socialist and communist groups that want to dismantle U.S. borders.

He said Pueblo Sin Fronteras is run by Emma Lozano, who comes from a very well-known communist party family in Chicago.

“I know they played a very active role in encouraging the caravan right from the very beginning,” Loudon said.

At the migrant camp in Tijuana, where more than 5,150 migrants are crammed into a dusty sports complex, communist propaganda fliers are being distributed.

One flier, of which the Spanish version was handed out to migrants on the night of the failed border-rush attempt, says “Open it up or we’ll shut it down! Everyone must be let in!”

The flier was printed by BAMN, a communist organization based in California that describes itself as a “Coalition to defend affirmative action, integration & immigrant rights and fight for equality by any means necessary.”

A second flier written by the Communist Party of Mexico in Baja California, was handed out the following evening. The single sheet, with a hammer and sickle in the top-right corner, rallies the migrants to: “Let’s organize active solidarity and defense against any nationalist or government attack.”

It goes on to say, “Your struggle is our struggle. … It’s not enough to just leave the country, but to also organize ourselves to fight in a revolutionary way to transform our place of residence.”

The flier also says the migrants are fleeing “from the society ruled by capitalists,” and blames the United States for the conditions in Central America.

Loudon said the groups behind the fliers are trying to unite the migrants by giving them a sense of grievance.

“That this is a civil-rights issue and President Trump is being a tyrant for trying to deny these people access,” he said. “And that they deserve to go to America because America has basically created horrible conditions in their own countries.”

In reality, Loudon said, most of the countries in Latin America have Marxist, socialist, ex-guerrilla governments that have allowed gangs and drug cartels to take over.

“So most of the problems in Latin America don’t come from America, they come from Marxism, criminality, and interference by the Chinese and the Soviets and the Cubans over a very long period of time, to create basic chaos and poverty in most countries south of the border—and then they blame it on America, as they always do.”

Pueblo Sin Fronteras hasn’t responded to several requests for comment.
