RUMOR: Army of Central American illegals marching North through Mexico
Come to think of it, I may be debunking an april fools joke here, but Drudge, Infowars, and all the forums and blogs have this story. So if it is an april fools joke it got taken seriously.
There is a rumor that over a thousand central Americans are marching North through Mexico to enter the United States. I doubt it, but since I have seen this posted a zillion places I might as well mention it.
Unless Americans are violent or caught committing serious crimes, they almost never get deported from Mexico. They bring too much cash in, and are liked because of that. However, if a horde of Central Americans who don't have a dime were walking through Mexico, they'd be busted post haste. I suspect the story of a thousand plus Central Americans walking all the way North through Mexico is another "children on trains" episode, there are only a few north/south routes that can be used, and mums the word in Mexico, I have not heard anything about this. How about some logistics?
The story is they are walking in one big group, north. That they crashed the Mex border and nothing was done to stop them. NOW LOGISTICS:
1. Men women and children are supposedly doing this, and they are WALKING. QUESTION: How far can a kid walk in a day, and when that is done, mom or dad have to carry the kid. How far will that go? 30 miles MAX, per day? on unfamiliar roads, where Mexicans hate these types far more than Americans are annoyed by Mexicans?
2. Miles are miles, and you have to eat. Assuming these are poor people, well, if you are expending energy you have to eat. In Mex, that will, if you have no support and have to eat out, it will put you back at least $7 a day. Where did these people get the money to buy 15 food items each from Tamale Juan? Add water and whatever else. Aint happening. NOPE. Mexico is really really long from south to North, look at it! It is more distance than the Mex border in Arizona to Canada! What group of 1000 could possibly just up and walk that far with nothing? If they had enough money for food, they could take the bus a LOT CHEAPER than paying for that much food, howcome they did not? Anyone can take a bus in Mex, just buy a ticket. It is that easy. AND A LOT cheaper than walking! By the time anyone walked 300 miles, which would take about 10 days, a ticket for a 2000 mile bus ride would be CHEAPER than eating while walking that far. On that merit alone, the story is B.S.
3. Where are these thousand people going to sleep? The pictures of these people just show a crowd walking, not a caravan with massive back packs for blankets and whatever shelter they'd need. Just plain clothes people walking with NOTHING. YES, BULLSHIT. Another fake children on trains episode,
4. Here's a huge logistical problem with the story: They are trying to claim that Angelica with a blister on her foot was waited for by race horce Pedro, because he was really patient, and really cared that the entire group of 1000 plus stayed together, because, well, they liked each other. But they all are going to arrive at the U.S. border at the end of a 2000 mile journey like one giant high energy flash mob and storm it. YEP. BULLSHIT.
Here's how such an event would really take place: 1000 Hondurans made it to the southern Mex border as a group. (plausible). They then storm the border successfully, while noticed well enough to make the news. (Implausible.) Now they are in Mexico. Folks, for the most part, Mex is similar to the U.S. - as soon as they hit that border they'd have discovered a relative fairy tale land. Then Angelica got a blister on her foot in central Chiapas, and the group did not wait for her. Monza and Enrique had a kid step on a thorn, and the group did not wait for them to pull it out, they continued. 150 miles into Mexico, the group is now fragmented and unrecognizable, because for whatever reasons, they split up. Some had cash for a bus after they figured out what a crappy idea walking was, others found work, some turned back, and the story ends 100 miles south of Mexico City, with the group totally broken and spread out so much no one, not even a local, would know anyone crossed the southern border at all.
There is NOT a group of 1000 people walking from the southern border to the Northern border of Mexico, without a dime in their pockets, children and all, with no blankets or anything else. They have to eat, they have to sleep, and if the locals saw them walking in a mob, identified well enough to know who they were, they would be hated and attacked. Especially in the drug lord zone, which they'd have to somehow make it through. IMPOSSIBLE STORY FOLKS. April fools? Perhaps.
