Fast-growing Honduran migrant caravan headed for U.S.

Isn't the title sort of misleading? These are refugees from a government that has lost control and basically went the way of Somalian pirates.

Mexico dispatches two Boeing 727s full of federal police officers to intercept migrant caravan from Honduras heading to the US that has defied Trump's warnings and continues to grow

• Hundreds of Mexican Federal Police Officers arrived at the southern border region of Chiapas on Wednesday
• A column of some 4,000 Honduran migrants is marching through Guatemala towards the Mexican border
• Mexican police insist that they are not there to stop the entry of migrants, but to facilitate order at the border
• Trump has threatened to pull back international aid from any country that allows caravan to pass to the U.S.
• He threatened on Thursday to send the military to seal the U.S.-Mexico border
• Migrant marchers have now reached Guatemala City about 180 miles from the border with Mexico

And when they're not federal police officers, they're working Uber taxis for pennys a day.

Should be effective.

Nice reading the article:

There was no stopping hoards from the North at Rome and nowadays from the South.

Money would be better spent at bulding more aqueducts.

Not sure if the current President of Honduras was the one put in power after the coup or if it's a new guy. Just seems like they are always overthrowing leaders in Central America if they try to help their people. Lots of the leaders put in power by CIA after the coup usually come from School of Americas (torture training programs)

What happens in all these latin american countries is that they have what appear to be imoveable barriers in debt transfer between public and private debt.

That could easily be removed at any point and you'd have the equivalent of a New Spanish empire, but probably won't happen and just left to Narco controllers or whatever special permit each/any country is awarded by the intl. Banks.

Armed police tear gas Honduran migrants at Guatemala-Mexico border but then let caravan of 4,000 PASS THROUGH, women and children first, as Trump's demands to stop it are ignored

• The group stormed the border gate in Tecun Uman, Guatemala, on Friday morning to cross into Mexico
• They overpowered police who were there, carrying babies and children as they made their way over the Suchiate River
• After smashing down the gate, the group screamed and sang in victory while running over the bridge
• They were then met with Mexican police who threw tear gas into the crowd before agreeing to let them in
• Earlier, they were forced to retreat to reorganize in Guatemala after being met with heavy resistance
• The group is determined to get to the US and Mexico is the last country to traverse before they do
• President Trump has made repeated pleas to Mexico's government to help him stop the group from arriving
• He threatened to close the US border with Mexico on Thursday as the caravan continued making progress
