Wondering on everybody's thoughts on the 10,000 person migrant caravan heading for the U.S. from Honduras/Guatemala.
Do you think this will be successful?
Caravans head to the U.S. all the time with the assistance of humanitarian groups. Often these groups are targeted by gangs. Having a group this large is a way for poorer migrants who can't afford the $10,000 fee to safely seek asylum without paying the fee. Many in the group are children and the elderly.
Many are escaping poverty in their home countries and extreme crime rates. Honduras has nearly the highest homicide rate in the world.
What's your opinion? Does this have something to do with the mid term elections coming up? How many criminals/drug dealers might be in the group? How many might end up heading for Canada? How many migrants will succeed in making a life for themselves in the U.S.
On a side note, I'm not sure why so many are heading for the U.S. when it's suppose to be the worst country in the world. Why never Brazil, Argentina or Chile?
