Anybody hearing about just how far left the caravan organizers are? americanthinker.com/blog/2018/11/a… via @AmericanThinker
To hear the news report it, the migrant caravan is just a spontaneous uprising of women and children fleeing Honduran gangs, and the issue is one of Mexico and the U.S. diplomacy finding a way to accommodate them.
What's lost is just how hard, hard, left the organizers of what has become this humanitarian disaster are. Even the leftist liberation-theology-oriented rifles-and-cassocks crowd is getting concerned. Their agenda is hard-left, pro-Chavista- drawing the fringiest leftwing groups.
It's not a humanitarian mission in the slightest to them, it's a by-any-means-necessary political mission. A look at the caravan organizers and their allies shows that's it's all about confronting the U.S. The moms-and-kids are window dressing.
Take a look at what Puebla Sin Fronteras has on its website, in announcing a border protest today:
“We, the San Diego Migrant and Refugee Solidarity Coalition, composed of migrant rights and social justice groups, invite individuals and organizations across the country and globe to organize demonstrations in their cities...”
“... and if they have the capacity, to join our rally and march to the border.
We call for an action on November 25th to commemorate the anniversary of the 2017 Honduran election stolen by the US government-backed, right-wing military dictator Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH).”

“We are demonstrating on this day to acknowledge and draw attention to the current social and political crises driving the exodus from Central America.”
“We understand that these crises—drug wars, military coups, destruction of indigenous lands for the benefit of corporations, and environmental catastrophe in the region—are all symptoms of US foreign policy, corporate profiteering and war-making.”
“Moreover, we see that the Trump administration is creating a warlike atmosphere against the caravan.”
“It should be clear that they are not just acting with the support of a cabinet of white supremacists and a majority GOP in the Senate but are also emboldened decades of bipartisan militarization of the border, mass raids, expansion of for-profit detention centers...”
“... and mass deportations—with more than 2.5 million migrants under Obama and Trump alone. Further, these policies are a continuation of a long history of anti-Indigenous colonial violence and genocide.”
It just gets worse, with its list of demands, including this beauty:
“3. The US government must publicly acknowledge a) its role in Honduran Coup in 2009, b) that the Honduran government is a US supported dictatorship, and...”
“3. The US government must publicly acknowledge a) its role in Honduran Coup in 2009, b) that the Honduran government is a US supported dictatorship, and...”
“c) recognize the political and social crises throughout Central America as caused by US foreign policy.”
This is nutbag, far-left stuff. That's not about moms and kids, that's about the political demands of Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. And as you read further in their "demands," you can read that they also want American officials prosecuted.
This is the caravan agenda as it throws hapless women and children in front of the cameras, leaves Tijuana a humanitarian agenda area, and leaves Mexico with the prospect of a completely shut border.
As they say: By any means necessarily, and those migrants are their pawns. Now is the scenario clearer?
