Facing no way into U.S., some caravan members head home

by Wendy Fry
November 26, 2018

Outside the Benito Juárez migrant shelter in Tijuana, dozens stood in line Monday for a chance to return to their home country, a day after chaotic clashes at the border dimmed their hopes of entering the United States.

Members of the Central American migrant caravan slumped in a line late afternoon to ask for return passage, after traveling for more than a month and trekking thousands of miles by foot, by bus and crammed into the beds of trucks for days.

Some were tired and reluctantly surrendered their dream of going to the United States, rather than face months more in the overcrowded and unsustainable conditions in Tijuana shelters.

Others said they had economic duties to fulfill in Central America. And a small handful said they did not want to face any legal consequences for the violent confrontations with border agents and Mexican federal police on Sunday.

We could bus them to Ensenada, board them on cruise ships, and take them South for embarkation closer to their beloved Central American homelands.

I believe there is a spur on the Mexican national railroad system, from Nogales AZ, to Mazatlán nd beyond

Once called "Ferrocarril del Pacífico"

So migrating peasants could be transporter, this way too.
