Caravan Migrant Says March to U.S. Border Is for Jobs, Not AsylumBreitbart, Oct 19, 2018, John Binder
One of the more than 4,000 migrants traveling in a caravan from Honduras through Mexico and eventually to the U.S.-Mexico border admits that she is seeking a job and a community more safe from drugs, neither of which would make her eligible for asylum.
In an interview with NBC News, a migrant identified as Karen Aviles from Honduras traveling with the caravan said she was looking to go to the U.S. to get a job and to provide a safer area for her daughter, whom she said was getting involved in drugs.
NBC News notes, “Among [the caravan] is Karen Aviles.
She hopes to reach the U.S. and find work to send money back home.â€[Emphasis added]
“I came because my daughter was getting lost to drugs, to rescue her. She was out on the street,†Aviles says. “I left my six children there. I’ve brought two … the oldest ones. The little ones can wait.â€
“I hope that perhaps other countries can help us because in Honduras we haven’t found it,â€Aviles continues. “I am a single mother, things are not good. Also, to help the children, the family. It’s tough, it’s tough … for the family.â€
Though members of the migrant caravan have been portrayed by the establishment media as “asylum-seekers,†fleeing drug-fueled communities and looking for work are not grounds for asylum in the U.S.
