A new migrant caravan is forming in Central America, with plans to leave next week

Source: Washington Post

MEXICO CITY —Another migrant caravan is forming in Honduras, with plans to set out next week on a journey that will once again test the immigration policies of Mexico and the United States.

In much the way last year’s Central American caravan originated, a flier is circulating on Honduran social media. “We’re looking for refuge,” it says. “In Honduras, we are being killed.” It advertises a 5 a.m. departure on Jan. 15 from the northern city of San Pedro Sula.

The Mexican government says it is preparing for the group’s arrival.

“We have information that a new caravan is forming to enter our country in mid-January,” Olga Sánchez Cordero, the interior minister, said at a news conference Monday. “We are already taking the necessary steps to ensure the caravan enters in a safe and orderly way.”

That'll get the Trumpers all revved up again and foaming at the mouth of us being "invaded."

A caravan for mid term elections and a caravan for this wall fight. I don't trust Trump and his forces of evil at all.

Get here before the harshest of the hot, dry, weather makes crossing deadly.

The timing makes sense to me.

Unless, of course, the caravan is organized and sponsored by Russia ...

Why did we never hear about these scary caravans before the imbecile in the White House made illegal immigration his #1 boogeyman?

But how often do they form. I've never heard of two forming back to back before. Not saying they don't just never knew that they did.
