Many, like Monterosa, joined the caravan after seeing a Facebook posting and said he had no idea who was officially organizing the caravan. He also expressed uncertainty over Trump’s promise to not allow the caravan entry into the United States.
“Only God knows what’s going to happen,” he said.
Carlos Leonidas Garcia Urbina, a 28-year-old from Tocoa, Honduras, said he was cutting the grass in his father’s yard when he heard about the caravan, dropped the shears right there on the ground and ran to join with just 500 lempiras ($20) in his pocket....

Yeah... I suppose as a kid I felt abused for having to mow the lawn but asylum for it??
So.... 2 people out of thousands has you absolutely convinced that they are all not worthy of seeking asylum or coming here for something better or to get away from the violence of their own countries?
You do understand that the overwhelming majority of Americans don't have a single drop of NAI heritage in them right? So even your ancestors came here from another country so who the hell are you to judge?
From YOUR link:
Quote:Among the collection of migrants was Gerson Monterosa, 32, who told USA TODAY that he, his wife and three young children, including a two-month old baby, were determined to get to the United States to escape the lawlessness that plagues the country of his birth.bold mine.
Quote:Monterosa, a factory worker, said he fled after threats from tattooed young men, who demanded their “rent” – a euphemism for extortion – totaling 5,000 Lempiras per month for nothing more than living in his own home. Nonpayment wasn’t an option, especially as his factory job wasn’t offering steady hours.
“They gave me a piece of paper saying that if I didn’t pay them they were going to kill me,” Monterosa said. “They gave a week or they were going to burn down the house.”
“I couldn’t make ends meet,” Monterosa said in explaining why he bolted from the only country he’s ever known.
But keep being a dishonest asshole.
Quote:Migrants moving north on the caravan offered similar stories of suffering indignities, almost always involving poverty, threats and violence in Honduras – long one of the most violent countries in the world, where street gangs control neighborhoods and drug cartels transit tons of cocaine coming out of South America.
You know, if you're going to post a link to support your own argument, it's best to make sure that it doesn't support the opposing side even more. The way you quoted the article was a pathetic attempt to support your own racism.
