No surprise. An old trend has new life. It was happening before the COVID War, and, now, with economic conditions deteriorating while corruption, crime, and violence are rising, people are escaping their downtrodden nations to find safe-havens.
A migrant caravan from Honduras is making its way to the U.S. due to worsening conditions at home and the hopes that a Biden administration may be more welcoming.
The International Committee for the Red Cross told the Associated Press last Friday that the Central American country has suffered through the coronavirus outbreak and two devastating hurricanes last year. Hundreds of thousands of residents were displaced.
The caravan entered Guatemala and is on its way to Mexico.
“We lost everything, absolutely everything,” Any Ortega, who is in the caravan, told The Los Angeles Times. The paper reported she was living with her three children under a bridge in Honduras. She said the flooding from the storms devastated entire neighborhoods, and the government did little to help.
The paper said there are about 7,500 people in the caravan.
TREND FORECAST: Regardless of the nation, as economic conditions further deteriorate, there will be strong anti-immigration movements to stop refugees from flooding into more prosperous, safe-haven nations.
In the United States, it will be one of the first major challenges for the new Biden administration as the mass of people reach the American border. What will he do?
We forecast that while it will appear the U.S. will welcome them in, in reality, few will be allowed in.
It was reported that an unnamed Biden transition team member, i.e., a cowardice shill, told NBC News, “The situation at the border isn’t going to be transformed overnight. There’s help on the way, but now is not the time to make the journey.”
