I’ve lived on the Mexico/US border since the 1960’s. Even back then, we knew never to leave clothes hanging on the clothesline overnight as they would be stolen by those crossing the river illegally.
Now, the migrants pay a ‘coyote’ upwards of 6k (US $) per person to get them across the Rio Grande river. They are dropped off via rafts on the US side and told to find Border Patrol agents and turn themselves in.
This year alone there has been half a million captured by the Southwest Border Patrol, with an untold number eluding. Since 2014 there have been over 3 million captured. Approximately 25 thousand per month.
The migrants that are able to find work, send their paychecks back to their home country.
Also, once they make it across, there are people whose only job is to help them fill out paperwork for public government assistance and housing. Some of these helpful folks have made their way into Mexico to assist the migrant group.
The opinion in my town, made up of over 97% Hispanics, is somewhat split over the caravan.

This could be political sure, but it also could be comfort in numbers, plus saving the money they would normally have to pay corrupt individuals in Mexico to make it here.

Apologize for this post being all over the place, I’ve been ill for a couple of days.

It is reported the boy's parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and due to their religious convictions, they do not believe in certain medical procedures like blood transfusions, which their son needs.

JOHANNESBURG - The MEC for Health in KwaZulu-Natal Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo and a medical doctor at Addington Hospital are taking legal action to save the life of a five-year-old boy suffering from sickle cell anaemia.

Dhlomo says he took an oath when he became a medical doctor that neither race, sex or religion will bar him from withholding a life-saving intervention for a minor.

It is reported that the little boy's parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and due to their religious convictions, they do not believe in certain medical procedures like blood transfusions, which their son needs.

Dhlomo says they will not back down on this case to save the life of this little boy. The matter has been postponed to 5 December, when the parents will present their case to deny medical intervention.
