A group within the 6,000 or so Central American migrants currently stuck in Tijuana have begun a hunger strike to try and pressure US and Mexican authorities to stop blocking their entry into the United States, and process their applications for asylum in the United States more quickly, according to DW. Several migrants start hunger strike at US border in #Tijuana#MigrantCaravan pic.twitter.com/hNIlrhk7wP — Ruptly (@Ruptly) November 30, 2018 The group of protesters is part of the more than 6,000 migrants, mostly from Honduras, who have travelled by caravan towards the United States in the hope of applying for asylum and fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries. They are now stuck at the border city of Tijuana, Mexico. Many of those taking part in the hunger strike are women. -DW "Since no one is listening to us, we've decided as a women's movement... to launch a hunger strike," announced Honduran Claudia Miranda during an improvised press conference in Tijuana. The migrants face long wait times and an uncertain future as they line up and put their names on a list to be heard for Asylum claims - which are currently being processed at a rate of less than 100 per day. Doing the math, it could be months before the roughly 6,000 migrants holed up in Tijuana shelters and a squalid soccer field camp are processed. Not only that, there is no guarantee they will be granted asylum - as migrants have to show evidence of valid claims. The women were initially prevented from setting up a picket in front of the border immigration offices. "We're in really bad shape," Cindy Pinera told DW. "Everything is wet and that is hard for the babies." -DW The migrants have been camped out at overcrowded shelters and an outdoor sports facility for the last three weeks, while Mexican authorities have begun transporting migrants to a new shelter in order to try and ease tensions and improve the migrants' living conditions as they wait for their asylum applications to be processed - which could take months. In response to President Trump's efforts to strengthen immigration policies and ban migrants who enter the country illegally from applying for asylum, many caravan members have requested humanitarian and working visas in Mexico instead. On Sunday, several hundred migrants attempted to breach the US border, resulting in the deployment of tear gas to stop the group from rushing the fence. Mexico vowed to deport those who "violently" charged the US border in response. Hundreds try to storm the border.

Hunger Strike Bullshit! We have enough citizens in this country who are homeless, hungry and doing with-out Illegal means just that so Send these Parasites back to Mexico's Southern Border. General Eisenhower did it back in the 50's with great success until the likes of Nancy Pelosi's relatives put a stop to the roundup.
Most of those females looked like they could lose 20-50lbs and not miss a beat.

Note the guy wearing the blue checkered tablecloth. Like who doesn't start out a 1000 mile hike wearing Uggs? “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
LA Lakers are really popular in Tegucigalpa, apparently.

Another ten more feet of photo-ops and then back on the buses for the rest of the day's invasion northward.

You bet they are getting some rides along the way. They do not have enough shoe leather to keep them all in shoes for more than a few hundred miles. Maybe they should do like the Vietnamese and make Ho Chi Mihn sandals from old tires. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
The guy in the Lakers shirt appears to be holding a glass of iced tea.

That, or a 16oz tall drawn beer. What a joke is that entire affair; hopefully Trump will shut it all down ASAP. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.
