Caravan of Migrants Seek Jobs,Not Asylum in US; Most Insist No Work in Central American Nations

Migrants traveling with the 7,000-strong caravan headed to the U.S.-Mexico border are admitting that they are merely foreign workers looking for jobs, not asylum, the Breitbart website reports today (October 23, 2018).

President Donald Trump, who called the migrant caravan a "national emergency," has cut off foreign aid to Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador for failing to prevent the flow of migrants.

Evin Mata, a 21-yer-old previously deported illegal alien, said that his travels with the caravan to the southern border are about getting a U.S. job, which is not an eligible claim for asylum.

"We are workers," Mata said. "What are we supposed to do in Honduras if there's no work?"
