The caravan of migrants
There are thousands of unemployed Central, plagued by organized crime. ,
Fed up with political instability and the submission of its rulers to the empire, Looking for food, work and a better future are directed to the heart of capitalism to seek help. All authorities met the caravan, pressured by arsonists tweets and comments Trump, they try to stop, but so far neither repression, nor threats of xenophobic ruling yankee manage to stop these thousands of people determined to reach EE. THE.
crossing
Last 12 October, between two and three thousand people began a long march from San Pedro Tula - Honduras, They crossed Guatemala where he joined thousands of Central Americans, For friday 19/10 They reached the southern border of Mexico (State of Chiapas) where some very intense moments were experienced when encountering the border clogged by a contingent of police. Hundreds were thrown at the border bridge crossing the river and swimming pools, after hours of wrangling and insistence even though they were being met with tear gas, the caravan pulled the gates and passed the police barrier.
Shouting "We are not criminals, we are international workers ", more than seven thousand people (of which 1500 are niñxs and 2400 women) They continued their exodus across the cities of Chiapas, They were well received by the Mexican population, who they sympathized are sharing food, water and to transport, a young man died after falling from a vehicle traveling above which.
Reaching the state of Oaxaca, the police again tried to prevent the continuation of the caravan, despite the repression they migrants crossed the road police barrier to the city of Tehuantepec. Peña Nieto provided medical care, temporary employment, documentation and temporary school so they stop at a place, but they did not accept that migrants, nor shelters and state transport because they fear being cheated and deported to their countries, They think now reach Mexico City, Mexico City, there pretend to speak with parliamentarians, with the current President and the incoming AMLO.
The role of Mexico and the US.
In 2013, 1296 people sought asylum in Mexico, in 2017 the figure rose to almost 15.000 applications, of these 9 ten are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. In 2017 They were granted, only, 1907 residence permits, just 13%. The high number of migrants is due to complete crisis in these countries. all, suffers the worst situation for the history of Honduras coup, electoral fraud and currently an authoritarian regime. In these countries there is no source of employment, the business itself is attacked by criminal organizations, high costs make eating is a luxury, these people understand that their countries do not find out.
On this background in the experience it is that thousands are self through social networks, It is a spontaneous phenomenon, no organization or ruling party, seeks to find a way out of the crisis, the experience of these people do not trust any government authority, are seen firm in its intention of reaching North America and it is no coincidence that the fate.
It is evident that the systemic crisis of capitalism is exacerbated increasingly, demonstrating their inability to provide quality of life to all mankind, worse for the decadent yankee imperialism this phenomenon-a result that emerged from semi-colonial countries want to stick him in, in fact, the ghost of migrants and feels in the US, mainly Trump has not stopped bombing against migrants, accused of criminal, which they are Middle Eastern terrorists, that organizes the Democratic Party together with the left and the government of Venezuela, all this says attending the 6 November midterm elections in the US there. UU., It serves to polarize society, encourage xenophobia and pressure the PD to join forces to toughen immigration laws.
further, Trump threatened to cut off economic aid to the three countries from which comes the caravan, Mexican criticized repressive forces for failing to stop the march, He warned that what now seems irrealizable1; militarize the southern border with Mexico US not to allow entry to the country because it is a "national emergency" and reminded his followers the remaining task of building the anti-immigrant wall.
Migrating rulers, the people decide how to resolve the situation
First, We defend the right to migrate from anyone, workers have no border and no human being should be illegal, but it is a forced migration say must migrate rulers, it is they who are subjected to imperialist policies and cause hunger for millions, why they leave, that the people stay in place and democratically decide how to overcome the crisis.
An important step primarily in Honduras and in Central America would convene a constituent assembly to refound each country on new economic and political basis, for the people to decide how to use public money, to invest in state industrial development and create jobs for all LA, ensuring health and education, control the price of basic food products and seek an independent economy and solidarity among the oppressed nations breaking all the unequal agreements and appealing to the selfless cooperation, that the right to self-determination of indigenous peoples are respected and that the land is in the hands of those who work, not landowners, Only with these measures we can begin the transition to another company, ensuring coexistence entire villages without any press to another, these measures we promote in our international current.
Carlos Mareco
1: I say that seems impossible because currently the US armed forces can not be involved in internal affairs civilians, internal repression by the police yankee which already is on the southern border should be. Internal use of military must be approved by Congress. Same, we can expect anything to happen.
