Why are they moving in a caravan? Why wouldn't they? Who doesn't like a caravan? The night, and stars that shine so bright. The myst'ry of their fading light. That shines upon our caravan. This is so exciting, you are so inviting Resting in my arms As I thrill to the magic charms.

More details on the news item(s) that caused the Trump Easter morning Fox-News-inspired freakout @ WaPo, Why U.S.-bound ‘caravans’ of Central American migrants are getting Trump’s attention by Alex Horton:

Why are they moving in a caravan?

The Fox News opinion segment was in response to a BuzzFeed report on Friday that more than a thousand Central Americans, primarily from Honduras, were winding their way up through Mexico to the U.S. border on a nearly month-long trip that began March 25. These migrants are looking to seek asylum from criminal elements back home or slip into the United States undetected.

Moving in a large group is expected to blunt the efforts of criminal gangs and cartels known to isolate and later rob immigrants, many of whom bring large sums of money to make the long journey north through Mexico. The caravan organizers, Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, appeared to have concluded that it is safer for these people to travel together.

That trip can be deadly as people find their way along various routes that go directly north to Texas, northwest to Arizona or along the coast to California.

Just about every route is more than a thousand miles long and is canvassed by robbers and corrupt police who shake down the immigrants, who have little access to legal recourse. A network of commercial locomotives is veined throughout Mexico in a 1,450-mile cannonball run. Migrants ride on top of the trains, occasionally falling off and breaking bones or suffering severe dehydration.

Members of the caravan said they would attempt to ride the trains, but in 2014, more guards and trains moving faster through stations made it more difficult for migrants to catch rides.

Migrants have many names for the trains, such as “El tren de los desconocidos” (the train of the unknowns) and “El tren de la muerte” (the train of death). But its most common name is “La Bestia”: the Beast.

What is Mexico doing about the flow of migrants? [....]

Time for an alternative perspective:

Oh, this morning are you disappointed by something? Are you disappointed
about some experience that you’ve had in life? Well, don’t give up in despair. You’re
just in Good Friday now, but Easter is coming. Are you disappointed about some
great ideal that you had and you felt that you would have achieved by now, but you
have not achieved it? You have somehow been caught in the moment. You have
some how been caught at a point at which it seems that you can’t get out. Well, don’t
give up in despair. If you will just wait, Easter wll come. This morning, have you had
some high and noble ideals? Have you had some high and noble hopes, and it
seems that they have been blasted by the years? Well, don’t gve up. Don’t despair,
because Easter is coming. And this is the thing that men through the generations
have learned when they live close to Jesus Christ, that Easter can emerge, and that
all of the darkness of Good Friday can pass away.
