      1/With people freaking out about the Honduran migrant caravan now forcing its way through Mexico, I figured it might be time for a thread about Central American immigration.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/photo-essays/2018-10-21/migrant-caravan-continues-toward-u-s-even-as-trump-threatens-military-intervention …

      You don't seem to acknowledge violence as one of the drivers of Central American migration. These countries have always been poor. This current wave of migration, like the last one in the '80s, has to do with security, not just economics.

      Mexico's drug war kills something like 30k people per year, and yet people are going back to Mexico, so I'm not sure this is a decisive factor.

          Mexico's also a much bigger country. You can flee violence in Mexico without leaving Mexico itself. Here's a piece from 2015 on the internally displaced in Mexico. Estimates around 300,000 internally displaced between 2011 and 2015.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/03/mexico-drug-wars-thousands-displaced-from-homes …

          According to UN statistics, El Salvador ‘s per capita homicide rate in 2015 was almost 7 times Mexico’s and was the highest in the world (with Iraq and Honduras in second and third place). Local violence is clearly an important motivating force behind current migration from CA.

          I can promise you these poor people in there caravans are NOT carrying DRUGS😡 They dont even have Fucking FOOD. MOST Drugs come into US from ASIA 🙄 and any that come from Mexico come thru legal border crossings in TRUCKS . Not with these desperate people fleeing violence.

          Not in the RGV in TX. The population keeps growing here bc Mexicans have been moving here.The ones that leave go to the Dallas area or other large cities. I visited Mesquite and I felt like I was in the RGV.
