     Is it only me, or are more Americans looking to foreign media organizations for truthful details regarding major news and information?

     If you listen to or view the latest dust up about Central American migrants preparing to invade across our defenseless Southern border, you might get the impression, we are about to use our military armed forces to ward off such an attack.

     You probably will walk away with a much different view after reading this account of the 'caravan march,' appearing at The Japan News webpage.

 "Migrant caravan stops in field in Mexico seeking visa advice"

The Associated PressMEXICO CITY (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump is warning about “caravans” of migrants heading to the United States, though the caravan of Central American migrants supposedly moving across Mexico toward the border was strikingly immobile Monday

      The group of about 1,100 people, most of them Hondurans, had been walking along roadsides and train tracks, but they have stopped to camp out at a sports field in the southern Mexico state of Oaxaca. They are waiting and getting advice on filing for transit or humanitarian visas in Mexico.
Many headed to the field’s stands to shelter under the awning from the hot afternoon sun. As night fell, the migrants, many with children, lit fires to cook their meager rations.

      While a group of about a couple of hundred men in the march broke off and hopped a freight train north on Sunday — probably to try to enter the United States — the rest seem unlikely to move until Wednesday or Thursday. Those are probably going to take buses to the last scheduled stop for the caravan, a migrant rights symposium in central Puebla state.

      Irineo Mujica, director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, the activist group behind the annual symbolic event, said the caravan would continue only to the city of Puebla southeast of Mexico City, “but not in a massive way.” After the symposium, some migrants may continue to Mexico’s capital, where it is easier to make an asylum claim. Mujica said about 300 to 400 of the migrants say they have relatives living in Mexico and so may consider staying here at least temporarily.

      While there were reports Mexico was seeking to end the caravan, it was for all intents and purposes over. The participants were never equipped to march en masse to the U.S. border or anywhere near it. No one was walking late Monday, and Mexican immigration agents showed up offering people help in signing up for various kinds of transit and humanitarian visas. The large number of children present made any move against the camp unlikely.
