Apparently it’s mostly men who are fleeing Central America for the United States.

Do women and babies have more courage to stay behind, or is this just a setup?

Photos and videos of the so-called “caravan” being shepherded by the US group “People Without Borders” from Central American countries, through Mexico and to the United States shows participants are overwhelmingly men.

A woman in the group estimates there are about 1,300 preparing to enter the United States, legally or not.

Fox News reports most say they are fleeing “violence and poverty.”

And while that doesn’t qualify as “persecution,” Fox says 88% of those who seek asylum get an immigration court hearing.

The caravan has shades of the invasion of Europe when most “refugees” were male.

Pew Global reports:

The percentage of unaccompanied minors among all asylum seekers to Europe rose in 2015 , reaching roughly 7% of all asylum applicants. Between 2008 and 2015, about 70% to 80% of these unaccompanied minors annually were boys ages 14 to 17. About 10% annually were girls in the same age cohort. Since data on unaccompanied minors have been tracked by Eurostat starting in 2008, about 10% of unaccompanied minors annually have been ages 13 and under in any given year.

Since 2008, 39% of all unaccompanied minor asylum seekers have come from Afghanistan. In all, about 77,000 unaccompanied minors, mostly teenage boys, have made the trek from Afghanistan to Europe. A further 19,000 unaccompanied minors from Syria have applied for asylum between 2008 and 2015. And an additional 13,000 unaccompanied minors from Somalia as well as 12,000 from Eritrea have sought asylum in Europe since 2008.

Why is primarily men who are seeking asylum in the United States?

And is that the real objective, or is it to obtain illegal jobs or commit other crimes?

And why is People Without Borders, the U.S. charity helping immigrants to break federal law, still tax-exempt?
