The so-called migrant caravan that's slowly making its way to the
U.S. from Central America is many things to many people. But one thing
seems pretty certain: it's not about seeking "asylum," or "refugee
status." It's about getting to the United States at all costs.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday was blunt. She said the caravan wending its way through Mexico to the U.S. is "not getting in."
"There a legal way to get into this country," she told Fox New Sunday. "Those who choose to enter illegally will be stopped."
Even so, thousands continue on their way. They know from their fellow Central Americans or from their own experience that the U.S. is notoriously lax about its border controls. It does next to nothing once you get here. Even those who are caught entering illegally get a legal slap on the wrist and an order to return to court for a deportation hearing. The vast majority never show up. We do nothing.
