Central American Migrants Begin Hunger Strike In Tijuana (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-30/central-american-migrants-begin-hunger-strike-tijuana)

A group within the 6,000 or so Central American migrants currently stuck in Tijuana have begun a hunger strike to try and pressure US and Mexican authorities to stop blocking their entry into the United States, and process their applications for asylum in the United States more quickly, according to DW.

The group of protesters is part of the more than 6,000 migrants, mostly from Honduras, who have travelled by caravan towards the United States in the hope of applying for asylum and fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries. They are now stuck at the border city of Tijuana, Mexico.

Many of those taking part in the hunger strike are women. -DW

"Since no one is listening to us, we've decided as a women's movement... to launch a hunger strike," announced Honduran Claudia Miranda during an improvised press conference in Tijuana.

A "refugee" going on a hunger strike in a Mercedes hat.

These are the opposite of what we want in this country.

The left can't meme, and they never quite understood the hunger strike game, either. It only works if somebody cares that you're starving to death.

It only worked for Gandhi because he was appealing to his followers to stop the violence. His detractors could not have cared less.

Homeland Security said Friday that a convicted murderer was among the members of the migrant caravan, and was caught trying to sneak into the U.S. late last week.
Until four months ago Miguel Angel Ramirez, 46, was in a Honduran prison serving time for murder, authorities said. On Saturday he was nabbed near the San Ysidro border crossing along with two other Honduran illegal immigrants, having just crossed without permission.
