The questions you must be asking is who is feeding them? Who is giving them water? Who is sheltering them?
None of them look like they are starving and as any army general will tell you (this mass of people) an army marches on its stomach.
They don't seem to be suffering at all because they have the energy to riot after walking this vast distance and don't say it's through desperation.

I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like women and children to me, that sure does look like a lot, and I mean a lot of able bodied (young) men!

You don't get it. The logistics of feeding that many people is not the locals giving them food to hurry them away. The locals might, I say might, have enough food for a few people but we're talking hundreds at one time. They are NOT living off the land, so who's feeding them?

It doesn't matter if there are ten thousand violent young men shaking a gate, you can bet that msm will be showing either a woman or child being hurt in the process or shot at by border control or the military. I'd put money on that!

Venezuela protests: 200,000 march against President Maduro as riots and looting spread across country
Life in Venezuela, One Year After the Protests
Again, not defending the nastiness that is the caravan, just reminding many that some of those trying to get here are truly destitute and want better and don't have the money or opportunity to do things the legal way where fees are well beyond their ability to pay.
I stay here because I was born here—my life is here, my family. I do not criticize those who left, but for me to leave is to leave a space free for the regime and let it win.

So this meme is circulating on Social media. I've seen it at least a dozen times.
My question is, if migrants have so much fortitude to walk for 3 months for a "better life", why can't they use that energy to make their own country a better place?
Speaking as the son of an 'illegal' refugee, I think that's a question you should explore on your own, rather than ask to have it laid out for you.
Granted, all my father had to do was swim a river, then start from scratch.
My being the son of an illegal is secondary. What is important is for the OP to examine what the circumstances are that have led people to leave their homes in the first place. And why it might be out of their hands to do anything about them. I've been to Honduras. Lotta guns.

I suppose it's not like the rest of us have fo start from scratch eh ? I was 19 when I left home to make a life for myself, without anyone's help. So what then makes your plight better than mine? The amount of media you will get vs me because your father was an illegal immigrant as you stated. Dont get me started on the hand outs galore for those who do immigrate legally, still putting everyone else forward but their own natural born citizens here in this country. That doesnt mean anything about colour either, if you were born here, good luck getting anything from the government but if you immigrated here, well you're in luck buddy heres a free education paid for by me among other things.
Is that what you took from my comment? Did I stutter?

Are you inviting these invaders to Canadia? Because that would solve the problem for everyone. Thanks for being so helpful.
