New migrant caravan relying on 'Beast' train to get through Mexico for free

A Mexican freight train carrying more than 400 Central American migrants in the latest caravan group traveling through Mexico arrived in a town just south of California early Wednesday.

Hundreds of people sitting 10 feet up from the ground, on top of the train's cargo containers, pulled into Mexicali overnight. The Mexican city sits just over the border from Calexico, in southeastern California.

The train is known as "The Beast," or "La Bestia" in Spanish. Migrants have used freight trains at a lower rate in recent years compared to how popular it was around 2014 and 2015, when unaccompanied children and families began climbing aboard the trains to avoid paying smugglers to get them to the U.S.-Mexico border.

It's time to put an end to this circus. I for one am tired of having both state and federal government ride my ass for every little dime they can squeeze out of me to give to non citizens and welfare hoodrats

It is time to break down costs in percentages. I would like to see all of america, or at least conservatives to pay for roads and military bcases and what they believe in and not send in money for what we don't believe in such as handouts. To start with an army can not fight when hungary, if we remove food stamps and welfare their army will die off and go away. And no, I do not care about the starving children, they are not mine.

"88 to 100
MARCH 6, 2019

Gender ratio among the African-American population. By comparison, there are 97 white men for every 100 white women. The stark difference in gender imbalances can largely be blamed on the mass incarceration of black men."

More likely the difference is also because they are always killing each other.
