Гондурас не прошёл. Мечта о сладкой жизни в Америце накрылась медным тазом.

Замесили мигрантов на границе с Гватемалой. Лирический отступ: я не раз рассказывал, что у нас в кондоминиуме работает эмигрант из Гондураса Хавьер. Очень добросовестно делающий своё дело по вывозу мусора и мытью гаража мастер на все руки. Добродушный весёлый толстячок, от которого я много узнал о жизни Гондураса, хотя никогда не хотел его чесать. Так вот, его очень смешит, когда по утрам я приветствую его словами ¡No pasarán!

Представитель Джо Байдена сказал, обращаясь по Скайпу или Зуму, к Гондурасскому каравану мигрантов, направляющемуся в Соединенные Штаты, чтобы они прекратили свое путешествие, потому что "ситуация на границе не изменится в одночасье". Гватемальские силы безопасности вчера применили резиновые демократизаторы и слезоточивый газ, чтобы остановить  группировку мигрантов. Это происходит всего за несколько дней до прихода новой администрации США, которая призвала путешественников отказаться от своих поездок. По данным властей, с пятницы в Гватемалу въехало от 7000 до 8000 мигрантов, включая семьи с маленькими детьми.
Первый караван мигрантов в этом году прибывает менее чем за неделю до вступления Байдена в должность в среду. Он обещал принять более гуманный подход к миграции, чем Дональд Трамп, который сделал борьбу с нелегальной иммиграцией приоритетом своей администрации. Новая администрация заявляет, что будет работать, над устранением коренных причин миграции (тут я громко хохотал, переводя фразу (will work to address the root causes of migration), расширением законных её путей  и переосмыслением (мы уже все знаем, что за "мыслитель" наш Джо) процесса предоставления убежища.
