I believe people are missing the big picture. The exodus of Central America is happening because they know Civil War is coming. They have no weapons or supplies to be hunkering down in a shooting civil war that will encompass the region. I’m guessing they would rather be locked up than dead.

and just focus on the history of the sugar beet business in Colorado as it morphed from Asians to "Hispanics" working the fields. His research of reality embedded in his fictional story reveals the reality.
Most Latin American countries have a history of "revolution" and guerilla factions resisting the existing government, which is customarily been a "dictatorship" even though they claim to be "elected" into office. Mexico is NO EXCEPTION BTW. So the extreme influx of the current "caravans" has NOTHING to do with an "revolution," but it does have to do with the effort to overwhelm the Trump Administration and provide a source of propaganda again the Trump Administration ....
You, like a whole bunch of others, should spend years talking to citizens of those countries in person and on their turf. They are not "escaping" a "revolution" ... they are "escaping" from the failure of their government to share the natural wealth of their country while the government officials live "high on the hog" and come here believing the "pie in the sky" and "gold pot at the end of the rainbow" in the U.S. that will provide them with fast cars and fast women as they have seen FOR YEARS on TV and in magazines from the U.S.
There are some "political" fugitives, but the U.S. has not traditionally (even during the Clinton years) granted "political asylum" to them, but Canada did. Many were trying to get to Canada, but stayed along the way for work to pay off their debt of being brought to this country. Mexico allowed them freely to enter their Southern border ... just like they are NOW!
They believed the U.S. is like the TV show Dallas in its prime time. I know!!!!
BTW: Spend some quality time doing "background" checks on illegal aliens and verifying the identifications they carry with them, if they do carry any when the sneak across the border. Then come back an be an expert.
