The Bertrand Report The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues
Ed Note:
The "caravan" gathered in Hermosillo Sonora on hwy 15 this week where arguments between refugees and leaders of the group could not agree on how to cross into the U.S., or if the entire group of 500 to 1,000 should together proceed to the San Diego Port of Entry.
As suspected in my report April 19th, there would be those that break away from the main group in a small town just north of Hermosillo called Santa Ana where hwy 15 meets hwy 2.
From Santa Ana, various splintered groups would likely proceed north to the Arizona border and others would travel east along hwy 2 to Texas.
I forwarded and requested (our network associate and friend John C) a well connected former Secret Service and U.S. Customs Agent, to suggest to his high level contacts to immediately place DHS agents posing as Humanitarian Helpers at two key points south of Nogales Arizona to ascertain nationalities, destinations, and any other obtainable intelligence.
We have concluded, there will be many Mexican Nationals, MS-13, etc that will join these various groups to enter the U.S.
The Mexican Cartel and their operatives will (also) be in those two key Mexican towns, recruiting refugees, including the Cartel's help to assist them by carrying drugs into the U.S., acting as their guides (coyote's) with jobs waiting for them in selected major cities in the U.S.
Note: Cartel operatives near the border either require a minimum of $1,500 to be escorted across the border, or carry drugs for payment thereof.
The odds of all 500 to 1,000 refugees having legitimate reasons for "asylum" is expected to be very low. All others are in the group for economic reasons. A recent poll study of those in the caravan stated "11% is asylum related while 90% was economic related."
Many within the group do NOT want to go the asylum route through San Diego, and leaders of the caravan are contemplating storming the San Diego Port of Entry in mass by running through the car lines. Others in the group say no way and want to take their chances by walking up to USBP agents.
Therefore....the fear of being rejected at San Diego would obviously send splinter groups in other directions along the U.S. southwest border.

Migrant 'caravan' at U.S.-Mexico border prepares for mass crossing
by Reuters
By Delphine Schrank
TIJUANA, Mexico, April 25 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Central American migrants from a caravan that crossed Mexico reunited in Tijuana on Wednesday and planned to cross the border together this weekend in defiance of threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to repel them.
The timing of the migrants arrival could compromise a flurry of talks this week to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump has repeatedly threatened to scrap if Mexico does not crack down on the flow of Central Americans through its territory.
Busloads of migrants began arriving on Tuesday at a shelter that was a five minute-walk from the border and within sight of a U.S. flag waving under an overpass connecting the two countries.
While many rested in tents after a month-long journey across Mexico, others wandered up to the border to contemplate the next stage in their journey.
"The wall doesn't look that tall," said Kimberly George, a 15-year-old girl from Honduras as she looked toward a stunted barrier a few feet away. "I really want to cross it."
Migrants said they fled their homes in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras because of death threats from local gangs, the murder of family members or political persecution.
Moving from town to town, the migrant caravan became a stumbling block for U.S.-Mexico relations after Trump unleashed a series of tweets in early April, telling Mexican authorities to stop them.
More busloads of migrants arrived during the course of the day, overflowing the first shelter. Local migrant aid groups said it was the biggest single group they had seen arrive together as they scrambled to find places in ten shelters.
"Thanks to god we're here," said 34-year-old Aide Hernandez from Guatemala who had four children in tow. She said she planned to seek asylum in the United State. When asked why, she looked down, ashamed to detail a case of domestic abuse.
Volunteers from U.S.-based advocacy group Pueblos Sin Fronteras, which organized the caravan, addressed the migrants to discuss a plan to cross together the main pedestrian bridge into the United States on Sunday.
Tensions flared after a Mexican immigration official suggested they go in smaller groups to the border station.
Some 2,300 miles across the United States in Washington, D.C., Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray met with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to discuss Central American migration, the Mexican ministry said in a statement.
Ministers from Mexico, Canada and United States also met in the U.S. capital as they rushed to seal a quick deal on updating NAFTA.
It was unclear if concerns about immigration could affect the talks. On Monday, Trump threatened to make immigration controls a condition in the NAFTA talks and demanded that Mexico stop people from crossing its territory to enter the United States. (Editing by Michael O'Boyle, Toni Reinhold)
