The same reason that people have several thousand to pay to a people smuggler to get on a leaky rowboat or to avoid a border crossing.
The same reason that people have brand new Iphones when they are fleeing a war zone.
In short, they aren't fleeing poverty. They are economic invaders.

You can call them economic invaders, but that sounds so innocuous. I think we should call them invaders, just invaders. Some of them are coming for the money, but many of them are coming to fight for an ideology. Those are the ones we really need to stop. Well we need to stop all of them.

Poverty pays pretty well, it turns out!

Lord_nougat, that line sounds like you're channeling Oscar wilde. Lol

...As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them.

Lynnmar, I told my husband they are not turning around because they were promised $20,000 when they get across the border or when they reach some city. I just pulled that number out of the air (out of my ass) at random, and I based my comment on nothing more than the vibes coming from the people in a video. $7,000 is probably a more realistic number, but they all looked like they wanted to get somewhere so they could get something. Your comment verifies my hunch.
Certainly will NOT surprise me. I think why would any woman put their kids in such a dangerous situation or Not pull them out once they see the dangers coming.....but if they figure they go 3/4 of the way and get paid several thousand dollars they may do it. I would be curious what 7,000 is valued at in Venezuela or Honduras

Is this legit or are you being sarcastic?

Because they are fleeing simply because they are entitled to white society. Access to whites is a civil right.

I think it's because they know they'll be on TV.

Same hoax as with Europe. Those are fighting age men with smartphones and better clothes than many full time employed citizens.
