Edgar Reyes and Jose Villalobos-Jobel came to the United States border as part of migrant caravans. Both are young men from Honduras. That’s where the comparisons end.
Reyes entered the country legally at a port of entry to apply for asylum. He came prepared – 400 pages of documents showing he was regularly persecuted by the government and had reasonable fears for his safety. He was granted asylum and now has his social security card. Once he gets his work permit, he will be able to become an and legal component of American society.
Villalobos-Jobel crossed the border illegally. He had no intentions of seeking asylum because he knew he wasn’t being persecuted. He’s one of the persecutors. He’s an active member of MS-13, the transnational organized crime syndicate that operates through local gangs across North, Central, and South America. He had no intentions of becoming a legal component of American society.
Both of these men represent the two extreme ends of the migrant caravan spectrum. Both have backgrounds that are very uncommon among the migrants. Between them, the majority of those in the caravan are seeking a better life in America but will not be able to get it because they will not qualify for asylum. The system isn’t set up to offer everyone a better life. The asylum system is designed to help those with a reasonable expectation of persecution in the home country.
This is why Mexico’s offer of asylum for pretty much anybody in the caravans willing to take it is so important. Those in the caravan may not get the life they were expecting by working in Mexico, but it’s better than the life they had in Central America.
Are there people in the caravans who are truly escaping persecution? Are there others in the caravan who used them to get to the border so they can cross illegally and become part of the growing criminal illegal immigrant element in America? The answer to both questions is, “yes.”
How It’s Supposed to Work: CBS Highlights Migrant Granted Asylum
For months, the liberal media have made it seem as though the only thing standing between them and their hopes for asylum was Trump’s cruelty, especially when they stormed the border wall. This was all, despite the fact that the parameters for granting asylum were narrowly tailored. During Thursday’s CBS Evening News, correspondent Adriana Diaz interviewed a young man from the spring caravan who was actually persecuted in Honduras and was granted asylum last month.
Diaz spoke with teenager Edgar Reyes. He told U.S. officials that he was beaten by Honduras police forces at political protests and had the evidence to prove it. “A government representative said I received asylum because I had proof of persecution, presenting over 400 pages of evidence,” he explained to her.
One came in through a port of entry, applied for asylum, waited for the process to be completed, and was granted his wish. The other crossed the border illegally and proved to be in MS-13. There are right and wrong ways to do things.
