This is the masthead photo from the Facebook page of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, the principal group organizing the migrant caravan. Fists raised in the air, these guys want to be your new neighbors. Apparently, no one explained to them the concept of bad optics.
There is general agreement among those who have studied the migrant caravan issue that the principal organizing force behind it is a rather obscure group known as Pueblo Sin Fronteras (PSF).
As proof, consider this article from the LA Times, which has the following paragraph buried near the end of the story, “Denis Omar Contera, an organizer with Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which is helping the group [migrant caravan], said the caravan plans to rest Monday before setting out again.” When the article says Mr. Contera is “helping” the caravan, it means he’s an organizer.
In an article from April 4, 2018 about a previous caravan, CNBC makes PSF’s involvement very clear when it reports here that, “Abeja is one of the lead organizers of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which for over 15 years has led migrants to the U.S. via caravans to help them to seek asylum in other countries” (emphasis mine).
As CNBC notes, PSF has been at the caravan business for 15 years, so the latest caravan is not the first time around the block for them.
Worth noting too, is what CNBC says about the close connection between the caravans and the Roman Catholic Church.
The caravans are referred to in Spanish as Via Crucis Migrantes, or Migrant’s Way of the Cross. They are fashioned after the Stations of the Cross processions celebrated by Latin American and Latino Catholics to mark and “re-enact” the final days of Jesus from prosecution to his burial in a tomb.
In such processions, someone plays Christ carrying a wooden cross and people from the congregation or community follow him. Similarly, the volunteers from Pueblos (sic) Sin Fronteras and other groups accompany migrants in a caravan that travels in buses, on trains and on foot.
Clicking on the “Caravans” tab of the PSF website makes the connection between the caravans and the Roman Church-State clear. For example, one finds on this page a photo with the headline “Viacrucis de Refugiados” (Refugees’ Way of the Cross) from 2017.
A second photo shows migrants in a van with the headline Viacrucis Guadalupano (Guadalupine Way of the Cross) accompanied by an icon with what appears to be a VW Bus superimposed on an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Want more proof that the Roman Church-State is neck-deep in the caravan movement? In an article from April 2018, columnist Michelle Malkin reported that, “The Vatican itself donated at least $20,000 in 2009 to erect a shelter for Central American illegal aliens through Ixtepec, Mexico, where they hopped on freight trains into our country. Another papal society, Catholic Extension, has poured more than $12 million dollars into ministries along our southern border over the past five years ‘to ensure that those who are on a journey are protected by the Church and that we advocate on their behalf,’ according [to] the Catholic News Agency.”
The logo of PSF’s parent group. Notice the familiar pattern of invoking the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in connection with migration from Central America.
Worth noting, is that there is an interesting Chicago connection to all this. As Influence Watch reports, Pueblo Sin Fronteras is itself, “a project of La Familia Latina Unida, a Chicago, Illinois-based 501(c)(4) illegal immigration advocacy organization.” Also, the Catholic News Agency article mentioned above quotes Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago as saying, “It is at the core of who we are to ensure that those who are on a journey are protected by the Church and that we advocate on their behalf.”
In short, when it comes to human trafficking and the violation of the immigration laws of the United States, Cardinal Cupich is down with it. His own treasonous words condemn him.
