This past week there was a 15 minute interview on Public Radio with a woman who traveled with a caravan coming up through Mexico. She related a dozen stories of people who risked their lives to make the journey emphasizing the hardships encountered along the way. No mention was made of any women or children being molested. No mention of paying coyotes. No mention of criminals inside the group, no mention of children traveling alone and no mention of drugs be delivered. Here is part of a report from the NY Times.
