[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741887, member: 18958"] I lived in Latin America. The people there no matter how poor use cellphones. The poor do not have landlines, nor do such go to the pueblos where most of the poor live, say, in Guatemala. I think that if I was setting out on a transnational journey where the risk of assault and other types of violence was so high, I would want a cellphone. I have not been reading the particulars about the caravan, but I understand it began in Honduras where there is extreme gang and political violence. These people believe themselves to be refugees and aim to try to qualify to receive refugee status at the border. There is a legal mechanism at the border to screen migrants to see if they qualify. These people are doing nothing illegal to try to go through the legal process. [/QUOTE]
