Last year, we saw endless lines of thousands of Rohinga refugees filing out of Myanmar into Bangladesh. This year, it's similarly endless columns of 7,000 refugees marching ten abreast up a highway towards the U.S.
Trump, without so much as a shred of evidence, denounced the Honduran exodus as a "National Emergy" – apparently he can't be bothered to spell "emergency" correctly – filled with criminals and agitators from the Middle East.
I wonder how he would have described the biblical Exodus. Certainly there were fugitives from justice in that migration. Moses himself was considered a criminal. So was any person fleeing from slavery. And they were all – all -- Middle Eastern malcontents.
"We're not migrating, we are fleeing," a man called Timothy from the city of El Progreso told a reporter.
