NOW CONGOLESE ARE ARRIVING IN THE USA- HOPEFULLY THEY WILL INFECT LIBERALS WITH EBOLA
Roughly 300 Congolese and Angolan citizens who arrived in San Antonio the first week of June after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border days earlier have all briskly departed the city for destinations across the country, some with fuzzy plans based partly on hope.
The hundreds of family members and single adults from Central Africa first showed up June 4 at the southern border’s Eagle Pass and Del Rio towns in south-central Texas. The Africans surrendered to Border Patrol agents and claimed "asylum" after crossing the Rio Grande.
The African immigrants then received bus tickets.
“If a family, the sponsor, it’s been 24-48 hours and they can’t buy the ticket, then we’ll buy it,” Elizabeth Nemeth, executive director of Catholic Charities' west side center said . For a family of five to seven looking to travel by bus to New York, it will cost $2,000, she said.
African migrants are spending six to seven months traveling to Brazil then up to the U.S.
Those entering the U.S. through this route did so because they “were scared the process was not gonna work, or that it’s last a standstill," said Christina Higgs, Catholic Charities spokeswoman for the San Antonio region. Some worried traveling to or through Europe was “getting really dangerous."
“He used the term, and I hate to say it, but they were trying to hedge their bets by coming his way and see if they couldn’t get here that way,” she added.
Officials expect Africans to continue arriving.
