The issue of illegal migrant caravans coming from Central America, through Mexico, towards the United States has reached a fever pitch.

With a caravan of over 7,000 migrants, and the government of Mexico either being unable, or refusing to stop them, the United States government is stepping up. President Donald Trump is sending troops to the border to secure it for their arrival, along with cutting aid to Central American countries with citizens involved in the caravan.

But while the President is working to stop it, payment processing service PayPal is still allowing the group organizing the caravan to fund-raise on their platform.

The group, Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which translated to “people without borders,” has a fundraising link using PayPal directly on their website.

Big League Politics reported on this during the initial caravan back in May, and attempted to get a response from PayPal to no avail, reporting:

Big League Politics informed PayPal about the group hosting a link to a PayPal account accepting donations to support the caravans.

@PayPal @AskPayPal I think this group is violating your Acceptable Use Policy by using funds to coordinate caravans of individuals to break U.S. Immigration law. https://t.co/QfbmpVWMDR

After a series of private messages, and a promised email response that never came, the PayPal account of the group appears to be up and active. Not only that, they created another account for the express written purpose of supporting the caravans.

The group actively helping people illegally caravan across Mexico to the United States border seems to be in violation of PayPal’s own Acceptable Use Policy, stating:

You may not use the PayPal service for activities that:

violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation.

This was told to PayPal, who promised to escalate this situation, but has since gone silent for nearly a month.

In recent weeks, questions have been raised around who is funding the caravan.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) posted a video appearing to show women and children in Honduras being paid to join the caravan.

BREAKING: Footage in Honduras giving cash 2 women & children 2 join the caravan & storm the US border @ election time. Soros? US-backed NGOs? Time to investigate the source! pic.twitter.com/5pEByiGkkN

While it is unclear if there is any major donor funding from people like George Soros, who is known to donate to far-left causes. It is clear that there is some kind of funding coming through PayPal.

PayPal still has not responded to requests for comment from Big League Politics. This story will be updated if any response is given.

Border Patrol Expects 13,000 Illegal Alien Minors to Arrive at the Border in May ALONE

A consequence of Biden’s open borders policy.

Customs and Border Patrol is expecting more than 13,000 unaccompanied minor illegal aliens to arrive at the US-Mexico border in the month of May alone, bracing for unprecedented ‘caravan’ style migration to the United States as President Joe Biden dismantles ICE and opens the immigration system to dubious asylum seekers.

A CBP official provided the projection to the Biden administration on Thursday. The already increasing arrival of child migrants during Biden’s presidency have revealed the “kids in cages” talking point of the Left and the media to be little more than a political prop, with CBP and DHS detaining the minors in the exact same detention facilities.

“We’re seeing the highest February numbers than we’ve ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program,” a CBP official was quoted as telling Axios on Thursday. The border agency expects caravan-style migration to pick up in earnest in the spring months, possibly presenting a genuine border crisis for Biden, who has promised to obey a strict ‘America Last’ approach to the border and immigration.

The federal government was never going to release minors from another country onto the streets of the United States without the support of relatives, or hand them off to the already troubled group home system.

Biden’s de facto invitation of illegal immigration will prove to be an invitation for dangerous journeys from minors from Central America and Mexico. Human smugglers often utilize supposed minors to pose as family units in hopes of amnesty from the United States. Many of the unaccompanied minors who arrive in the United States have been instructed to come to the country in hopes of enabling legal residency for the adult family.

The Biden administration is actively expanding minor detention centers in response to the current surge of illegal immigration, with previous faux-moral sanctimony about ‘kids in cages’ demonstrated to be little more than political propaganda. If you don’t want to detain illegal alien minors in federal facilities, don’t create border policies that serve as a de facto invitation for smugglers to traffic them.
