CNN’s Weir Quotes Woman in Migrant Caravan Undeterred by Trump: ‘God Will Have the Final Say’

‘Incredible just little taste of the fortitude and the determination and desperation motivating so many of these people’

EXCERPT:

WEIR: “I thought that they are among the lucky ones made it through for processing but she had gotten separated from her little girl, had to go back on the bridge and spend a day there and then ultimately took that ride. And I asked her, you know, what made you do that. And she said, I’m doing this for my kids. Their father is dead. They’re hungry at home. We have no other options. She saw the caravan, she said this is my chance to taste the dream of a better life. Wouldn’t your mother do the same for you? And I said, you know, President Trump is threatening to turn you away. They still have 2,000 miles to walk to fulfill that dream. And she says I’ve heard this, but God will have the final say in our fate. So, incredible just little taste of the fortitude, and the determination, and the desperation motivating so many of these people, Jim.”
