Why indeed! They are walking from Honduras to the US, where they have zero possibility of legal entry, only to (possibly) get over the border and find a life of no job or residence. Meanwhile, another country along the path has offered both, only to be refused. Perhaps they have a manifesto to only give their riches to the US? Perhaps they were all just out for a good walkabout? Perhaps none of them consulted their cellular phones to notice the headlines and are completely oblivious to the actions at the US border? Things that make you go, hmmm.
