Honduran migrants disabled on the "Beast" trains hold hunger strike at the White House

Beginning on September 14th and continuing until September 24 (when the Pope is in town) the "caravan of the mutiliated" from Honduras is holding a fast and presence in front of the White House. They are demanding to meet with Obama concerning the hell they have been through. The caravan consists of migrants who lost limbs while riding the notorious "beast" freight trains that are often the only way to get north through Mexico to the US border.

It should not be forgotten that the drugs that the cartels ship are consumed in the US, the CAFTA and NAFTA trade treaties that devastated local economies are a product of US corporations, and the US was responsible for the brutal civil war of the 1980's that devastated El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Syria and Iraq are not the only places in the world US wars and economic exploitation have forced a mass migration.
