“Just watched 2 groups of Africans from Congo and Angola cross illegally into Mexico from Guatemala across the Suchiate River on tube rafts,” The Epoch Times’ Charlotte Cuthbertson posted along with a video on Twitter. “8 men, 4 women, 6 kids.”

One guy from Angola said he took a boat to Colombia (10 days), walked through jungle for 10 days, and has spent 2 months getting this far (to Mexico). Angolan woman said she flew to Panama first. She has a 2yo with her. pic.twitter.com/t13UPNinLV — Charlotte Cuthbertson (@charlottecuthbo) June 27, 2019
