(National Sentinel) Threat: Though the Leftist ‘mainstream media’ continues to downplay the dangers of allowing thousands of Central American migrants into the United States unvetted, the Trump administration has been warning for weeks that there are unsavory people traveling in migrant caravans.
Now, one active member of the notorious and deadly MS-13 gang has admitted to Border Patrol agents that he melded into a caravan of migrants in an attempt to reach the U.S. and cross illegally, a U.S. official told the Washington Examiner.
The news site reported that Jose Villalobos-Jobel of Honduras was arrested on Nov. 24, after he was seen standing on the U.S. side of the border east of the port of entry in Calexico, Calif.
Customs and Border Protection agents said that Villalobos-Jobel told them he was from Honduras and was currently active with the Mara Salvatrucha 13, or MS-13 gang, which has morphed into a transnational criminal organization.
He told agents that he had traveled with a migrant caravan with the hope of either applying for asylum or crossing into the U.S. illegally.

Media organizations have portrayed the migrant caravans as no danger to the United States and populated primarily with travelers who are fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries. They have also heavily criticized the Trump administration for enforcing U.S. border laws and for attempting to change asylum rules via executive order to make it more difficult for them to enter.
But the Department of Homeland Security said earlier this week that at least 600 convicted criminals were among the 10,000 caravan migrants, citing intelligence sources.
Mexican officials have also admitted that there are criminal elements mixed in with the thousands of migrants gathering along the U.S. border.
It makes perfect sense for criminals and gang members to infiltrate these massive caravans because it’s far easier for them to travel undetected.
By refusing to report this, the establishment media is endangering American citizens.
