I realize the filth simply know how far or fast people walk, because they're all about app controlled e-scooters, but since

the average person only walks at about 3 mph, the migrants had to cross about 2200 miles in total,
Every day for 4 straight weeks they would need to move 26 miles.

26.

That “political asylum” really pushes people to their physical limits

They could easily thru hike the Appalachian Trail in 2.5 months.

It should also be noted that the women lost no weight during the journey.

You don't think they can hitch rides?

They walked about 200 miles in 3 weeks and then took a bus.

If you can board a bus you're not seeking asylum.

You're traveling.

It’s gotta be logisticaly difficult to travel as a horde via hitchhiking.

Well that's only about 9 hours of walking in a 24 hour day. (3 miles/per hour * 9 hours = 27 miles per day) It's not like they have jobs other than walking; and most US citizens work 8-10 hours a day so it is plausible that they are walking that much since they want to contribute by working in the USA.

However; You do math bad!

2,200 miles at 26 miles per day equals 84 days. You just forgot to carry the one and multiply by the square root of never. They would actually need to cover almost 75 miles a day to do 2,200 miles in 4 weeks. But I think they had buses take them part of the way or at least from Mexico City.

To put that into perspective - that's almost the same length of the Appalachian Trail.

I don't know of any malnourished women with children in-tow that have accomplished such a feat.

The California Missions are 30 miles apart...30...symbolic because it was seen as a 3 days journey on foot.

Jesus 3 days and 3 nights.

Marine Corps School of Infantry, final hump is 26 Miles. Guys are in post-Boot Camp and SOI shape, pretty much ridiculous shape. Takes the better part of a day, breakneck hump pace and afterwards knocked out for a day. So, that’s a comparison.

And, the day after that isn’t much better.


Walking in tennis shoes feels like something sent from Heaven.

May 1987, Harmony Church-Ft Benning Ga, I did that 26 miles with the ruck loaded down with 50+ lbs, get to the camp site..

Dumbass Full Bird didnt reserve it, it's taken, so we have to walk another 6 miles to another one.

All the while the two gungho LSU clowns I had enlisted with, had ducked out completely with medical profile BS, and were riding in the Deuce with the gear just grinning away..assholes!

I'm totally flatfooted, had calloused feet that didn't even bleed when about 3/8ths of my heels were shaved with a cheese grating looking tool by Meds the next day.

The weight of the ruck chafed and bruised my armpits to shite too.

With no gear an easy march..but in old leather boots & old Army issue socks with loaded 50+ lb ruck..Hell!

Cool story. Sounds like they work harder than you do.

None of them are seeking “political asylum “ and they reached so-called safety way back when they crossed into Mexico’s southern border. Also, if this many people are fleeing can you really be mad when Trump says your country might be a shithole?

I've been saying this for weeks. It's comical that anyone believes they actually made the walk

I'm here to tell you that no one on tigerdroppings knows even five people who can make that walk much less 5 random schmoes in various levels of physical conditioning.

26 miles a day everyday for multiple weeks would take out most professional athletes much less families
