""BuzzFeed reporter catches local officials using what appears to be a wall of some sort to keep immigrant ‘caravan’ out of town in Mexico """
Here’s the latest from BuzzFeed’s Adolfo Flores who is following the “caravan” of Central American immigrants as it makes it way through Mexico to the United States. If we’re not mistaken, that appears to be a wall of some sort to keep the immigrants out. Can that be?
(Excerpt) Read more at twitchy.com ...
This March is getting a lot of publicity. It’s going to come to a head and quite possibly tip the scales of illegal immigration towards real law and order.
The Soros financed migrant “caravan” that will make the gypsy migration of the Middle Ages pale in comparison.
Regardless of what the corrupt central government of Mexico says, local small-town Mexico (it’s version of “fly-over” country) is going to respond to defend itself.
I wonder about the logistics of this “caravan.”
The distance from Tapachula, Mexico in southern Mexico to Nogales, AZ is 2065 miles. From Tapachula to San Diego is 2443 miles. How much can a person walk in a day? How far? If they can walk 30 miles every day, without let-up, it would take more than 2 months to reach Nogales, and nearly 3 months to reach San Diego. If they have to stop marching every few days, say, to rest, then that would delay any arrival time further. We’d be looking at August or September dates for them reaching the border.
The mainstream media, in sympathizing with the “caravan” (because the mainstream media hates America), have pointed out that the poor marchers are marching in 90 degree heat in southern Mexico. So, how far can a person walk per day in 90 degree heat? By the time summer hits in northern Mexico, they’d be marching in 100+ degree heat during the day. So, march at night?
How much water would the “caravan” marchers need, per day? Are they carrying their own canteens?
How much food would they need each day? For each person. Who would be paying for it? Where would they stop to eat? How much food are they carrying? Who is resupplying them with food? Or are they overwhelming the grocery stores of small town Mexico?
Where do they sleep at night? By the side of the highway? Carrying any blankets or change of clothes on that march? If any significant portion of them stay the night in some kind of hotel, motel or similar facility, then who would be paying for that lodging?
How much weight is each person carrying? (Food, water, clothes, blankets, wallets, anything else). For the persons holding up signs and banners, are other marchers carrying their supplies, that is, carrying double the weight?
There are other logistical issues: Who will resupply shoes? Does anyone think that a pair of Nikes will make it 2000 miles? What about medical issues? Who is carting along first aid kits and supplies? Or in a 2000 mile march are we supposed to believe that there won’t be anyone stepping on shards of glass, nails, getting dysentery from drinking the water, getting severely dehydrated, and so on? Who is providing security to the “caravan”? Or from the “caravan”? If the marchers are paying their way north, they would be a prime target for criminals (not that Mexico has any criminals or crime! /sarcasm off). If they have trucks carrying supplies with the “caravan,” who is paying for the trucks? Who is paying the drivers? For that many marchers, how many semi’s would you need to keep it re-supplied, assuming no one is raiding small-town Mexico to commandeer supplies?
If they’re hopping on trains, then which trains? Where? At what stations? Or would they be holding up trains, like bandits, somewhere out in the countryside? I can see the Mexican government not giving two cares about “caravan” marchers marching along a highway, but occupying trains? Stopping trains? Delaying freight? If passenger trains, are they buying tickets? How many such passenger trains would they need?
There is a lot here that does not add up.
What's with "catches"? Spin much?

My very first thought was “OMG, think of all those dirty diapers on the side of the road. How many piles of poo will people be wading through to catch up with their families? When will their families decide to wait for the pee-ers and poopers and when will they decide they can’t wait anymore?
All the concerns listed in the article are valid. I can’t imagine the chaos. I hope they decide to go back or stay in remote areas of Mexico. I hope Trump sticks with it to NOT LET THEM IN>
Find out who funded this mess and make them responsible. Arrest them if necessary and incarcerate them to find out who paid what for whom. In the end arrest them in Mexico and really rain on Mexico if it doesn’t assist.
They’re being shepherded and cared for by international globalist forces. It’s the final plank in destroying the West.
“Find out who funded this mess and make them responsible.”
That’s the key————this nonsense,the anti gun marches,and the women’s march are ALL paid for-——and the ultimate goal is complete destruction of the country.
.
That's the answer to a lot of your questions. Another Children's Crusade at the height of the fall election campaign. "What kind of a monster is [Republican Candidate]?" You know those ads are already written too. They just need the footage of soldiers with guns facing down the "children".

With the anglo woman handing out water, food, and supplies through the Mexican fence.
So, who pays for the truck, the woman, her supplies and her transportation?
that california based spanish worded organization meaning “people without borders” listed in some articles it said some people from that organization are out in front (making all the connections and contacts it seems) and then info is funneled to the smaller group leaders of the whole mass of people. it’s well organized behind the scenes and obviously well provided for, food, showers, tee shirts, rides, sleep stops.
Roman armies typically marched 15-20 miles per day. BUT they carried their equipment and were exceptionally fit. For a march of younger civilians like this with both women and children, but not carrying their supplies, I suspect 15 miles per day is reasonable.
The whole thing is a publicity stunt -- they most likely have motorized transport carrying supplies, food, water, clothing, etc. Funding is from outside sources. It is no more of a real march than a July 4 parade.
Sanitation and latrines has to be a major issue. Don't see any pictures of that do we?
If they had to carry their own food, clothing and field shelter across all of Mexico, they would wimp out and turn back in less than a week.
“There is a lot here that does not add up.”
Excellent summary of the logistics of this march through Mexico. I wonder who is cleaning up the “pooping and peeing” that is going on as well.
Also, curious folks wonder who is organizing these events? Is the next march being organized at this time? It probably is.
The government of Mexico has to be involved in this to allow this huge crowd into Mexico and then start walking from the southern border of M to the northern border with the USA.
Looks like our wall over a year later!
The official roadside flower of Texas.
It's because we have so many Mexicans.
You can always tell if Mexicans have preceded you in this state by the filth and excrement they produce.
They aren't going to walk the entire way. I doubt they'll walk even the majority of it. I'm sure soros' minions will hook them up with buses or trains most of the way. I'm also quite sure there is a target date when this will all come to a head. I'm going to be watching who actually blinks on this with interest. I suspect very strongly that these people will ultimately end up to be a burden on our legal and welfare systems.
