The first migrants from a caravan that sparked the ire of President Donald Trump have started arriving at the US-Mexico border and asking for asylum, advocates say.

About 50 Central Americans have arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, according to Juventud 2000, an organization that assists migrants in that border city.

Of those, about 10 have turned themselves in to US authorities at the border. Others are waiting for a larger contingent from the caravan to arrive before they head north, Juventud 2000 Director Jose Maria Garcia Lara said.

While you were preoccupied with Syria.

Turn them away at gunpoint.

[South Dakota]

Enough.
The central americans send us their migrants.

Lets keep or dollars here

They’re not exactly coming with suggled silver menorahs, a strong work ethic, and a radically new application of tensor calculus to theoretical physics.

[EdnaMode]

Stop them!

No problem:

[Alas Babylon!]

This pictures captures just what’s really going on...

A bunch of young teens, sent by their families. As soon as they get across, they’ll demand chain migrations for their Padre, Madre, Hermana and Hermano, and Abuela, and Abuelo, and all of their Primos, Tias and Tios.

Each “refugee” will get in 25-30 people each.

These Sentry Guns from the ALIEN movie would do a good job along the border

Nah, these numbers are more like business as usual at the border.

Of course every one of them is a problem, but this isn’t the near catastrophe folks were predicting.

Even a thousand each day only works out to 365 thousand a year, and we have millions coming over yearly.

[Glad2bnuts]

1,000,000 per year, and the estimate is 11 million are here. The number is closer to 50m as opposed to 25m, I would bet on it.

[DoughtyOne]

My estimate 30-50 million, unless they have been legalizing at a phenomenal rate.

I’ve seen what seems like evidence of this several times.

[Williams]

Absolutely.

[Keyhopper]

That’s what rock salt is for

[mbrfl]

in your thousand mile trek north, did any of you think to ask your Mexican hosts for asylum? I didn’t think so.

[Oscar in Batangas]

I am almost certain that the FIRST county that an asylum seeker touches is the only one required to take them in. So if they are still in Mexico, they are in exactly the right place.
