Mexico has dispatched two Boeing 727s full of federal police officers to its southern border, as the country prepares for the arrival of a migrant caravan of thousands from Central America.

Five hundred federal police officers in riot gear arrived on Wednesday in Tapachula, Chiapas on the border with Guatemala, where some 4,000 migrants are now marching northward.

The presence of federal forces on the southern border of the country is not to stop migrants from crossing the border, but to help immigration officials maintain order, Mexican Federal Police Commissioner Manelich Castilla Craviotto told Noticeros Televisia.

'The INM reiterates its unrestricted commitment to respect the human rights of migrants,' said Mexico's National Institute of Migration, a government agency that controls and supervises immigration.

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Thursday that he will use military force to seal the U.S-Mexico border unless Mexico intervenes.

'I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught – and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!' Trump wrote on Twitter.

At this rate the caravan should reach our border right around Election Day.

I see we’re still calling them “migrants” instead of what they really are — “invaders.”

When you stop to think, the term “migration” usually implies a two-way activity. Birds migrate in the fall and the spring.

These “migrants” usually don’t go back. Ever.

Small, picky point I realize...

The weird part of this story is someone still flying Boeing 727’s.

Amazing what people can do when they’re properly motivated.

I don't recall Mexico responding like this, the last time.

Did I miss something?

Caravan made up overwhelmingly of young males - just like the Muzzie invasion of Europe.

Either this is a bought and paid for event by the Dems and the drug dealers of Mexico, George Soros as an October Surprise type event...or it’s just a simple, innocent...coincidence....

Coincidence? No, rarely is the universe that lazy. - Sherlock Holmes

Is this is day to start trusting Mexican govt.? I’ll wait a while.

Maybe their police will push away American defenders to get immigrant illegals to the Dem voter ID card booths faster, then to the voucher housing,Obamaphone and full medical coverage lines. Also to find CNN cameras to show crying children being separated from convicted pedophile non-relatives.

So much entitlement, so little time to sign up in America.

Who the hell are these people? Citizens of another country they have no business coming here and their organized group is a literal invasion. I don’t know if they will be stopped but I know they must be stopped for the good of our nation.

Of course it is two way? They come here, and then they ship money and such back to their “shithole”.

I'm not sure if the Mexicans want them, either. Many of them are NOT literate in Spanish, and that is a big problem, to say the least.

Mexico just loves mass immigration, as long as the immigrants are are leaving Mexico and entering the United States. Viva la Reconquista!

But Mexico has little patience for immigrants entering Mexico from the south. After all, some of them might stay in Mexico.

This is either a head fake, and/or the current border rush is about to increase significantly. BUILD THE EFFING WALL....NOW and stop this Shiite.
