Caravan migrants break Guatemala border fence, rush Mexico (Update)

TECUN UMAN, Guatemala (AP) — Central Americans traveling in a mass caravan broke through a Guatemalan border fence and streamed by the thousands toward Mexican territory Friday, defying Mexican authorities’ entreaties for an orderly migration and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation.

Arriving on the Mexican side of a border bridge, they were met by a phalanx of police with riot shields. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated.

The gates were closed again, and a federal police officer used a loudspeaker to address the masses, saying, “We need you to stop the aggression.”

Waving Honduran flags and carrying umbrellas to protect against the sun, the migrants arrived earlier at the Guatemalan side of the muddy Suchiate River that divides the country from Mexico, noisily demanding they be let in.

“One way or another, we will pass,” they changed, clambering atop to U.S.-donated military jeeps parked at the scene as Guatemalan police looked on.

Young men began tugging on the fencing and finally succeeded in tearing it down, and men, women and children rushed through and toward the border bridge just up the road.

Edwin Santos of San Pedro Sula was one of the first to race past helpless Guatemalan police, clutching the hands of his father and wife.

“We are going to the United States!” he shouted euphorically. “Nobody is going to stop us!”

Yes, we certainly do; but the Wall is meaningless as long as under current law ANYONE (except Canadians or Mexicans) who gets to the United States claiming ‘asylum’ must be allowed in.

Agreed. That is why Justice Kavanaugh was fought so hard by the Left and the Marxists (one of many reasons).

We have "judges" that are nothing more than paid off, stupid, pond scum sucking Democrats. Since President Trump has been in power, they have issued outrageous "rulings" that go so far beyond the law and Constitution as it would be hilarious if it were not so tragic.

They have ruled (Nationwide) that immigration laws and powers of the President do not hold because they "believe" the President was "racist" in his campaign language!!!!!

I am NOT MAKING this up!

So now, we must go before the Supreme Court.

In a sane world, invading armies are met with rifles, machineguns, artillery, and air strikes. We would be well within our rights to kill every last one of them at the border.

We might be there, someday.

Not yet though.

The President is doing exactly what he needs to do.

The Mexican Police just hand this "caravan" a huge loss.

That figures. I had a pic of NWO Bill Clinton point at NWO GHWB’s socks. Link was broken last time I tried to use it.

These are the fattest and best dressed "refugees" I think I've seen in history. Oh, ya. Notice they carry the Honduran flag. Wouldn't this be like Jews marching with the Nazi flag in the lead?

Notice the FLAG in front of the ‘caravan’. Notice the video from right in front the flimsy fence from the Mexican side.
