SAN LUIS RÍO COLORADO, Mexico—The U.S. has slashed the number of migrants being allowed to cross the U.S.-Mexican border to legally apply for asylum, as caravans totaling some 10,000 migrants trudge north through Mexico.
Here at the border station across from Yuma, Ariz., 30 families or more normally cross each day, say Mexican immigration officials. But in the last two weeks the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has let in one family a day at most, say migrants and their advocates.
“It really seems like they are trying to discourage people from crossing to seek asylum legally, or trying to get them to go to other border crossings,” said Iveth López, an immigration counselor with Chicanos Por La Causa in Somerton, Ariz. “It’s been bad for a couple of weeks.”
Reports of slowdowns at legal border crossings like this one are becoming commonplace across the 2,000-mile border from Texas to California. Immigration lawyers have complained of asylum seekers being blocked in recent days from entering the U.S. from the Mexican border cities of Matamoros, Reynosa and Ciudad Juárez as well.
Last week, U.S. authorities announced they would “harden” the border at Tijuana, closing four lanes of traffic at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa crossings. As some 1,000 migrants arrived in Tijuana one recent day, border-patrol contractors unwound hundreds of yards of razor wire at the beachside border fence, as guards armed with rifles looked on.
And on Monday morning, thousands of drivers who normally commute each day from Mexico through San Ysidro—the busiest entry point between Tijuana and San Diego—to work on the U.S. side arrived to find the border closed for about three hours during the morning rush.

Winning.
No other President in my lifetime has worked this hard to protect the American people.
Thank God for President Trump.
who has the give-a-sh!t meter, i know i put it somewhere around here...
need some gif help here... :-P
No one in Mexico should get asylum here .
What is Trump and his DHS doing letting anyone over .
Caving
“It really seems like they don’t want invaders invading; I’m puzzled.”
Ya think ?
“Chicanos Por La Causa”
And what is the chicano cause?
To rule the gringos, and take what they have.
Pobrecitos. Invasion force cut off.
“It really seems like they are trying to discourage people from crossing to seek asylum legally, or trying to get them to go to other border crossings,”
No, they are trying to get them to seek legal asylum claims..which will probably exclude most of them who just want US welfare and jobs.
I see the strategery. Trump screwing the the normal commutes from Mexico to US as a catalyst to piss off the Mexicans to take action.
It’s working.
I wouldn’t say Trump is caving. He’s
regained control of the flow, with no
one coming across illegally. The horde
is now a thorn in Mexico’s side.
Shut the border until Mexico removes these invaders .
Mexico let them invade and did nothing .
What country in the world would allow this ?
Shut it down now.
Let Mehico hang on to them for a while. Already working in Tijauna.
After this 2018 erection fiasco, I think we’ve got all of the freeloading commie invaders we need. No more “democrats”. Enough is enough.

And it is going to get worse.
It is impossible that Mexico can’t see the irony in literally (and I mean literally) yelling “we don’t want illegal immigrants” and “they have to be background checked” about these invaders
If Mexico does nothing to prevent mass migrations from transiting their country, they may find the US posture at the border a tad... inconvenient.
What cause?
Winning - great way to do it too. Just like the DMV.
