Mexico claiming it will disband Central American caravan heading toward US border
American Thinker ^ | 04/03/2018 | Thomas Lifson

It looks like President Trump’s tweets have had an effect on Mexico. Whether or not you believe that our southern neighbor will follow through, at least they realize they have a PR problem, and potentially face some serious consequences for aiding and abetting violations of our border.  Joshua Partlow and David Agren, reporting in the Washington Bezos Post, totally buy into the Mexican PR effort:

The Mexican government on Monday evening moved to break up the caravan of migrants moving through southern Mexico, with immigration officials registering the travelers and suggesting some could receive humanitarian visas while others would have to leave Mexico.

The caravan, estimated at more than 1,000 migrants, many from Central America, has gained increasing visibility because of tweets by President Trump that have criticized Mexico for not doing more to stop the flow of migrants to the southern border of the United States.

Skepticism toward Mexico is the rule of the day on this story. Buzzfeed, with a reporter embedded in the caravan, is less credulous than the WaBezPo:

Mexico’s National Institute of Immigration (INM) said late Monday that it plans by Wednesday to disband a caravan of hundreds of Central American migrants that has been traveling through Mexico for nine days.

Caravan organizers said, however, they expect at least some of the migrants to continue north to the US border. They estimate that most of them will seek asylum or some type of protection in Mexico or the US.

I think that it is fair to conclude that the group organizing and sponsoring this caravan, Pueblo Sin Fronteras (“town without borders”) has provoked a backlash.

(the “migrants” are likely to be no more than pawns),

So were the Chinese that were pouring into North Korea in the 50's.

If they come over the line in the face of direct and immediate US opposition, at this point...it won’t be good for us.

It should never have come to this.

Line up the buses NOW... route them all to San Francisco, Sacramento... etc.

THAT is their natural home and the place they’ll be MOST welcome... according to the Californians who LOVE telling the rest of the US how to live. :)

If they do not stop it, just stop all entry from Mexico until they do. Cars, buses, trains, planes...no entry. Exit is fine though.

I do not believe Mexico

Well, I don't, either - but stopping this column may very well be in their interest, in which case it might happen.

“The words that most often come to mind in this situation are: United States Military!”

“The United States...shall protect each [State] against invasion” U.S. Const., Art. IV, Sec. 4.

Trump says the military will secure the southern border until wall can be built!

Who in the US is funding and organizing this invasion? Find the names, and arrest them for sedition.
