Caravan won't end in Mexico. Some migrants will risk trip to US border

The caravan of Central American migrants going through Mexico to the US border isn't ending. Instead, its participants will disperse into smaller groups after reaching Mexico City.

While some will stay in Mexico to try to get refugee status there, others will continue north to the US border.

Organizers of the caravan estimate that some 200 or so people will proceed all the way to the US border in the coming days, although the number could be higher. Last year, about 150 went all the way to the border, they said.

Pueblo Sin Fronteras caravan or People Without Borders has organized the event for years. The caravan has always dispersed into separate, smaller groups at some point along the journey. What has been striking is that this year's event has the largest number of people ever, with more than 1,100.

Good news for Trump and us.

The spectacle of an invasion justifies even more so the need for the military on the border.

Unfortunately, whatever military force we put on the border is limited by law to monitoring, intelligence, construction, etc.

why not indict the organizers, this is clearly an conspiracy to violate federal law.

Yup. They are no different than the “coyotes” who charge thousands to sneak a child across the border so “the family” can be “reunited” in America and start receiving the big bucks from the U.S. taxpayers.

Tell them if they attempt to cross the border they will be shot.

Then do it.

WHY are they coming here? Is it because they know Americans are stupid enough to take care of them? Why in the Sam Hill do we entice them here with the promise of them being given free anything? No immigrant should be entitled to free anything. They are either self sufficient or they must be sponsored by someone who is responsible for them.

That is one bloody stupid law. If the military is not for defending our borders then why do we bother having a military?

Past SCOTUS precedent says that until you clear customs and immigration you technically aren't in the United States, so I am hoping you are wrong.

“Shoot them on sight.”

NO! Wait until you can see the whites of their eyes. Then blow the criminals away.

The number increased this year because they thought they could sneak in with the DACA cheaters.

And in a large part to tweak Pres. Trump’s nose.

Everyone knew where he stood on the illegal alien issue.

I’m kind of glad they did this!

It shows how Pres. Trump can get things done. I really do believe he let the Mexican government know they HAD to stop it.

He means business. The organizers lost. Trump looked good and decisive. The media lost.

What’s not to like?

Sure, illegals will still attempt to enter every day. But this was designed to be outrageous, and they “walked” right into Pres. Trump’s strongest suite.

It's not really an insoluble problem, now, is it?

Aka Posse Comitatus. However, should DJT declare we are being invaded, then all bets are off and the full use of military force or some sort of ROE can be used. Used once and wisely will send a message that the border is closed; the MSN will howl at the deaths of so many innocent immigrants - now invaders.

They should be treated to a hail of bullets as they approach the border. This is an invading army, not a legitimate immigrant.

No that’s the Posse Comitatus law - look it up. It is mainly to prevent the use of the military against citizens. However, with millions crossing our border over the years and the smuggling, it is an invasion and should be declare as such, thus ending the use of the Posse Comitatus law.
