IMMIGRATION Honduran migrant caravan grows to 4,000 amid spike in U.S. border crossings.....
NBC ^ | 10/17/2018 | Julia Ainsley and Abigail William

The Mexican government has sent 500 extra federal police to its border with Guatemala in anticipation of their arrival, say documents obtained by NBC News

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is tracking the caravan as the Hondurans make their way north toward the U.S. border. Meanwhile, the State Department is trying to stave off that possibility by compelling the Mexican government to stop them at its border with Guatemala.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will travel to Mexico to meet with his counterparts on Friday, and plans to stop the caravan will be a "prominent" topic of discussion, a senior State Department official told reporters on Wednesday.

"I am certain that there will be conversations in Mexico about how we can work together on this issue," the official said about the caravan. "We are certainly looking for concrete results and for solutions that work for both countries."

I hope PDJT puts the hammer down and mentions to Mexico’s and Honduras’ presidents that consequences will be hard hitting and not just financial if this mob continues and is not 100% stopped.

Ones that the USA has either NEVER seen before, or ones which we eradicated at anywhere from a century to 5 decades ago.

And the idiotic Americans, who are anti-Vaxers are the ones who, as adults and/or their kiddos are the ones who are going to get ill and perhaps die.

>>> 500 extra police is nothing to a mob of 4000 people who want in.
>>> How did that work in Europe because this is exactly the same thing.......

You may be right, but the Mexican government is far more brutal than those pansies in Europe.

Believe me ... the Mexican government is willing to crack some skulls over this if Trump threatens to yank the
$320 million in foreign aid the US gives to Mexico yearly.


It's nice to see a POTUS willing to use that leverage.

It disgusts and upsets me greatly!

Those who support these INVASIONS, whether overtly or silently, are complicit in this CRIMINAL, undeclared WAR on this nation and her populace.

Sarah Sanders said...... 75% of the parents choose sign off and to leave their kids in the US and then they go back to their country. So this is why we’re seeing all these kids in this group now........they intend to drop off their kids no doubt.

You are right.

Actually, the cartels are the ones more likely to leverage the Mexican government (and when I say leverage, I mean threaten to
kill Mexican govt officials) if they STOP this caravan.

Because this caravan represents TENS of MILLIONS of dollars to the cartels in human trafficking.


I hope that President Trump uses this as an opportunity to get the Mexican government to crack down on the cartels as well.

You know how DJT is always thinking several moves ahead ...

The parents now know that they can leave their kids in the camps and then weight til they think Dems are back in control who will let the parents in later.

The idea is to get their kids here...a foot hold....even if they are turned away. US now the S. Americas babysitter nthe Dems back in power and open the borders.
