Despite media claims to the contrary, election Mexican officials previously promised to allow the invasion of Central American migrants. There is a history here.
The heavily financed horde of Central American migrants has overwhelmed the token resistance from Mexican military and advanced north toward the Southern U.S. border. As described by the Associated Press today: “growing army of migrants resumes march toward US.” This is a well financed, well organized, left-wing political operation strategically timed to reach the U.S. border and coincide with the 2018 mid-term election.
Estimates as to the number of economic migrants varies between 7,000 to 10,000 and the numbers are growing fast as they are now facilitated by, and joined by, ideological comrades within Mexico. The ‘invasion force’ is now more than two-miles long. The group claims to be fleeing violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, yet the group has deployed violence against Mexican officials who are vastly outnumbered.
President Trump has requested that Mexican officials stop the advancement of the massive group and praised any efforts therein. However, it appears there is a disconnect between what actions U.S. officials think is happening – and the actual advancement on the ground. Those marching toward the U.S. are no longer finding any resistance.
As explained in a USA Today review: “Sunday the crowd was large and the mood mostly ecstatic. Olivin Castellanos, 58, a truck driver and mason from Villanueva, Honduras, said he took a raft into Mexico. He hopes to work in construction in the United States.” “No one will stop us, only God,” he said. “We knocked down the door and we continue walking.”
Initially the group was between 3,000 and 5,000. However, in the past 36 hours the numbers have grown considerably; seeming to double in size overnight.

This is the lefts last resort, their scorched earth policy. The Latin American hordes are only too happy to accomodate the desperate demoncrats..
I hear some are ISIS terrorists too.
your thread has a twin, so I am posting the same thing to both, because I can. :)
none of these people are employable but, when they get here, they will knock down the doors to our homes. Because that’s what savages do. Can we look at colonial history a little clearer now?
It’s hard to envision an event that would further escalate the red wave more than this invasion.
It’s perfect for trump and the republicans.
Not really, if it is not stopped it is the Republicans who will face a backlash. THEIR people are getting extremely ticked off due to failure to act.
Heading toward sanctuary cities, no doubt. Failure by the DOJ to go after these lawbreaking politicians is constantly coming back to bite us.
They should be informed there is no room at the inn... and turned back...
Migrants stop in Tamachula; his next goal is Huixtla, in Chiapas, to then go to Oaxaca

The caravan of thousands of migrants who left Honduras last week will spend the night in Tapachula, Chiapas, from where they will depart at 04:00 hours to Huixtan, in the same entity, to march to Oaxaca in the coming days . The objective of the caravan is to reach the border between Mexico and the United States, which means a journey of 2,000 kilometers to the northeast or almost 4,000 kilometers if you opt for the northwest route that leads to Tijuana.
The first members of the c aravana began to arrive today in the city of Tapachula , among exhorts of the migration authorities to regularize their legal status. On their way, the Central Americans have received
demonstrations of solidarity from Chiapanecans who have gone out on the road to deliver water, to lend their cars to ease the passage of migrants.
Trump warns that if migrants from the caravan do not apply for asylum in Mexico, the US will reject them
Tapachula, Chiapas, October 21 (EFE) .- The city of Tapachula , Chiapas , today received closed shops thousands of Honduran migrants who arrived from the border with Guatemala on their way to the United States.
The travelers entered the city after a long journey of about seven hours in which they traveled the 40 kilometers that separate Tapachula from Ciudad Hidalgo, on the border with the Guatemalan Tecún Umán.
During their journey to stop in the central park of Tapachula, they could see closed shops, as well as people and civil organizations that brought water and food to migrants from Honduras.
Sources from the organizers of the caravan confirmed to Efe that the caravan will spend the night in Tapachula to leave at 04:00 hours to Huixtan, Chiapas , to march gradually to the state of Oaxaca in the coming days.
In the central park of Tapachula, the migrants took an area surrounded by trees with a dome of approximately 20 x 20 meters, where they came to rest and others stopped under some portals in the same place.
In Tuxtla Gutiérrez, capital of Chiapas, the elected President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, asked the state government for protection for the caravan of Honduran migrants .
During their journey between Ciudad Hidalgo and Tapachula, the migrants were monitored at all times by agents of the Mexican Federal Police and by immigration personnel, who at least once asked them to regularize their illegal stay in this country.
The Delegate of the Immigration Institute, Francisco Echavarria, sent a message to migrants to regularize their stay in Mexico and reiterated that this country offers them the possibility of applying for refugee status.
“They can not continue in Mexican territory in an irregular manner,” Echavarría said, asking them to respect the legal channels to regulate their stay and offer them a place in the shelters that the Government has established for this occasion.
The migrant caravan, with some 5,500 people, left last October 13 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with the goal of reaching the United States.
I said earlier today that it will be 50-100,000 by the time they get to the border.
“One has to wonder if this wasn’t put together because the Dems seem themselves getting thrashed in the election,”
Yes, it is, along with screams about ending Social Security, enslaving women, and the Saudi Thing.
We just aren’t fighting Democrats, folks, but a worldwide billionaires Cabal that are salivating to wreck America, and profit from the chaos.
Normally I’m pretty mellow and moderate. But I’m tired of this crap. We’re being invaded. Landmines!
according to google, san pedro sula, honduras to tapachula, mexico is 426 miles (686 km) by road. On the road 7 days, the caravan is traveling 20 miles per day. Tapachula to Huixtla which it is their goal to make by this evening is 41 km (26 miles) by road.
tapachula to oaxaca city is 677 km (420 miles). That is 21 days by foot at their current rate. They could make it by Nov. 11.
oaxaca seems a bit out of their way to me if they want to get to reynosa or brownsville texas. (the closest usa territory). with mexico shutting down the beast trains, oaxaca city and mexico city are hundreds of miles out of their way— unless they want to disperse and/or take buses.
oaxaca, mexico to reynosa, texas is 1309 km (813 miles), and 16.5 hours by car / charter bus. They could make it by Nov. 12.
However, if they get bus help to oaxaca they could make it to Reynosa several days before Nov. 12. In this case, they could try to cross the border at other, more distant places with more buses.
I am not seeing at this moment the detailed planned route if there is one.

Yeah, well it’s getting there.
From their starting point on the S Mexico border to Brownsville is about 1150 miles.
San Diego to Medford, OR - essentially the length of CA - is about 810 miles.
It's a long walk....:^)
The only walking they're doing is to the bus pickup points.
Trump should order the Army Corps of Engineers to dig a trench just inside the border, 30 feet deep and 30 feet wide...and to airlift about 10,000 alligators from Florida to fill it up.
Thank you for setting me straight. I didn’t look up distances, only eyeballed a map. This is good news!
