Members of the caravan traveling from Central America are talking about rushing the border en masse to provoke the Trump administration and make it across the border, Fox News reported.
"They have that intention,” Sergio Tamai, a founder of Angels without Borders, a group helping the migrants, told Telemundo 20 in San Diego. “I believe that thousands could make that jump."
Over the last two weeks, at least 3,000 illegal aliens have arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, just south of San Diego, California. The Mexican federal government, however, anticipates that number to rise to 10,000 in the next few months.
The caravan riders have camped out in Tijuana in hopes that President Trump will grant them asylum, although some are growing impatient.
“Most of us, yes, we want to be on the other side,” Honduran caravan rider Jorge Molina said. “Some want to jump over the wall, others to go another way, and others want to wait and see what kind of response they get.”
A judge on Monday ruled that the Trump administration cannot ban caravan riders from seeking asylum.
There are currently 5,800 active duty troops stationed at the border to keep the caravan riders from illegally crossing into the United States.
President Trump has vowed to keep caravan riders out of America. He reiterated his position again on Wednesday.
So far, Mexican officials say they have arrested 34 caravan riders for drug possession, public intoxication, disturbing the peace and resisting police. Those who were detained will be deported back to their home country.
Overall, Mexicans who live in Tijuana are not happy about the caravan riders taking over their town. Tijuana residents protested the caravan riders this past weekend, yelling at them to "get out" and "go home."
According to Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum, the caravan riders have been "aggressive and cocky" and caused chaos in his city.
Tijuana officials are now preparing for a border rush.
"A human stampede would be an immediate provocation to the U.S.,” Manuel Monárrez, a Tijuana councilman, told Telemundo. “And justify [President] Donald Trump to impact the binational dynamics of the economy.”
That’s an invasion by any definition. If they do, open fire.
Our military or police should have effective countermeasures.

M18s, placed about 20 yards apart about 50 yards inside the borders.

No doubt they do. A human stampede into razor wire fencing will be a sight to behold. I’m sure the commie MSM will make the most of it and we’ll all get to see it on the news.
IF rocks, fire bombs, etc. get thrown, I suspect they’ll be met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and whatever else they have in store for em. And IF it gets real bad, they’ll have to open fire with live ammo. The invaders will lose when the dust settles. IF they were smart, they’ll go back or take the generous asylum offer of Mexico. Whoever is funding this, needs to be hanged. I smell odongo and soros.
Why wouldn't you arrest them for violating your southern border and deport all of them.?
Trump has a lot riding of this and it could break him. Hell, the Dem house could impeach him for failure to safeguard our nation. The senate wouldn't convict but it would be there for any 2020 campaign.
Just open fire on the first ‘RAT mob and see how many more want to die.
A couple of A-10s could change their mind and send their thieving asses scrambling back to their beloved Honduras.
1. fence
2. non-lethal crowd controls like tear gas, several more...
3. live fire as necessary.
any of these “invaders” can (and should) leave the mob...
and simply apply for admission ...
we need to check them out to make sure they’re not serious criminals or Moslem/terrorists, etc....
Stupid question...
According to the left...the caravan is seeking asylum due to the violence in their own countries, yet the left also argues that US has the highest rate of violence, specifically gun violence, racism, sexism etc.
Hmmmm?
Mark Dicd has a video wherein the people of Tijuana are calling at invasion. So, Mexico can call it an invasion, but we can’t. Of course.
Plenty of good, non-lethal weapons for the military:

That was the plan all along. The Soros funded organizers feared a backlash if this invasion had happened before the elections. Now with a Democrat controlled House, the hope is the invasion will provoke Trump to react and then this staged “atrocity” will be used as a reason for more hearings and impeachment.
No US commander will issue and order or real of engagement to fire on unarmed people climbing the wall or rushing traffic lanes.
Popcorn, Please.
