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.”
Just close the border down with the exception of legal commerce. “””
NO- CLOSE it completely.
When the commercial aspect of all of this starts to really hurt Mexico, then Mexico will get busy & round these people up & get them back south of their own borders.
Until then, everyone is asking America to solve this problem.
The organizers & financial supporters of these INVADERS need to be punished.
As for all of the Liberal posters here on FR who are criticizing Trump——DO YOU WANT ANY OF THESE INVADERS ON YOUR PROPERTY OR IN YOUR HOUSE?
I would bet now.
I will defend my property & I will do so with lethal force. I don’t give a hoot whether they are ‘armed’ or not.
Their sheer mass is threat enough.
A squadron or two of Abrams Tanks, loaded with XM1028 Tungsten Canister rounds. Half a mile back from the border.
LET them rush the border. They won’t last long. . .
Hell, the Dem house could impeach him for failure to safeguard our nation.
Sadly, we are nearing that point. Even more outrageous, of course, is that it appears the UN would support such an impeachment under the theory that impeding the right of migrants to migrant would constitute a crime against humanity.

That sounds good
Oh, piff...and again I say, piff!
"Impeachment" will have the political and historical significance a Nobel Peace Prize has attained. IOW, a running joke.
I’m sure it will all lead up to a “Kent State” situation, followed by decades of Mea Culpa.
Don’t we have people undercover in the caravan? Can’t they spike the illegals’ food or drink? No gunfire necessary.
First, please understand there was a bit of facetiousness in my post.
On the other hand, given the socialist dem's slate of potential 2020 presidential candidates, a well-designed and drawn out attempted impeachment based on everything they despise about Trump could be its best, if not obvious political move.
The effort would be designed to present questions and doubt in the minds of R primary voters. It would be an anti-Trump circus for months on end, and the barkers would be the MSM and the entertainment world. The RINOs and deep state would quietly nod their heads in agreement while pumping their candidates.
Hope you do not end up choking on that "piff". [;^]
Many of us understood that it would be Trump versus the world. We understood that the Establishment wouldn't surrender. It's a fight, a war.
There are no guarantees, and it's not for the faint hearted.
Victory cannot be won until the Deep State and the Dem Media are discredited. The next two years are part of the war and process.
So Cowboy up.
Likewise.
So Cowboy up.
Save your gratuitous advice. Have been ever since the time I was sucker-punched. Back of my head hit an iron column and by the time I could get on my feet, it was all over.
“Trump administration cannot ban caravan riders from seeking asylum”
He didn’t ban asylum as long as the
invaders came thru a port of entry,
in an orderly fashion, at a pace that
was controllable.
