NOGALES, Mexico—In the 35 years Gilda and Juan Francisco Loureiro have been running a shelter in northern Mexico for undocumented immigrants, they’ve never seen a week like this one.
The shelter, called Albergue San Juan Bosco, is perched on a steep hillside looking over the busy border town of Nogales, Mexico. Its walls are painted bright turquoise and tangerine, and its wide-open double doors look west over low hills and Highway 15. Since they opened it, upward of 1 million people have slept there on their way to the U.S. But on the day I visited, it was almost empty.
It didn’t used to be this way, Gilda and Juan Francisco, known as Paco, explained. In the decades since they opened the space to give migrants a place to shower and sleep before crossing the border, the shelter—with separate rooms full of bunkbeds for men and women—would regularly house 100 migrants per night. Sometimes, that number would hit 300 or more, and Gilda and Paco would pull out thin mattresses to fit everyone on the floor.
But today, those mattresses are neatly stacked in a closet, untouched. And the shelter is almost empty—no women travelers, and fewer than a dozen men. That’s despite the fact that April, with its mild weather, should be the busiest time of year for migrants. The place is all but dead. Gilda and Paco have never seen anything like it.
They can only think of one explanation: President Donald Trump.

A few times Greg Gutfeld has said, “Trump IS the wall.”
undocumented immigrants
Illegal aliens
Look, it’s up to all of us to put a stop to this bastardization of the language by the left.
Whenever ANYONE (friend OR foe) uses one of these leftist words or phrases, jump right in with both feet and correct them.
Pro choice ?, Oh you mean pro ABORTION.
Undocumented workers? LAUGH OUT LOUD and say, you mean ILLEGAL aliens don’t you?
Climate change? You mean WEATHER? Yep, the climate changes every day. Sometimes several times a day.
CO2 is a pollutant. NO!, it’s plant food. (stealing that from someone here).
The poor polar bears are dying on ice chunks drifting out into the vast ocean. Ha, ha, ha. Did you know that polar bears can swim up to a HUNDRED MILES? Did you know that numbers of polar bears are INCREASING not decreasing?
Homeless = bums
Rain forest = Jungle
Freedom fighter = terrorist
LGBTQ = sexual perverts (not a pejorative, just a FACT)
Here are a whole bunch more. http://www.akdart.com/libspeak.html
STOP CAVING! STOP being coopted into using their corrupt new language!
STOP using it yourself, and point it out when others do.
WE CAN WIN THIS!
Bring back the use of “ridicule” and “shame”. They have their place in society. F PC. (Forget)
“So who was paying the couple to house, feed and provide showers to “a million illegals?”
The folks staying there are not illegal as they are on the Mexican side of the border. They become illegal when they cross the border.
I would think there would be some activity from people going south.
Still not tired of winning.
Look, it isn’t just a cult of personality. What you are witnessing is the YUGE difference a STRONG President of the United States makes. Just the “perception” of strength is enough to make the rest of the world’s knees knock.
Especially after eight years of the exact opposite.
Eight years of an effeminate, weakling, pussy, president.
A picture is worth a thousand words

It operates both directions according some info I’ve read on the net.
It's time for all of to speak truth to corrupt members of the press. Good start bob.
And find out who’s been financing the operation. Food and running water (SHOWERS?!) up on a cliff in the mountains of Mexico! Sounds like a Soros operation.
I like the fact the illegal border crossing have dwindled to a trickle ICE now has more manpower to deport the illegals already here.
When the wall is built AND IT WILL BE regardless of what Juan McAmnesty and lil Paulie think say or do, the “almost empty” staging area for the invaders to spend their last night in Mexico will look like a full house.
They were never “migrants”. They are ILLEGALS.
But just HOW are they using “disappear”? They could be disappearing into the interior of the U.S. more quickly than they used to. let’s get that WALL up!
Pro-Abortion? Pro-BABY KILLING
Depends on whether they are Mexican nationals or Hondurans, or Nicaraguans, etc. All except Mexican nationals are illegals in Mexico at the time unless there under permit.
Not if we build a wall and cut off the freeloaders' bennies. Then it'll be permanent, and Mexicans will be forced to either try to sneak in somewhere else OR start a "Make Mexico Great, for ONCE" revolution in their own country. For a people who are among the most proud and nationalistic on earth, it's interesting to see how hard they try to get the hell away from their homeland. Looks like deep down they love the idealized, fantasyland Mexico only, not the real thing.
“Mexicans are very stubborn,” he said, “and there is not a wall that can restrain them.”
We'll see about that, Paco.
