An organized protest march of about 1,000 Central American migrants slowly traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. border has become a hot-button political issue in Washington, straining bilateral relations with Mexico.
The march is an annual event that organizers say aims to raise awareness about the tens of thousands of Central Americans who, facing gang violence and political unrest in one of the world’s most violent areas, flee every year to Mexico or the U.S. Many are turned back, extorted or kidnapped along the way.
As in past years, the marchers intend to lodge asylum claims with the U.S., organizers said. This time around, however, the caravan caught the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump, who took to Twitter to blast it shortly after a news story aired on Fox News.

border patrol union head don KFI half hour ago. If they put one foot in US they get political asylum hearing. ICE managers fighting trump and not getting fired.
PING-A-LING.
Raises the ire of about 150 million Americans.
I thought to get asylum you needed specific reasons and crime and joblessness would NOT be considered.
.
bwahahaha!!
president Trump just tweeted it is ridiculous but law is weak to stop them. https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/980958298445885446
“Get Some!”
Follow the caravan by satellite right up to the border. Identify the sector where they plan on crossing. Place a massive force of Border Patrol agents on point.
I WANT TO KNOW WHOSE IDEA THIS IS! AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO’S PAYING FOR THESE ‘MIGRANTS’ TO TRAVEL TO OUR BORDER! OBAMA?? SOROS?? BOTH??
Does the United States typically allow them to enter while they assess the asylum claim? I have a feeling some liberal judge is going to say, "Yes! Come on in!"
Have the military at the border waiting for them.
If Trump doesn’t stand up and defy the Congress, the Courts, the Democrats, and the RINOs and order the DOD to send the military to secure our southern border and turn back the approaching invaders, he’s FINISHED as far as I’m concerned, and I for one will NEVER support him again.
The Hispanic caravan raises my ire too!!! Keep them out. There should be no catch and release. Only turn them around and send them back into Mexico
60,000 Americans died of overdoses last year alone.
Why alien loving politicians don’t respond to THAT fact is concerning.
We need to stop this invasion and get the wall built! The national guard should be called up.
Gee, Wally Street, don’t you think a caravan of THOUSANDS of illegals (mostly men!!!) heading this way, and planning to enter/invade, should “raise the ire” of just about EVERY citizen???
Who writes this shat? CommieCore educated interns?
Yep. Turn them away.
Mexico normally enforces their own borders stringently ... at least when the destination is within Mexico, why don’t they enforce it when the destination isn’t in Mexico?
Unless they are from English speaking Belieze, and they probably aren’t, Mexico should take these people in.
Let them find homes there.
Just not here.
Now, I understand why Mexico won’t enforce their border if these people are heading to the US ... they don’t because the Mexican government is not a friend to the United States. They are subversive, an enemy. They seek conquest through population replacement. It’s also possible that they are actively trying to rid themselves of unwanted Indians and non-whites to strengthen the hold of ethnic Spaniards on Mexico and that reconquest is simply a way to convince them it’s patriotic to leave.
We should treat their citizens in this country with the same warmth and welcoming attitude that they treat even lawful immigrants from here, including not let them acquire property. Please note: I did not limit that to those here illegally ... though reasonably I guess it would end up being so limited.
