After a series of scathing tweets from President Trump, the Mexican government has stopped a caravan of illegal aliens traveling through Mexico from Honduras and on their way to the United States. The caravan was organized by People Without Borders, a far left organization. From WAPO:
The Mexican government on Monday evening moved to break up the caravan of migrants moving through southern Mexico, with immigration officials registering the travelers and suggesting some could receive humanitarian visas while others would have to leave Mexico.
The caravan, estimated at more than 1,000 migrants, many from Central America, has gained increasing visibility because of tweets by President Trump that have criticized Mexico for not doing more to stop the flow of migrants to the southern border of the United States.
An official from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration told BuzzFeed News that Mexico plans to disband the caravan by Wednesday and that some vulnerable people, such as pregnant women or those with disabilities, would receive humanitarian visas, while the rest will be expected to leave Mexico within 10 days or apply for permission to remain in Mexico for a month.
During an interview with Fox News Monday night, Mexican Ambassador to the U.S. Geronimo Gutierrez argued Mexico has a cooperative track record of stopping the flow of illegal aliens traveling through Mexico and into the United States. He also argued Mexico does not promote irregular immigration.

The Mexican government realized that the bad optics of Central Americans traveling to the US through their country in one big circus, completely unimpeded, was going to give President Trump a reason to deploy the military on the border and shut it down entirely, which would have meant the Mexican people also could also no longer get across (the dirty secret is the money sent back from illegals is the only thing keeping Mexico’s leaking ship afloat).
Trust but verify!!!
President Trump is not talking his way out of failing to act on this. He's out of good will from a lot of Deplorables after signing that budget blackmail.
#StopTheCaravan
Where is the#??
This is how you KNOW these are not asylum seekers! This entire event is nothing more than a GEORGE SOROS PRODUCTION via progressive-leftists attempting to TEST TRUMP by hoping he overreacts and harms these people.
I'm sick of this SH*T. All too often lately IT FEELS LIKE OBAMA IS STILL PRESIDENT.
Cut off all foreign aid to Mexico AND Honduras, TAX all remittance payments from the U.S. to these countries, terminate NAFTA, BUILD THE WALL and VOTE ALL RINOS OUT OF OFFICE!!!!
SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD TO THE BORDER!
So you are the spokesperson for all Deplorables? I guess I’m not a Deplorable after all, because you certainly don’t speak for me.
So glad you don’t speak for this deplorable or any of the other deplorables I know who are very much on the Trump Train 24/7.
Why do these freeloaders think they need to seek “asylum” (Libspeak for free stuff) in the U.S.? There are plenty of other countries where they can “seek asylum” in South and Central America as well as the fabulous Mexico. America is not a refugee camp, it is my home.
If they get here, I’d be inclined to hose them all down with that nasty stuff we used for fire fighting foam when I was in the Navy. It’s non-toxic, but it really smells bad. It’s made our for processed fish protein.
“People Without Borders, a far left organization.”
“Far Left” = two months ahead of their time. After that, they’ll be mainstream Left, and only backward racists would disagree with them.
Don't forget Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. We're on the front lines, too.
Your post is exactly right !
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
Face it. unless the 'pubs in the HOR and US Senate WAKE UP immediately (it may already be too late), just about NONE of them are safe. The other side will sic their ginned up armies against all 'pubs with fake or exaggerated claims, just as they did with Roy Moore and the recent HOR elections to fill vacancies.
I brought up CA because yesterday the news reports were that’s where they intended to cross. The other extreme issues with CA are Sanctuary Cities if they get across the border, rogue justices and a Governor and some Mayors who are openly violating federal law.
