MATIAS ROMERO, MEXICO — After days of walking from Mexico’s southern border, the caravan of hundreds of migrants that has drawn President Trump’s Twitter ire has now halted on a brown-grass soccer field, its participants unsure and anxious about the way forward.

The men and women, most from Central America, were squatting Tuesday in a walled public park while government officials decided their fate.

“We are scared, just like you,” Irineo Mujica, the head coordinator of the migrant caravan, told the assembled group through a megaphone Tuesday morning. “Now President Donald Trump has said that he wants to hit us with nuclear bombs.” ... [seriously?]

Trump should use it, go on the propaganda attack and tweet:
Very sad pic. My heart goes out to these people. If only leftist socialist governments worked FOR the interests of their people.”
“Sad situation. Stop socialism and crony politics now! Drain all swamps”

The crueler things are towards the illegals, the sooner it will end.

“I feel sorry for these people.”

I did, too. For a while. Then I noticed that some have better smart phones than we do. Probably Obamaphones - literally. Or Sorosphones.

Matias Romero is in Oaxaca, which is south of Mexico City.

We have got nothing to worry about.

best fertilizer that field might have had.... in years. Not like US ballfields with fishgut high nitrogen pellet grass food. Couple of weeks, the grass “hills” might reveal the impact.. just like the moo cow pies do.. eventually. LOL.

Of course they use a little girl photo, but most of the other photos and videos show a large percentage of males. Reminds me of the Syrian March to Europe where the ‘refugees’ had almost NO women and children. It was really an invasion of Islam, who have been raised to believe that raping a woman is an Allah given right. Just ask all the European women who have been on the wrong side of that deal.

On a serious note. We need to make sure these people are safe and not subjected to adverse conditions on their trip. For my well meaning and concerned freeper friends, who would like to be updated on the weather conditions these travelers are facing I would suggest this channel:

The author writes the story so we will feel sorry for the emigrants. Long dusty road, stuck now in a soccer field, not enough food or sanitation...and all the while acting like they have the RIGHT to enter the United States.

Uhm...sorry, citizens have the right to cross the border, and hell, even us citizen have to show ze papers at the border. but these folks think they should just waltz in??!!

Yep, they’re in a pickle...a pickle wholly created by themselves. And if they’re taking their advice from a person who speaks English so poorly that she mistakes “the nuclear option” for “dropping nuclear bombs on them” then more’s the pity.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for them. (But yeah, if I was there with them, I’d be such a softy that I’d be yelling about getting them decent food, I’d organize some family councils with babysitting services...I’d probably go full social worker on them. BUT, I would be telling them, non-stop, that they should go home. They are responsible for themselves, the US is not responsible for them, and it’s mighty forward of them to imply that they are the responsibility of the United States. As my husband used to say “Here’s your supper, there’s the door!”)

Back in the 1990’s, my ex used to watch the telenovelas on Univision every night. I tried to pretend I wasn’t noticing, but the T&A on those programs was some of the hottest anywhere. Ahhh, the memories.

They managed to find one little girl in the mass of young and middle aged men and took a picture of her to show the suffering chilren’. Boo friggin hoo.

Now they plan to invade in squads instead of a brigade.

Meet them, beat them and turn the back. We’re full up.

They’ve been in poverty for hundreds of years. How many companies have been sent to C.A. and Mexico along with all the other foreign aid and yet they’re piss poor as ever. My mother’s family who emigrated here, legally over 35 years ago, still have a sense of anti-Americanism, no matter how successful they’ve become. They were all for Barack Obama. Everything is a big conspiracy and it’s all the U.S.’ fault even when hurricanes hit.

You can’t reason with people who have no sense of logic. I honestly don’t understand what my mother’s relatives were bitter about. When I visited there for months at a time in the home country, they had a maid cook and clean for them and had huge lunches prepared while lunch was a baloney sandwich here. Yet, they come here and bitch. You can trust very few Hispanics to be loyal to the U.S.

Migrants took shade under tarps or scrawny palms. A mostly empty swimming pool on the grounds has become a toilet for some. Laundry hung on the chain-link fencing. There are an estimated 300 children in the camp, some sick and crying.

Send them to the parts of California where the elite limousine/lear jet liberals live. There are lots of pools there they can use.
