Trump's warning to cut aid over migrant caravan gets Honduras's and Guatemala's attention

That was quick.

President Trump's vow to cut off all aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador has gotten the attention of at least some of those countries' elites, who are moving to stop the caravan. According to Reuters:

WASHINGTON/ESQUIPULAS, Guatemala (Reuters) – The organizer of a migrant caravan from Honduras was detained in Guatemala on Tuesday as the U.S. government threatened to withdraw aid from both countries and El Salvador if the flow of migrants north to the United States was not stopped.

Apparently, they believe him. Someone must have been on the phone with the Palestinian Authority.

An incurious press has declined to report on who is financing the caravan or its leader who got detained, or why those migrants in the photos have such new-looking clothes, for that matter, but in the past, such caravans were bankrolled by George Soros-financed front groups and actually called the "Soros Express."

Anyone drop a call to meth-eek-OH and tell them they need to step up, round 'em up, turn them back or no dough for them either? Needs to happen.

By report photos it appears that 90%+ of these migrants were males between the ages of 21 and 35.

The message needs to be directed to Mexico. Secure your border, if you let people into Mexico, your choice, but do not send them across the border to the US.

I do think we should discuss, Trump should troll, that we might need to set up safe zones IN Mexico to shelter and protect Mexico's guests and residents. Deport all Mexicans to these zones!

Haha...bet they’re scrambling to stop this caravan. They know POTUS is serious about cutting off their US taxpayer gravy train.

They better move fast - because we can do more than stop giving them money - we can target their ‘elites’ for financial ruin.

Enough is enough...

If it’s in meth-eek-OH already then it’s up to the meth-eek-UNS to stop them.

Mexico had better get its burro in gear. That treaty could be in peril.

Yep. Establish some lands in Mexico for use to house deportees. Mexico has been invading us with impunity, so we have every right to cross their borders. The rest of the world’s leaders hate us anyway, so it’s not like we have to worry (or care) about their opinion.

What everybody is missing is that these countries would be better off if they didn’t have people who want a better life leaving. Globally, countries having stable populations for whom they can provide a good life should be the goal. We just focus on the criminal element and it’s impact on us.

Someone did, Mexico sent extra police units to their southern border to interdict the caravan.

Expand our Embassy in Mexico to include large ‘tent city' holding spaces - then deport all illegal Mexican crossers to that Embassy.

They can watch American TV and eat MRI's for 6 months or until we make a determination - whichever's faster... or they can melt back into their homeland... Same with Honduras's and Guatemala's crossers... send them back to an expanded US embassy in their respective countries.
