TECUN UMAN, Guatemala — A standoff between thousands of Central American migrants trying to reach the United States and Mexican police stretched through the night with some migrants hanging from the closed border gate wailing "there are children here" while others slept on the crowded bridge linking Guatemala to Mexico.
But they were met Friday by a wall of police with riot shields on the Mexican side of the bridge. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated, joining the sea of humanity on the bridge.
Police and immigration agents began letting small groups of 10, 20 or 30 people through the gates if they wanted to apply for refugee status. Once they file a claim, they can go to a shelter to spend the night.
As night fell on the bridge, the migrants' frustration turned to despair as women clutching small children took up the rows in front of the gate pleading with the Mexican federal police. Some migrants yelled "We are hungry!" Others wailed that they had children while others set up tarps to prepare for the night sleeping on the increasingly dirty and befouled bridge.
A Mexican marine official with a loudspeaker approached the gate and told migrants they would be taken in trucks to "a humanitarian attention center" in Tapachula, a border city in the Mexican state of Chiapas. But the official did not say when this would happen.

I didn’t know that! That’s interesting.
I wonder what the penalty is for the Mexicans not keeping their end of the deal.
Does it apply to Mexican citizens, too? If not, it should.
First, George Soros.
Second, the U.S, taxpayers via the Welfare State.
The deal hasn’t gone into effect yet, so we’ll see how they do. I need to see if any progress has been made overnight.
Has anyone suggested to those on the bridge that they turn around and go home? AND feed *their* children there?
Prolly not ... and it would never occur to the nooze media either that that was an option.
Ya ... en route to the US ... where the *real* goodies are ...

that's a nice touch
Maybe the organizations/persons who transported the migrants to the Mexican border expected a new group to provide transportation, food, shelter, sanitary facilities after the migrants crossed the border into Mexico. Maybe the extra day(s) at the border we’re not included in the money that the would-be invaders already paid.
Cry me a river
Visa overstayers are as big a problem as border crossers. Our government can know if tourist/student visa people leave when their time is up but they don’t want to. All of this invasion is the fault of Congress.

- COWS: Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington. They also tracked her calves to their stalls . but they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.
