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’m trying to think of a country which would not suffer degradation and harm from accepting that load of panhandlers and bums.
Maybe Somalia.
Maybe.

Order 50000 pizzas.
They have to pick them up in Honduras, though.
why did you leave where you had food?
If those people are hungry I am the king of England.
‘Cuz Senor Soros offered them muy pesos to run for the border.
all I hear about are the starving children and their pity me moms. There are no fathers? No men?
In the above photo, it looks like the women have plenty of men to choose a husband from, yet Im guessing, from the looks of the men, theh prefer free stuff over supporting a family.
Saying it again. I think NBC had a lady “invader” interviewed on air. Backfired. She had EIGHT (8 kids) brought only two older ones. She needs work, so she can send moola back to the 6 kids she left at home. pity party plus.
EGADS...... 8 kids. Why do WE need to feel compassion for THAT???
GET EVERYONE you know out to vote RED. This invasion is so totally disgusting.
I wish Mitch and no good baby face Paul would act to get congress back RIGHT now to end Catch & Release.
It’s OUR country - laws to protect OUR great citizens. America first.
The Latin Invading Expeditionary Force has now reached the size of a military DIVISION. The Mexicans are apparently giving them maps of Texas. It is said that enough Mexicans are joining them as they march north that they will number FIVE MILITARY DIVISIONS by the time they reach America! Can they be stopped??
