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.

You see fighting age while the Demoncrats see voting age and the Chamber of Commerce Republicans see roofing age.
Quit their crying. There’s a Pollo Camero right around the corner, along with several other restaurants where this is located. Go spend some of that money Soros handed out to you the other day.
In the pictures I’ve seen, they are not missing any meals. All the ‘refugees’ were overweight.
Where are all the women and children? I can count 3 females in the picture & no kids.
"Not our problem!" Americans groan in response
Regards,
Give them bread and water - all mixed in the same big vats.....

Channeling your inner Jonathan Swift, I see.
That was actually funny! Good on ya!
Too bad.
What happened to all that money you were handed?
Use that to buy food.
Or better yet, go home and grow your own.
They look like a pretty well decked out group based on the images I’ve seen.
And pretty well fed, at that.
I can hear the media now, Trump’s Fault!
I think the big difference here was that there was media to cover it.
Otherise, they're happy little butterballs.
ROFL!

I seriously dont care if they eat their kids-or each other.Line up the tanks. Mine the border.
25% of the caravan are gang members. How are the other 75% escaping gangs?
This is all scripted for the cameras. These fat invaders are well fed and well paid. Go home or be turned into Soylent Green (Oh, the dream). Send in the scoops.
Based on what I’ve seen of these people on TV and internet pics, it doesn’t look like any of them have been missing meals, or have been mistreated.
Most are well dressed and with great shoes and backpacks, and I haven’t seen any that looked underfed.
When interviewed by news people, they say they want to get to the USA for jobs and income; NOT that they are leaving their countries due to so-called humanitarian reasons.
If interviewed by Mexico’s officials, they should be required to tell who paid them for the walk and how much.
“BS They made it that far, they are healthy enough to return on their own. This is drama for the media and bleeding hearts in the US.”
This is a tactic of the left that Newt Gingrich just warned about in a column he wrote.
Looks like most of those poor migrants are military age males.
