TECUN UMAN, Guatemala (Reuters) - Hundreds of Central American migrants bedded down overnight on a bridge separating Guatemala and Mexico, many squeezed against a metal border gate, as efforts to halt a trek north by a caravan of thousands of people gathered pace under U.S. pressure.

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned the Central American caravan must be stopped before it reaches the United States, and Honduras and Guatemala said late on Friday they were mobilizing to return Honduran migrants to their homeland.

Earlier in the day, hundreds of migrants at the head of the caravan had poured through Guatemalan border posts and onto the bridge, but were repelled by dozens of shield-bearing Mexican police. Several complained they had been teargassed.

Drained from days of walking and frustrated, many prepared to spend the night in the open. Some stretched towels and garbage bags along the bridge walls, others lay down on backpacks, while a man applied lotion to his tired feet.

Mexico’s government, which says it will process migrants’ claims for asylum individually, vowed to tackle the caravan as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met top officials in Mexico City. Pompeo urged Mexico to ensure the procession did not reach the United States.

I used harsh words.

I used soft ones.

We need to look past the rhetoric into the heart of the matter: defending our borders.

We use harsh words because we are mad at OUR government; which has CHOSEN to be powerless in this matter.

We want the power BACK!!

I have two live traps for 'vermin' that get into my barn and property to eat my critters food an make a mess of things.

When I catch them; I relocate them.

My wife wishes that I'd just kill them.

What's a poor fella to do?

...take what belongs to others...

It's not so much THEIR 'taking'; but that We; in our generosity; GIVE.

If this invasion succeeds, others will be sure to follow, and the blame can be squarely laid on the shoulders of the Democrats and their RINO minions who have enacted laws that have enabled this disaster to happen.

BINGO!

EXCELLENT illustration!!!

There is this thing in Panama called the Darien Gap.

We should find out what is in it and then back up our soon to be finished fence with it.

I think we need a Patriot or two to ERASE these foul words from our Statue of Liberty!

Why didn't YOUR ancestors stay home
and fix up their OWN country??

people are responsible for their own choices. if not then everyone would be on government handouts.

You are correct.

“With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3:9

[ROCKLOBSTER]

From whence do you get off calling human beings, created by Almighty God, men, women and children, as “vermin?”

Well, you're probably right. They may not be "vermin" but they may well be parasites and predators.

(I knew of a man in modern world history—and his followers—who talked just like that.) if you are Christian, I don’t think we were taught to talk like that.

Christians are compelled to tell the truth.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Quick!!! Go warn the village that we are about to be invaded by vermin!!!!

Notice the "redskins"....(hint: it's paint)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

THEY did NOT write the law as written; WE did.

What do you mean "WE"....white woman?

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??

[LeoWindhorse]

Only by the full militarization of our entire southern border. Federalization of NG and deployment of regular military units. LRAD & ADS . A national address stipulating that ALL options for asylum and non documented entry is suspended until further notice ,and no asylum requests will be taken at the border. Then , an authorization of a second teir of civilian militia ,with full police powers and authority granted ,to back up front line mil units.
