Migrants camp on bridge between Guatemala and Mexico as U.S. pressure mounts

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.

....block all money transfers from the US to Guatemala.

How about stopping ALL money transfers to Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, IMMEDIATELY??

Until this Gang of (paid and well supplied) Leeches turns back and are back home??

Great idea......hit ‘em where it hurts the most....in the pocketbook.

God loves them they are not vermin,

You're right of course.

They still cannot be allowed to invade our nation any longer.

[SkyPilot]

They are NOT vermin; but folks that want a better life for themselves and kids.

I used harsh words. Harsh words are appropriate for takers, who usurp other's money and property. That is what these "migrants" are doing. They know they are doing it. They are also using deception to get what they want. They are also exploiting children to get what they want.

We can't take in the whole world.

We Are Hungry!' Migrants Wail at Mexico-Guatemala Border

[SkyPilot]

People that exploit children, use deception, and take what belongs to others are not good people.

Pick an adjective, and I'll use it.

>>We are screwed<<

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. ANYONE who goes to the voting booth and votes for politicians who are responsible for this attack on our country is a traitor. And treason is punishable by death.

>>God loves them they are not vermin,<<

God can love whoever she wants, but if they come here illegally, they should be sent directly to Her immediately.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>“This has everything to do with Trump,” she added.<<

This Rendon is another Master of The Obvious. And this Migrante cabal should be declared a seditious organization and shut down immediately.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>> They f***ed up their country of origin and are coming here like locusts to do the same.<<

Yep, in other words they have copied the Democrats, Leftists, “progressives”, socialists, and communists in this country who fuuk up the cities and towns where they were spawned, and then move on to places like Colorado, Florida, etc. and immediately start working to screw up their new environment. PIGS!

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>We all know if these paid criminals get to our border, some black-robed tyrant will issue a judicial ruling in favor of the illegal invasion, even though that ruling will have no basis in law.<<

Exactly, and that is why I urge President Trump to simply ignore ALL such judicial rulings unless and until the Supreme Court has either reversed or upheld the lower court rulings.

[sand88]

They are not Vermin nor are they Americans. Nazis called Jews Vermin so we should be careful what we say.

I hardly post much lately. However, your comment is very disgusting and compelled me to post.

These vermin are coming here to continue the utter destruction of our Republic.

These vermin have NO interest in becoming Americans, NO interest in learning English.

These vermin love Socialism and will vote for Democrats.

These vermin are coming here to leach off hard-working Americans and to help bring down America.

[dfwgator]

They are NOT vermin; but folks that want a better life for themselves and kids.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

>>Feinstein should be hanged - slowly.<<

Well and truly said, but that trashy skank is only one of several hundred who should be hanged. Puts me in mind of the French Revolution when the guillotine was being used so frequently it had to be taken out of service temporarily so its dulled blade could be resharpened.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>> This is an effort to collapse this nation and bring it to her knees.<<

Well and truly said, and voters should have that foremost in their minds when they arrive at the voting booths next month.
Lifetime Democrats especially may which to ponder how their lifetimes may soon be cut short by their allegiance to a failed and suicidal ideology.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>It’s incredible that we cannot decide who to let into our own country. It’s like if you had to allow anyone who knocks on your door to come in and live in your house; and you would be required to feed them, educate their kids, pay their medical expenses, etc.<<

Yep, and this is the insanity that has been foisted upon us by the Democrat Party and the foolish dolts who vote for the candidates of that anti-American organization.

[MayflowerMadam]

“God loves them they are not vermin,”

All true. That’s why churches have Foreign Missions line items in their budgets. Key word: “foreign”.

John 20:21 - Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so SEND I you.

Mark 16:15- And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

[trisham]

Amen.

Wonder if it will collapse and wash away the problem?

Nancy Pelosi Details Democrats’ Plan for Open Borders: ‘I Don’t See Any of Us Voting for Wall Funding’
https://www.breitbart.com/midterm-election/2018/10/17/nancy-pelosi-details-democrats-plan-for-open-borders-i-dont-see-any-of-us-voting-for-wall-funding/';

When Democrats cry ‘Abolish ICE,’, they really mean ‘abolish borders’

American people are coming to realize that a vote for a Democrat, anywhere, is a vote for open borders, globalism and socialism.

Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants

http://www.usillegalaliens.com/impacts_of_illegal_immigration_crime_summary.html

In recent Testimony of District Attorney John M. Morganelli before the House Subcommittee on immigration, Border, Security and Claims he stated:

“Unfortunately, the majority of illegal aliens who are here are engaged in criminal activity. Identity theft, use of fraudulent social security numbers and green cards, tax evasion, driving without licenses represent some of the crimes that are engaged in by the majority of illegal aliens on a daily basis merely to maintain and hide their illegal status.

In addition, violent crime and drug distribution and possession is also prevalent among illegal aliens. Over 25% of today’s federal prison population are illegal aliens. In some areas of the country, 12% of felonies, 25% of burglaries and 34% of thefts are committed by illegal aliens.”

•In Los Angeles, 95% of some 1,500 outstanding warrants for homicides are for illegal aliens. About 67% of the 17,000 outstanding fugitive felony warrants are for illegal aliens.

•There are currently over 400,000 unaccounted for illegal alien criminals with outstanding deportation orders. At least one fourth of these are hard core criminals.

•80,000 to 100,000 illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes are walking the streets. Based on studies they will commit an average of 13 serious crimes per perpetrator.

•Illegal aliens are involved in criminal activities at a rate that is 2-5 times their representative proportion of the population.

•In 1980, our Federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens but at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities at a cost of about $6.8 billion per year.

•At least 4.5 million pounds of cocaine with a street value of at least $72 billion is smuggled across the southern border every year. ..

•56% of illegal aliens charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.

•Illegal aliens charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. 90% had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, 50% had been arrested for violent or drug-related felonies.

•Illegal aliens commit between 700,000 to 1,289,000 or more crimes per year.

•Illegal aliens commit at least 2,158 murders each year – a number that represents three times greater participation than their proportion of the population.

•Illegal alien sexual predators commit an estimated 130,909 sexual crimes each year.

•There may be as many as 240,000 illegal alien sex offenders circulating throughout America. Based on studies, they will commit an average of 8 sex crimes per perpetrator before being caught.

•Nearly 63% of illegal alien sex offenders had been deported on another offense prior to committing the sex crime.

•Only 2% of the illegal alien sex offenders in one study had no history of criminal behavior, beyond crossing the border illegally.

•In Operation Predator, ICE arrested and deported 6,085 illegal alien pedophiles. Some studies suggest each pedophile molests average of 148 children. If so, that could be as many as 900,580 victims.

•Nobody knows how big the Sex Slave problem is but it is enormous.

•The very brutal MS-13 gang has over 15,000 members and associates in at least 115 different cliques in 33 states.

•The overall financial impact of illegal alien crimes is estimated at between $14.4 and $81 billion or more per year. Factor in the crime as a result of the cocaine and other drugs being smuggled in and the number may reach $150 billion per year.

Where does Rubio come off berating Trump for citing FACTS?

[[Congressman Steve King (R-IA) estimates that illegal alien drunk drivers kill 13 Americans every day — that’s a death toll of 4,745 per year.[4]

The 23 percent criminal traffic offenders figure is only part of the overall picture. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, another 23 percent, more than 43,000 illegal aliens, were convicted of drug offenses. The violent crime category of assault, robbery, sexual assault, and family offenses comes to 12 percent.

The non-violent crime grouping of larceny, fraud, and burglary totaled seven percent, and on the list goes — equaling 100 percent of illegal aliens who have been through the criminal justice system and inflicted thousands to millions of $’s in cost per alien on the system, for issues having nothing to do with their illegal entry into the country]]
