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.
Mexicos 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.

Simply offer $100 per illegal to any person legally in this country and that can provide information as to the illegal’s location and arrest.

I saw awhile back that Nancy P has a place that is too large just for her. Lots of open space. Since she is so passionate (along with some of the other Dems) can we bus some of the illegals to their place(s) so they could show their devotion. One thing though - no vetting! use a lottery system.

You can use the word “vermin” as often as you like but it doesnt make it true. These are human beings but as I said, they are not Americans. They have no business here and should stay home. But they are not sub human and calling them the same thing the Nazis called the Jews does not help our cause.

If the Mexs would hose a load of capsicum-based tear gas into that area they would decamp back towards Guatemala in record time.

They’re fleeing ‘’poverty’’ in their home land? Well, that pinche gordo en los rosa pantalones(the fat f**k in the red pants) looks like he’s never missed a ton of tacos in his life.

Oh shut the f**k up! He said thou shall not covet thy neighbors house. He gave these people a country and a free will. What did they do with it? They destroyed it, and now, out of selfishness and covetousness they demand that myself and every other American taxpayer make up for their deficiencies. Moral idiot.

People drain our welfare system because they want a better life.No; because they can. THEY did NOT write the law as written; WE did.
