CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Despite Mexican efforts to stop them at the border, about 2,000 Central American migrants swam or rafted across a river separating that country from Guatemala, re-formed their mass caravan in Mexico and vowed to resume their journey toward the United States.

The migrants, who said they gave up trying to enter Mexico legally because the asylum application process was too slow, gathered on Saturday at a park in the border city of Ciudad Hidalgo. They voted by a show of hands to continue north en masse, then marched to the bridge crossing the Suchiate River and urged those still on it to come join them.

“We are going to reach the United States,” said Erasmo Duarte, a migrant from Danli, Honduras

Mexico, you have illegals in your country. Send them home.

Interesting, the story has gone from a few hundred to now a full 2 thousand crossing the river with no resistance by the Mexican police and additional military sent to the border.

Fake News?

Probably.

When they reach the boarder DJT say the US troops - not the national guard - will be there to greet them. He failed to say if they will be authorized to use deadly force - if not, then the invasion will continue.

They’re coming, and they’ll get in... and so will all of their relatives later. Not a darned thing we can do about it until we fix the laws... we need a Congress that gets it.

Depends entirely on the resolve of this president.

Sure there is. Shut down all rail and truck traffic while every single load coming across is thoroughly searched for contraband by Customs. Open every single box and carton.

The Mexicans will toss those invaders back across the border dead or alive.

My point was if they never get here the law never comes into play. That was the point of my post. This AP release is completely at odds with the 2000 reported as having crossed into Mexico.
*******************************

Thursday night, the migrant caravan of at least 3,000, many waving Honduran flags and chanting slogans, arrived at the Guatemalan border with Mexico. On Friday, they broke down Guatemalan gates and streamed toward a bridge to Mexico. Most were repelled by Mexican police, but about 50 got through.

Central America is small. We can allow all of their entire immigrants in and not notice them at all. (At least in Florida).

Migrants cited widespread poverty and gang violence in Honduras, one of the world’s deadliest nations by homicide rate, as their reasons for joining the caravan.

“One cannot live back there,” said Fidelina Vasquez, a grandmother traveling with her daughter and 2-year-old grandson, standing next to the main border gate.

Yeah, but don't you dare call it a sh*thole!

Sure he can. Close the border to all traffic and stop ALL immigration. Period.

Station active duty military on the border to repel anyone from entering, by any means necessary.

If they jump the fence, retrieve them and return them to Mexico.

He has the power, does he have the will?
