Migrant caravan swells to 5,000 in Mexico, with members vowing to reach U.S.
CBS NEWS ^ | 10-21-2018 | CBS

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.

Their numbers swelled to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile.

It was not immediately clear where the additional travelers had materialized from since about 2,000 gathered on the Mexican side Saturday night. They seemed likely to be people who had been waiting on the bridge over the Suchiate River or in the Guatemalan town of Tecun Uman and who decided to cross during the night.

I was thinking the same thing. Some of the sonic and heat wave weaponry could work on the border. Create a 100 or 200 yard cordon that would be impossible to cross and have border patrol on the US side to detain anyone that makes it through and send them right back.

Hi guy.

If the ordinance besides the cannon are cluster munitions then that works for me.

Leave Martha’s Vineyard out of it-——most of the elite only are there for 3/4 months-——you would be dumping them on the full time residents——the cops,firefighters,store clerks,teachers etc.

So are we supposed to believe that Mexico was unable to stop a crowd of 4000 illegals trying to illegally enter the country from a blocked bridge above a river that is guarded by police/military? Are we also expected to believe that illegals crossing the river using makeshift rafts could not be apprehended when they reached land and that they were able to reform their “caravan” and continue their trip without Mexican approval. Time for some punative actions against Mex.

Do Mexicans like Guatemalans and Hondurans? Or is there some national/ethnic hostility between them?

If they’re not exactly buddy buddy, then an invading army of Guatemalans might have the opposite effect on the Mexican immigrant community than what the left is apparently hoping for here in terms of the election.

“.....every single night 2,000 cross from Mexico into the U.S.A. on average...”
_________________________________________________________

That’s a failure on the part of the Trump Administration.

Love the president, but I voted for him in order to stop this crap.

For starters, get rid of that open borders Kristen Neilsen (or whatever the hell her name is) at Homeland “Security.”

Sure maybe 2000 do cross illegally from Mexico into the United States every evening as you said. But you make it seem as if all 2,000 are still here when the fact is that the huge percentage of them all rounded up and shipped back.

These, of course, are not the same people. They were never supposed to be the same people. They are organizing people to walk part of the way and then get new people later. This is all a show. By the time they get to the American border just before the election it will be a group of people who are already there. between towns it will be a small group. But they will grow for the cameras. And it will grow at the border.

Liberals live in Martha's Vineyards - so we'd get great press placing MS13 type thugs there... Anyone object? We'd place more in their liberal neighborhoods. Time for liberals to show us how assimilation should be done.

An added benefit is liberals would be wagging their fingers - outraged at how unfair and wrong it is...

Liberals would sound like we sound when we object to Trump signs being torn down, our people being roughed up, and being afraid to put political stickers on our cars.

They would have fear in their voices behind the outrage - just like we do. They NEED TO FEEL THE PAIN WE FEEL... AND WE'LL HELP THEM WITH THAT PROCESS.

It's the politics of intimidation and democrats are using it. If we don't use it back they will crush us. Besides, most of the communities MS13 thugs will move into are LESS ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. At least liberal bastions of wealth have the cash to buy nice security systems.

Yes, if we want to fight democrat on the their field we must use their asymmetrical psyops tactics. The tactics fed them by Russians and Chinese.

Would be ironically funny if they actually got to the US norder and a mysterious group comes along and offers them even more money to just turn around and go home. And they do.

Firefighting helicopters.

Dropping a few thousand gallons of water should put a damper on their enthusiasm.

Last I heard the ‘invaders’ are closer to 7,000 now.

Interview with one of those traveling and leading this throng of invaders said that the last caravan had already entered the US regardless of what the government in the US was saying........so they believe it will happen for them as well regardless of what is being said.

They said they want jobs in the US so they can send money back to their country for family members still there......and why so may men in the group.

Bottom line it’s an invasion of people who say they want to work here to send money back to their country for family members still there....then they ca get here too. They ‘believe’ they will be let in because the last group is already in the US....even though the goverments were saying the same thing they are now..then.

There is no good ending for the USA in this.......they will continue to come Imo.
