Migrant caravan swells to 5,000 in Mexico, with members vowing to reach U.S.

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.

A whiff of grape would quickly stop this invasion.

We need to bombard the TV air waves, and the internet, with videos and stills of the animals all along the way. Show them peeing off the bridge. The trash. Sleeping in piles.

Everyone should be repulsed and say, “We don’t want then here!”

Financed by soros, through the democrat mob.

another question comes into play - how long will the trafficking cartels let this go on? They’re losing $10-20K a head on the Guatamalan batch.

Also, if the crowd has swelled to 7,000+ that fast, we can bet more caravans have been organized behind this one.

Lastly, Messicans better guard their babies and toddlers closely - it’s now well advertised that babies are required to get over the border, especially ones who can’t verbalize who their parent is. The case yesterday of the woman throwing herself and two under-10 kiddies 40 feet off the bridge into a not very deep river demonstrates how disposable kids are to some cultures.

Ditto that. Also find out if your religious affiliation is financing this mob. It's been announced that, among others, Catholic and Lutheran charities are helping in massive ways....especially in finding places to lodge the aliens.

I'm Missouri Synod Lutheran and will let both my minister and my Synod officials know exactly how I feel about this...I will search my computer for appropriate email addys.

.....and I have no compunctions about letting my wallet speak to them, also.

Go and do thou likewise !

If you want to call approximately 30% as a huge percentage, then how about you keep a huge percentage (30%) of your paycheck and give the rest away.

My late father used to call Uncle Sam “Uncle Sap.”

These invaders will keep coming because we let them and then give them all kinds of freebies.

It all has to end.

The Mexico to either stop them or see a TOTAL shutdown of the Southern Border... all ports of entry closed, no rail or trucks moving N or S, NG at the border.

I don’t know if this is going to
slow down the horde, but there’s
a hurricane coming. God is voicing
his opinion.

I knew a woman from Guatemala who loathed her Mexican neighbors with a passion. This was in Phoenix.

True but unfortunately they sometimes involved leaders like John Chivington.

Yeah, I think the feeling is mutual. They’re all Hispanic but as subgroups they dislike each other. Which is another reason I question the logic of this caravan.

Presumably the left’s plan is to get Hispanics in America riled up so they’ll come out and vote Democrat...but most Hispanics in America are Mexican or of Mexican descent. Are Mexicans going to feel sympathy for an approaching army of Hondurans and Guatemalans? I could see it being just the opposite. They may actually want El Jefe Trump to show strength and repel the caravan.

Now I did see someone say upthread that the original Guatamalans and Hondurans have basically been replaced by Mexicans at this point. If so, that is quite a clever switcheroo. To the average Joe who isn’t paying attention they would still be Central American “refugees”, but to Mexicans in America who are paying attention they would now be a bunch of their Mexican compadres.

Off topic question for friendly grammar nazis: Is the comma after “refugees” in the last paragraph correctly placed or should it be inside the quotation mark?

what a massive coincidence that thousands of people met and head to here, and even met where guys with pistols were handing out money to them

If there were 10 people banging on your door and breaking your windows to get into your house, would you merely sit on your couch eating cheetos? Oh, can’t defend your family by shooting them. Oh, no, that just wouldn’t be fair.
