Lining up on the rocky bank of the Suchiate river, which runs along Mexicos southern border with Guatemala, a thronging crowd from the migrant caravan shouted to their companions squatting on the international bridge. Venganse, they chanted, come on over. Minutes later, groups from the bridge poured down the hill to jump on rafts made with tires and crossed into Mexico. No police stopped them.
With large numbers making it over the river into Mexico by late Saturday, participants from the caravan of Hondurans and other Central Americans settled temporarily in the plaza of this border city. Some lay exhausted, mothers curled up asleep with children, resting before they would continue their march on Sunday.
But others were in an upbeat mood, dancing and singing. A Mexican federal police operation to stop them on Friday, which had been applauded by U.S. President Donald Trump, had failed to halt their advance. We are going to stay together, we wont be broken, said Edwin Rosas, a 31-year-old-builder from Progreso, Honduras, his shirt off in the humid evening. We will keep going all the way.
The caravan of an estimated 3,000 refugees and migrants, mostly without papers, first set out from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on Oct. 13, with the intention of heading through Guatemala and Mexico to the United States. As it pushes onwards, defying borders and growing in number, it has shaken governments through Central and North America....

Bingo
Sure, come on in. Everybody open up a spare room in your house just like in the movie Dr. Zhivago. Oh wait, in that movie the local commissar took your whole house, let in a hundred comrades to live there and gave YOU the spare room.
They’ll have a much better deal than our homeless veterans. Air conditioned quarters, three nutritious meals a day plus snacks and beverages. Free school for the children, free medical & dental care, recreation, court-appointed lawyers, big screen television, video games, social workers, ESL classes and much more.
I’m all for that, as long as it’s Nancy Pelosi’s house they live in.
Uh huh. They will let them in instead. Just watch.
Rip up the trade deal can be added to your excellent list.
This is a f***ing invasion, and needs to be treated as such.
Yes and should be done RIGHT NOW; not just threatened.
well we’ve had wars on our borders before - they are just telling us that’s what they want.
Methinks a HUGE can of Trump WHOOP ASS is about to be opened!
In Spanish, “venganse” means avenge not come on over. No?
Hey cholo, you’re messing with a whole different kind of hombre this time. President Trump IS NOT Jorge Bushtamente or Senorita Obama. Fair warning.
You’re right - he just keeps making threats. Time to put up or shut up.
Maybe we should gear up to use tear gas and skunk water.
The Israelis use skunk water to hose down the Palestinian rioters. It is an organic non-toxic mixture which reportedly smells like concentrated rotting corpses fished out of an open sewerit is vomit-inducing disgusting, as foul as skunk spray.
It can be sprayed on rioters by drone or with a water cannon. If you get sprayed with it you will stink for weeks, its very hard to wash the smell off.

The left loves using the term sustainable. Tell me, how this is sustainable? Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this? Of course, us. But I think the big problem we have is our national debt and the ability for politicians to spend large sums of money we don’t have. By simply adding to the debt, we don’t feel the pain.....yet.
If a tax was placed on us to pay for all of this now, there would be a whole different resolve.
They wont be broken. In what universe do you have the right to just walk into a foreign country whether they want you or not?
This, too, will blow up in their faces.
Where do they intend to cross our border?
You are correct-”venganse” means get revenge, “venir” means come over-if they try to do the latter, then I’m all for us doing the former-and I’m a Latina...
