'We Won't Be Broken.' Caravan of Migrants Sets Sights on U.S., Defying President Trump's Threats
Time Magazine ^ | October 21, 2018 | Ioan Grillo

Lining up on the rocky bank of the Suchiate river, which runs along Mexico’s 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 won’t 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....

I want to believe that, but I know most of them will.

Ammunition? Use it? I would be amazed if they were even issued it.

I remain totally amazed that the demonrats think this issue is a winning one for them.

Am I missing something?

The size of the caravan has apparently grown north of the border, and stands to grown exponentially. Libs/media predict this as a disaster for DJT, but the larger the crowd, the more danger they represent, the easier it is to see the idiocy of allowing them entry.

And we'll soon know who's behind it, so, have at it....bring your friends and a sleeping bag, if you manage to survive the floods Willa promises next week.

If they really wanted to be here they’d be carrying US flags and signing the US national anthem.

Third line down should be "1st Cavalry Division"

And in both third line and seventh line, it should be "Cavalry" NOT "Calvary" ...

These are not “migrants and refugees.” This is an invading horde. This is like the Angles, Saxons and Jutes landing in Roman Britain. Where is our Ambrosius? When will we see our Arthur?

I have no idea-maybe some genius on their staff misheard the word-”venga” means “come”, and they might have just ASSumed the rest/took it out of context-since I doubt that most of the staff at Time speaks Spanish as a 2nd language-many of us Tejanos do...

Vengarse means avenge or take revenge. They are chanting venganse, which is the third person plural subjunctive or imperative, of the word venir/venirse, which means come here or come over.

If they were yelling “take revenge,” it would be vénguense.
