Why caravan migrants wave Honduran flags and burn tires in front of U.S. embassy
American Thinker ^ | October 21, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Waving the flag of the country they're desperate not to be sent back to, and burning tires in front of the Tegucigalpa-located embassy of the nation they're supposedly desperate to live in, the Honduras caravan migrants, their organizers and their supporters don't exactly come off as big fans of the United States.

Here's how the Daily Mail captioned one of its photos, seen here:

In Tegucigalpa, Honduras protesters burn tires at the US embassy during a march in support of the caravan of migrants on Friday. Hundreds of people marched to express their solidarity with the caravan of migrants trying to reach the United States

And as it happened, it was led by the Guatemala-arrested-and-deported organizer of the caravan, the far-left Honduran politician and supporter of Hugo Chavez and Mel "cowboy hat" Zelaya, Bartolo Fuentes.

Nor does the caraan come across as entirely free of thugs intent on harming others: According to the Daily Mail:

Late Friday night, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said in an address to the nation that a large group of migrants had 'tried to enter Mexican territory irregularly, attacking and even hurting some elements of the Federal Police.'

'Mexico does not permit and will not permit entry into its territory in an irregular fashion, much less in a violent fashion,' he said.

The Mail also has some vivid pictures of Honduran-flag waving would-be migrants burning flags in front of the U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa.

“Last time I checked Regiment and Division were two different formations,”

I know that.

“Last time I checked Regiment and Division were two different formations,”

If you know that, then did you just misread what was posted? Because there is a 3rd Cavalry Regiment as posted.

We need a Berlin Airlift operation (in reverse) to take thee folks from Northern Mexico back to whatever countries they are citizens of.

Fit out an old cargo ship with hammocks and bunks. Transport the lot to Tierra del Fuego and dump 'em. It's a lot longer walk back!

I know. But as you weren’t responding to post #1 I thought you may have hit the wrong respond button. I know that’s happened to me.
