Time is running out for the migrant caravan currently sauntering through Mexico, as they approach the United States.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has already warned this horde of Central American immigrants that the US is not prepared to allow them to enter without the proper protocol, telling them simply to turn back as opposed to attempting any illegal crossing. As they continue onward, Mexico has even reached out to make offers of asylum for the huddled masses, to which the caravan responded with intent.
Several thousand Central American migrants turned down a Mexican offer of benefits if they applied for refugee status and stayed in the countrys two southernmost states, vowing to set out before dawn Saturday to continue their long trek toward the U.S. border.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced what he called the You are at home plan, offering shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans in Chiapas and Oaxaca states if they applied, calling it a first step toward permanent refugee status. Authorities said more than 1,700 had already applied for refugee status.
But after one of the caravans longest days of walking and hanging from passing trucks, the bulk of the migrants were boisterous Friday evening in their refusal to accept anything less than safe passage to the U.S. border.
They didnt mince words, either.
Thank you! they yelled as they voted to reject the offer in a show of hands in the town of Arriaga. They then added: No, were heading north!

A complete disregard of our sovereignty — this is an invasion.
They have just confirmed that they are NOT refugees of any type.
They have admitted they are a group of INVADING ALIENS.
Literally, the barbarians approach the gates.
Unfortunately, there are hard choices here:
1) Let them in. Goodbye America
2) Let SOME (females and babies) in. See above
3) Landmines and border closure.
Yeah. Sorry, even the Donald is unlikely to get out of this one without major leftist attack from the entire planet.
STOP ALL AID to ALL South American nations NOW!!!
Not one thin dime until THEY deal with this mess THEY created.
They want their free health care, food stamps, housing, education, etc. It’s the same situation in Europe where the illegal immigrants bypass other countries on their way to Germany and Sweden: better goodies.
Do you REALLY want to deal with these unspeakably disgusting creatures from BOTH borders?
Wow, you’re dumber than I could have imagined.
There are enough issues between our countries without this kind of crap, FRiend!
Ditto.
Gov. Dayton is a Dem? Minnesota. Home of socialist-dem hybrid when Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy were around as I recall.
So a Dem Gov. said a bad thing about Somalians yearning to be free (or yearning to be given lots of welfare and other entitlements)?
What is the story, please?
What I found important in this article is that the so-called caravan has only crossed one state in Mexico so far, the town mentioned (Arriaga) is on the western border of Chiapas whose eastern border is the international boundary they were crossing almost a week ago. So they have only come through about 5% of the distance to the U.S. border since then.
They are not on any pace to get close to the border before the election.
Sent the military across the border. What the hell can Mexico do if they can’t stop unarmed 3rd world idiots? Meet them in Mexico with tanks and attack helicopters, and turn their asses around, or slaughter them where they stand!
Evidently, they are not interested in trading their old $hit hole country for a new one!
Not if they are release back into Mexico. I suppose they could find their way into America as illegal through one of the many back doors.
show me.
just close one border crossing, lets say the El Paso border crossing and this will end in less than a day.
where’s my violin? Those on the rail will get here in 10 days. Those on buses, NAFTA trucks, etc will get here sooner. Wearing new clothes and well fed, compliments of towns along the way. Tributes of goodwill, it’s only whispered by smiling mayors that it’s to prevent looting and to keep the feet moving. Of course not out of their own pockets. A small butcher shop doesn’t provide enough meat to feed 200 people on a whim, wave after wave. Who’s trying to kid who? Either Messico puts up a northern border that cannot be crossed, or we ‘provide assistance’. We are not Europe. Route the east coast lovelies to Tampico/Altamira, route the Calexico-bound to Port Ensenada. As in barricade roads and channel them. Still in Mexico. Ship ‘em out. Have Honduras and Guatamala send ships or Mexico can provide them. Mexico’s problem solved; America’s problem solved.
Actually no. When he got blow back from Minnesotans about the insane number of somalies Dayton was importing he said “if you don’t like it, leave”
Damn.. relax and try to see a joke.
Lets acknowledge the great job by Mexico here. This is a big deal.
Mexico called their bluff.
Not quite. Well speed them along alright, straight to the North Pole. Good luck with the polar bears amigos.
They had their chance for asylum and they blew it. Now Trump has their own words to use against them and show that they were not interested in “asylum” from crime, economic unrest, political unrest, etc.
As they say in Mexico, “Tough buppish, boycheks”. Enjoy your eviction from Mexico, Mexican style.
Then the logical thing for Mexico to do would be turn them around and send them back is they aren’t asking for what they claim to be asking for....
The aliens burned our flag after painting a swastika on it.
This says if all!
