A 26-year-old Honduran died Sunday after he was struck in the head with a rubber bullet as the second group of migrants formed near an international bridge that connects Guatemala and Mexico.

The death was reported by Guatemalan firefighters and was believed to have occurred during a violent clash after migrants had reportedly broken through a gate on the Mexican side of the border. Mexico denied any responsibility in the death, and said its own immigration agents and police had been pelted with rocks and glass bottles.

Alfonso Navarrete Prida, the Mexican interior secretary, said some of the attackers carried guns and firebombs. [snip]

The Honduran migrants broke down the metal gates at the Suchiate River (Gua-Mex border) after authorities from both countries shut them down. Dozens of people were hurt from the skirmish.

The Mexican Interior Secretary-Navarrete denies his police were carrying guns, including ones with rubber bullets. The Mexican federal police were attacked with “stones, firecrackers, glass bottles and glass bottles.” Navarrete stated that some of the men were carrying firearms and gasoline bombs.

Mexico is in communication with Central American governments about the disturbances and “rejects the displays of violence that occurred today at the border with Guatemala.”

It is an invading horde.

Even if the fencing goes up that is being discussed as an option, things are going to get violent.

I don’t see any way around it.

So much fodder for the hate America/hate Trump media.

But it just cannot be avoided.....

In fact, it should just be understood that there is ONLY ONE WAY to emigrate. That is formally, the way most people do.

You go to the consolate, fill out the forms. Waitget investigated and approved or denied.

Then you can emigrate ... or not.

From the photos I’ve seen, they look dirty, decrepit & violent coming out of Guatemala and are getting redressed in expensive clothes (Ralph Lauren Polo & Tommy Hilfiger) with $50-$100 Nike backpacks some place in Mexico.

And now there’s a 3rd group of Central American migrants- about 300 Salvadorans supposedly organized via Facebook that departed Sunday from the capital city of San Salvador.

No. They are lying. They were not shot because the Mex BP are not armed with rubber or lead bullets.

One of their own likely hit a rival gang member in the head with a rock.

They are lying thugs seeking to expand their violent gang to the USA.

“Mexico ... said its own immigration agents and police had been pelted with rocks and glass bottles.”

Future recruits for Dims/”Antifa” once they make it inside our border.

Maybe these photos of the ‘real invaders’ need to be posted instead of the colorful singing peaceful looking tribe.
