Trump's resolve is breaking the migrant caravan up fast

Dragging into its fourth week, all signs are on that the migrant caravan is falling apart.

According to the Associated Press:

ISLA, Mexico – A 4,000-strong caravan of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico split up into several groups with one spending the night in a town in the coastal state of Veracruz and other migrants continuing toward the country's capital.

The divisions came during a tense day in which tempers flared and some migrants argued with caravan organizers and criticized Mexican officials.

How did it happen?  Obviously, someone promised them something for free and then didn't pay up.  This is about what you'd expect when someone offers something for free, and then realizes that the whole thing is not going to pay off in the politically useful way he wanted.

Whether it was Venezuelan or Sorosian or Mexican, the free cash for a free ride to the border and all the free stuff of the U.S. just never materialized.  That has raised questions about why the group should stay together instead of split apart.  After all, anyone can apply for asylum to the states on his own.  Applying in a 4,000-strong group pretty well means a long wait time.

A promised bus ride to Mexico City for thousands of migrants from Central America was the latest money that never materialized.  Mexico's Veracruz governor, anxious to get the migrants out of his home state as soon as possible, promised them all free bus rides to Mexico City and then withdrew the offer, likely because Mexico City didn't want to take them.  Federal authorities there warned the Veracruz governor he'd be charged with human-trafficking if his free bus rides rolled out to the Mexican capital.  Obviously, Mexico City does not see itself as having much to gain politically from the big migrant caravan

The policy of catch and release is ending, so naturally temporary shelter will be necessary.

Odd how so many are still quite chubby despite their very strict diet and exercise routine.

Trump getting ‘er done ...

Razor wire is a nice start, but it should be augmented with land mines and nerve gas ... then, we build the wall about 10-feet this side of that the wire, mines and gas ... then, we round up and deport the illegals already here ... then, we ship our libtards to the Congo ... and only then can we enjoy a wonderful free country!

So they can’t commit suicide? Can’t walk off? Can’t eat them so they can get sent away to a hospital for easy escape? Can’t make a garrote to use against other invaders or the BP? You can’t have shoe strings or belts in prison, either. Maybe they’re getting them ready for a US prison.

There is nothing new about the Catholic Church being an ally of Illegalism, it has been doing this for decades.

Jer. 1:8 - It looks like the Old Testament prophets also had to drain the swamp.
