At least two dozen Central American migrants -- who claim they're disillusioned frustrated with the asylum-seeking process -- breached the U.S.-Mexico border just before dusk by scaling a 10-foot metal fence,... using blankets and ropes to help climb over the structure ... , Other migrants [squeezed] through a section of fence...

Some migrants tried to escape capture by the U.S. BP but most were caught....

It remains unclear Tuesday how many of the migrants -- if any at all -- managed to escape detention.

... a 29-year-old Honduran mother with three children... told Reuters she was only observing ... “waiting to see what happens.” 90 minutes later, however, she and her children were seen on the U.S. side of the border...

TIJUANA MAYOR SAYS ARREST CARAVAN ORGANIZER, VOWS TO STOP FUNDING MIGRANTS...[snip].

... plans were curbed by the Trump administration’s decision to send troops to protect the border from illegal entry and impose a new policy that requires every migrant seeking asylum to remain in Mexico, where their case will be heard. [-struck down by a federal judge.]

Tijuana Mayor Gastélum [said] they cannot continue providing support for the migrants, ... “In those six hours the border was closed, we lost approximately 129 million pesos,”... “That's not fair. How do you think people from Tijuana feel towards those people who are making problems?”

ONE-THIRD OF MIGRANTS IN CARAVAN ARE BEING TREATED FOR HEALTH ISSUES, TIJUANA HEALTH OFFICIAL SAYS...

There are three cases of tuberculosis, four cases of HIV/AIDS and four cases of chickenpox,... At least 101 migrants have lice and multiple instances of skin infections... There’s also a threat of Hepatitis outbreak due to unsanitary conditions, ... [snip]

Central America trying to export their TB, AIDS, POX, Lice and Hepatitis to the USA.

Meanwhile remittances to 'the three' Central American countries total over $15 Billion. 28 Billion USD was sent to Mexico in 2017.

Fund the wall with a 'border fee mandate' from the remittances. (Just like Obam-Care was 'not at tax,' according to Justice Roberts.)

We are a country under siege! They are either armed with weapons or communicable diseases. The congress is not protecting its citizens!

You’re exactly right. The caravan is getting in, it’s by chunks instead of all at once. We’re still screwed.

What would be the Mexican reaction if instead there were 23 MILLION illegals in Mexico PERMANENTLY..?

What if 25% of El Salvador lived in Mexico..?

What, THEN, the Mexican reaction..?

Cuz that is exactly what has been foisted upon US.

FOR DECADES.

Trump needs to go full Monty. He is being suspiciously quiet.

Follow CPB on twitter. They are slipping in all across the border.

Make noise!

Throw them back over the wall, literally. But first take pictures, fingerprints, and a DNA swab. They are never to be allowed into the US under any conditions.

You enter the US illegally, you forever give up any hope of entering the US again. Not to immigrate, not to claim asylum, not even for a 1 day visit to family or friends. Never.

Looks like we do need a civilian militia, which is discouraged at every turn by most officials. Our government is failing at protecting us from foreign invaders so we must do it ourselves.

I had to work in Mexico briefly to assist with implementation of certain drone programs.

It was for an Israeli company and an Israel drone.

The customs paperwork was amazing, and we were hassled unbelievably coming and going, despite being there to work for the Mexican government.

They take working immigrants nts very seriously —- complete double standard.

The caravan offers troubling impacts to Mexico.

Guatemala and Honduras have released convicts into the caravan, instead of paroling them.

Notice that so many in the caravan speak American English. How come? Must have been deported. How come?

If Mexico gets stuck with the caravan, those criminals aren’t going back home, buenvenidos al Mexico.

Tens of thousands of Mexican citizens have US work permits and cross the border legally every day. They can’t bring the dinero home if the crossings are closed.

I am finding it hard to argue with the logic. They are walking in the streets here in border Arizona in groups of 4 or 5 and look just like a reconnaissance patrol.

With increased security, I don’t see
how these invaders are getting thru.
No more tear gas? Did command cave to
the outcries of “inhumane treatment”?
If BP is aware of the weak spots in the
fence, you would think those areas
would be watched more closely.

Let me guess, if we formed militias, we would be shot or prosecuted by border patrol, but the illegals get a pass.

Who are you referring to? The illegal caravan that crosses illegally or homegrown militia from the US?
