Mexico may get border security before we do. Racist bastards. /s

[BunnySlippers]

It’s about time Mexico enforced their birders! The recent incident was a costly oversight on their part!

"will close off illegal entries at its southern border with Guatemala, but didn’t say how the country plans to do it. "

How about building a wall?

[Secret Agent Man]

Mexico is extremely harsh on illegals there.

I would say we need to adopt mexicos standards on dealing with illegals.

Any lib says but we arent mexico, we just tell them were dealing with the problem the same way the peaceful and intelligent and loving people of mexico deal with their border issues.

[Tennessee Nana]

I wonder how long this policy will last ???

[Lurkinanloomin]

Mexico is finally having to deal with illegal aliens instead of just being a pass through.
If they think they will be stuck with them, they will control who gets in.

“in five days this administration solved the issue, five days,” she said, referring to the first week since President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office”

If this is true and the flow gets choked off down there, we should see apprehensions at our border drop off a few weeks later, as the ones already in the pipeline in Mexico run out.

In the first week of the new Mexican Administration (first week in December), we actually saw a surge in apprehensions at our border. That could have been an effect of the Federales clearing out the caravan camp in Tijuana (which they did relocate ten miles from the border, and put under Federal control), as well as flushing out other groups.

There clearly was some significant activity, but it remains to be seen if it is really significant for real results, or more for looks. They might just force the human smugglers to keep group sizes to no more than a busload, forbid media coverage, and pass them through more discretely.

The numbers over the next few weeks will tell the tale.

If President Trump/Jared Kushner really cut a deal to get them to fix a big part of the problem, that would be a major achievement, because AMLO (the new Mexican President) is a pretty hard-core Leftist, who ran as a proponent of unrestricted migration as a human right.

Hallelu-Yah!

“will close off illegal entries at its southern border with Guatemala, but didn’t say how the country plans to do it. “

mucho tear gas lobbed at the river when necessary solves THAT problem ...

[Widget Jr]

There are realities about this most of the news is ignoring. The caravan is in Mexico, not the United States. It is directly causing problems for Mexico and only indirectly for the U.S. as a political prop. Mexicans are slowing catching on they are being used for political theater. If the Mexican government is really serious about putting its foot down, this is going to end before the majority of the caravan reaches the border.

[eartick]

More BS from Mehico. I guess they are getting enough traffic from China and the Middle East to keep their Government running.

They do not need greasy border hoppers from South of them anymore

[Elsie]

...the new administration will end the practice of undocumented or illegal crossings over the Suchiate River, which marks much of the border between Mexico and Guatemala.

The Mexican Rio Grande.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the best BOL so far this morning.

Mexico may get border security before we do. Racist bastards. /s
