GOOD NEWS FROM MEXICO
Powerline ^ | January 18,2020 | BY JOHN HINDERAKER

More evidence that President Trump’s immigration policies are having great effects, from the Wall Street Journal: “Mexican Forces Clash With Migrants at Border With Guatemala.”

Mexican security forces used plastic shields to push back hundreds of Central American migrants who tried to force their way across a border bridge from Guatemala into Mexico on Saturday.

Lines of National Guard officers jostled with migrants, some of whom threw bottles and wielded sticks as they tried to push their way into Mexico. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has vowed to stop migrants from entering the country illegally as they try to reach the U.S.

The migrants are part of a group of some 1,500 people, mostly from Honduras, who gathered on the Guatemalan side of the Mexican border Friday.

This is another attempt to form a caravan to invade the United States, organized by “leftist Honduran activist[s].” (Parenthetically, I still would like to know who is paying for this “activism.”) But this time, it isn’t working. Why?

Mexico is determined to stop a replay of similar incidents in 2018 and 2019, when thousands of migrants entered the country in caravans and headed for the U.S. border. The regional migration crisis drew the ire of President Trump.

This caravan has the smell of the Dems and Soros. PDJT is eating into the latino votes, (35% +), and that spells death to the Dems in November. They maybe financing/organizing the caravan/s to re-litigate the “separating babies and mothers and putting them in cages” memes.

What countries would want to destabilize the United States?

This is too big to just blame the crazies like George Soros.

Maybe our 'intelligence' boys should start protecting the United States and STOP spending their resources ONLY protecting corrupt white liberal elites in DC.
