Mexico’s President Suggests New Migrant Caravan Timed to Influence U.S. Presidential Election
Breitbart ^ | 2 Oct 2020 | ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

During his daily news conference, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said Mexico was “not sucking their thumb” as they prepared for the new migrant caravan that he claimed appears to be more politically motivated rather than a humanitarian cry for help.

“We find it very weird, very awkward, that this caravan begins on the eve of the U.S. presidential election,” Lopez Obrador said. “This is too much of a coincidence–how is it that in Honduras, where they have a lockdown, they are allowing this group to form?”

Despite the Coronavirus crisis in Central America, an estimated 6,000 migrants crossed into Guatemala on their way to Mexico. The caravan was organized via social media with specific plans to trek from Central America, through Mexico, and eventually reach the U.S. border to request asylum.

I expect Mexico's dedicated new National Guard Force to smack some sense into these "caravan" participants, and swiftly deport them - if they even make it through Guatemala.

In January, when this National Guard Force deployed along Mexico's Southern Border, they had effectively full Martial Law powers to direct local Governments. They swiftly put an end to caravans passing into Mexico.

Those guys will be suited up and warmed up, just waiting to get in some stick time, the moment these Central American invaders step foot over the line.

Well. don’t let them across your southern border, Mexico. Problem solved. Let Soros feed them. No doubt he’s financing the caravan.

I’m not sure who they would be trying to help politically, DJT or Biden.

“I’m not sure who they would be trying to help politically, DJT or Biden.”

I would guess that the plan is stage a bloody incident for the cameras, to blame Trump for anti-Hispanic brutality - maybe kill a kid for the cameras.

Only the Left puts together these caravans. It can only be to help Biden.

Obrador gets it.

I dunno. If they stage this, this would only reinforce Trump’s argument for a strong southern border.

Almost time to haul out the photos of little boys locked in cages, all of which were taken during Obama's reign but never saw the light of day back then, yet were portrayed as being taken during Trump's first mass-migration border crisis. And relabel them again to be Oct 2020.

And haul out that photo of the cute little girl sobbing her eyes out - which saturated our media 2 years ago - due to Trump's evil policies separating her from her mother .... except that 95% of the entire MSM ignored the debunking that came 2 days later when it turned out she had never once been separated from Mama.

He is exactly right, and someone made this same coomment this morning here on FR, which I agreed with.

This is purely political, intended to influence the election, and of course in Biden’s favor.

If they do make it to the US border, the idea is to scream

Trump the orange meany won’t let them in!! Xenophobe!! Orange man bad... He’s a big Orange Bully!!! etc etc ad nauseum...

They think they are going to influence the elections to help Biden (they are financed by Soros), but in reality they will end up helping Trump.
Trump voters are already the most motivated voters we've had for decades, seeing a mob of lawless invaders at the border will just get even the slowest Trump supporter to get off his butt and go vote for Trump.

Partner, we agree that the Rich Maniac George Soros should finance this caravan.

George Soros is a Piece of Work.

Partner, those Illegal Aliens will get a good dose of the joys of getting Pepper Sprayed by the B.P. and the joys of being on the receiving end of Tear Gas Canisters.

I just love it.

Bottom Line: With billions at stake, Mexico will turn that caravan around, before it gets within a thousand miles of our border.

They have to be responsible neighbors in controlling crime/immigration, to get a huge slice of the supply chain we are ripping out of China, under the new USMCA trade deal.

It is the development opportunity of a generation for Mexico, and AMLO’s (the Mexican President’s) best bet for a successful economy during his term. In fact, if AMLO doesn’t perform in good faith, President Trump has made clear that he will drive Mexico into an economic slump, with 5% tariff increases per month.

These are not Mexicans we are talking about in the caravan - they are Hondurans. Mexico will not appreciate them screwing up their deal of the century, and best hope for prosperity.

It’s clobbering time, when they try to cross into Mexico.

Soros could never be in a caravan; no one wants him in another country. His home country of Hungary has banned him from returning; we get stuck with him.
