Mexico on Friday ordered the military to deploy along its southern border to block a migrant caravan that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador suggested was linked to the US election.
Thousands of mostly Honduran migrants were traveling through Guatemala, heading for the United States via Mexico, just weeks before a tense US presidential vote in which immigration is a key issue.
It seems very strange to us. Its very strange that this caravan leaves on the eve of the election in the United States, Lopez Obrador told reporters.
It has to do with the election in the United States. I dont have all the elements but I think there are indications that it was put together for this purpose, he added.
The migrants, mostly young men, surged across the border from Honduras into Guatemala on Thursday despite restrictions linked to the coronavirus pandemic.
Many were not wearing masks to protect against the spread of infection.
Some returned to their country after the Guatemalan government ordered them to be detained and deported.
Mexico will deploy hundreds of military and immigration personnel to its border to prevent the caravan entering the country, a senior government official said.
Theyre not going to cross, Francisco Garduno, the head of the Mexican migration authority, told reporters.
Garduno said the migrants must respect the immigration law.

Hes a very smart man of the people. He knows Donald means well and the gangs are the enemy
Dang, Mexico is growing some additional male anatomy there.
Glad to see them step up on this. Kudos... much appreciated.
Art of the Deal, bilingual edition.
“Imagine Mexico doing this with ANY OTHER U.S. President in the oval office. I can’t.”
Only about 8% of the US GDP relies on trade. A huge percentage of that is trade with Mexico. Although the US could get along fine without Mexico, the reverse is not true. Trump knows when he has the winning hand and he’s not afraid to use it. (God! I LOVE that man!) On the other hand, he hasn’t beggared his opponents. He has made them a good deal and they know it.
Thank President Trump...w/o him Mexico would still be escorting them to our border.
To bad we had to give up the import tariff to do this. That part sucks.
Charles as Nationalist you should be disgusted that the USA is trading American jobs for border security. Then again you are not really a nationalist, you are gloBULList.
Dear Republicans, do not ting the American people and workers don't see this as trade off, and not very good one.
TRADING AMERICAN JOBS FOR BORDER SECURITY IS BS. I HOPE AFTER THE WALL IS COMPLETE WE CAN GET A TARIFF.
The democrats say Trump lied about Mexico paying for the wall. I say they are picking up a lot of the tab.
That didn’t prevent them from aiding in the assault on American citizens at Waco though. Am I wrong. A f’n tank is not a civilian assault vehicle. It’s just a tank. Several million illegals in our country and you don’t consider that an invasion, lol. Some have thrown out numbers as high as 30 million. Just yesterday another 29 invaders caught at the border. Some of them were from you guessed it, Honduras and Guatemala. Those same millions of illegals are sending billions of dollars back to the failed narco state and have for decades. You think Meheko is going to wean themselves off that teat. It’s going to require a butcher knife. Our own forefathers who took the fight to Mexico are having their statues torn down before our eyes. That’s the kind of leaders I want in this country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chapultepec
They didn’t make it...

Thank you, as always. Hopeium, why do conservatives always play the part of suckers. Remember my prior comment about leaders. I’m looking past being a sycophant here. At my age I strive to be a sophont with a base reasoning ability. It doesn’t alway happen I know, lol. I know when I’m being conned though, especially the long con. The American people voted to change this situation about illegal (invasion) immigration. Has it changed? In my opinion it has not. It has been said another million (illegals) are in the country since 2018 and that’s not even counting the million plus Indian invasion displacing white collar workers. In my prior comment I supplied information about the ohio jobs and justice pac website. You’ll see the founder Steve Salvi actively went after trying to be secretary of DHS and stop the madness. Was he given a shot. Hell no, instead we got an Indian lobbyist as head of DHS and was given the power to make exemptions to the executive order. Notice I didn’t say ex-Indian lobbyist. It has crossed my mind the newest supreme court pick was selected because of her view on immigration and a forced vaccine exclusively.
We've gone from a moocher-enabler relationship with Mexico to a friendly relationship under PDJT.
The house report on Military involvement in the government operations at Waco Aug.2 1996 mentions Alabama and Texas National guard units not federal troops but other agencies ATF/FBI were involved so it was a cluster. that being said the governors can authorize NG use in their states as they see fit but have to pay the bills. Congress is responsible for making the laws that will keep us safe . Term limits are the only thing I can see that will make them work for us and not corporations that make money off of the Government teat.
Never a more apropos image of Mexico and it's people.
You may be right, but six years of Douglas MacArthur therapy transformed Japan from a bitter enemy into a steadfast ally. It may take 60 years in Mexico’s case.
The Japanese were an entirely different people. They were a homogeneous society that although were war like and brutal they also understood humility in defeat and realized the United States was a far more powerful nation, society and culture and it would be a wiser course to learn the way of democracy and free market capitalism.
Mexico is a racist kleptocracy of different ethnic groups
all engaging in a culture of criminality, bribery and corruption at every level. It’s a place where it’s leaders steal everything in sight and blame The United States all the while encouraging their citizens to violate our borders and suck some $22 billion dollars a year out of this nations economy.
I’d be hard pressed to know of any other nation that has been so hostile and disrespectful to America than Mexico. has.
FWIW, I work with— and even consider myself friends with— some Mexican nationals in corporate who would not disagree with your assessment. One of them even chuckles when I tell him that he’s more American than many native born Americans, knowing that I am talking about liberals.
