Hundreds of Central Americans — many with families in tow — have begun the journey to the U.S. border hoping the new president will allow them to claim refugee status and enter the United States.
They will likely be stopped in Mexico thanks to coronavirus restrictions, but the incoming Biden administration is worried that this is only the beginning. Joe Biden’s campaign rhetoric promised a “more humane” immigration policy and expanded the number of those able to claim refugee status. This will inevitably lead to a massive influx of those seeking asylum at the border.
On Thursday, Guatemala cited the pandemic in order to declare emergency powers in seven border provinces migrants frequently transit through en route to Mexico. The measures limit public demonstrations and allow authorities to disperse any public meeting, group or demonstration by force.
Honduras and Guatemala have announced they will deploy thousands of soldiers to preemptively stop caravan members, while Mexico also deployed agents to its southern border on Thursday.
Both nations cooperated with the Trump administration in 2019 to limit the flow of migrants coming to the U.S. — largely because they were threatened with sanctions by Trump. But it worked. The crisis at the southwest border eased considerably.
Now the whole ugly mess threatens to start up again. Biden will be under enormous pressure to treat the migrants “humanely” at the border, which includes allowing them to cross into the United States. They won’t be detained. They will be allowed to go into the interior to wait 3-5 years for their hearings before an immigration judge.

From DW.Com:
The migrants say they are escaping poverty, unemployment, and gang and drug violence, as well as the aftermath of two violent hurricanes that hit the country last November.
But Washington has warned the migrants against making the journey, especially at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is a deadly journey — the US Border Patrol recovered more than 250 bodies along the US-Mexico border last fiscal year,” Mark Morgan, acting Commissioner of the US Customs and Border Protection, said in a statement last week.
At least Guatemala is taking some precautions to prevent people infected with the virus into their country.
Given that the Dog-Face & Pony-Soldier administration is going drive the US economy to a 25% unemployment rate, what do these idiots think they are gonna do?
Heck. Biden & friends will probably make Central America a new state.
These illegal aliens will flood the USA and will undoubtedly be put in housing throughout the red states, and then will be given full voting rights.
The death of America is within reach.
SEPTEMBER 17, 1787 UNTIL JANUARY 6, 2021 . . . THE DEATH OF OUR REPUBLIC FOLLOWING PENCE’S DELIBERATLY STABBING TRUMP IN THE BACK.
Yeah. It’s only extra people. Let them all in and give them a check and free health care. My freaking insurance for my wife and I goes up every year. I need shoulder surgery again and don’t even want to know how much. Guess I still have 1 arm..
RE: Yeah. It’s only extra people. Let them all in and give them a check and free health care.
And how many of them are infected with Covid-19? And how many of these have the more contagious variant?
A large horde of migrants is making its way through Central America hellbent on getting to the United States in time to capitalize on Joe Biden’s plan to amnesty millions of illegal aliens. They are doing this because they heard reports that Joe Biden is reportedly planning to introduce an amnesty bill in his first 10 days in office.
Video from The Hill shows migrants streaming across Guatemala’s border with no regard for the country’s immigration or health restrictions.

If every Honduran refugee replaced a white middle class college educated millennial, I’d go tear down the wall myself.

Best chuckle I’ve had all day-——so true.
.
Actually the Guatemala border agents are allowing many of them through.
Hope they stop at those border property owners who have fought the wall and crap on their yards.
Why not, they’ll get free healthcare when the get here. Among other freebies.
RE: Why not, they’ll get free healthcare when the get here.
Will they get vaccinated for Covid ahead of other Americans?
Yep. A good reason for another lock down..
Sponge off us and vote Democrat.
Probably, wouldn’t want to be racist.
RE: Probably, wouldn’t want to be racist.
I actually am in favor of this. If you won’t send them back home, Make them useful... Use them as the early test cases for the vaccine.
Obunghole shoved millions of third world sh*tters into the heartland and cities at night.
So Biden is going to grant citizenship to 22 million illegals already living in this country and then open the border to let in an untold number of new illegal immigrants that will take their jobs, lower their wages, drive up their taxes, and endanger their communities. Why would the new “citizens” turn around an vote for the person that is shafting them like this?
