Guatemalan security forces have clashed with hundreds of Honduran migrants and asylum seekers travelling in a caravan bound for the United States.

Police and soldiers, many wearing helmets and wielding shields and sticks, formed ranks on Saturday across a highway in the village of Vado Hondo, Chiquimula, near the Honduras border, to block the procession of migrants.

Guatemala’s officials said as many as 9,000 migrants and asylum seekers have entered the country since Friday.

About 6,000 pushed past about police and soldiers posted at the border on Friday; most entering without showing the negative coronavirus test that Guatemala requires. An additional 3,000 crossed into the country on Saturday, they said.

Somehow COVID never seems to be any sort of concern in any news coverage of these things.

No doubt immigrant joe will make a nasty phone call to the head of Guatamala and tell him to “Let my people go! Or I’ll take you behind the gym!”.

I’m always noticing that.

Think maybe Trump put in a call to Guatemala and asked for a favor?

Those who incite illegal immigration should be held responsible for the resulting murders, rapes, thefts, DWIs, diseases and drug addictions.

Eventually Guatemala’s police forces will tire of stopping the onslaught coming to the US...

Before Biden’s out of office we’ll have another 40 to 60 million new illegals to feed, clothe and compete with. Biden will be seen as a fool... Even liberals don’t want their cities flooded with people willing to work under the table and using their emergency rooms as their private doctors for $6,000 a visit...
