Potentially Largest Migrant Caravan Ever Aiming for Southern Border
Newsmax ^ | 6-6-2022 | Charlie McCarthy

What could become the largest migrant caravan ever to approach the U.S. southern border had formed in Mexico and was expected to begin heading north Monday.

About 11,000 migrants gathered in Tapachula, a city on the Mexico-Guatemala border, with the intention of marching toward the U.S., The Guardian reported.

The caravan's numbers were expected to grow in the coming days, and could reach 15,000 people, The Guardian said.

News of the caravan came as the migrant surge under President Joe Biden continued to skyrocket.

More than 234,000 migrants were intercepted at the southern border in April, breaking the previous month's 22-year high of 221,000, according to NBC News.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics show that 73,994 encounters occurred in December 2020, former President Donald Trump’s last full month in office.

Chris Chmielenski, vice president of NumbersUSA, told Newsmax that the No. 1 priority for Biden and lawmakers should be reinstating the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), known as "Remain in Mexico," that was in place under Trump.

MPP resulted in migrants who arrived at the southern border being sent back to Mexico while their immigration proceedings played out.

"[MPP] had the single largest effect when Trump was dealing with a migrant surge similar to what we’re seeing today but not nearly at the numerical levels we’re seeing today," Chmielenski told Newsmax.

"Most of the them are claiming asylum but most of them don’t qualify for asylum under U.S. law. But once they cross the border and claim asylum, they get to stay here. And in many cases, they get a work permit and they get assistance from these non-governmental organizations that are helping the government relocate them."

Realistically, Chmielenski understands that current immigration policy won’t change until Republicans regain control of Congress.

I suddenly realized what all the comparisons between the southern boarder and Ukraine were about. If we hit the dreg caravans with the missiles we’re shooting at the Russians.....

This is all by design. The Democrats are attempting to make red states blue. It is the cornerstone of the great replacement doctrine.

On another note, if the United States is so systematically racist, why are “people of color” coming here in record numbers?

AND pledged to the Democrats every election! Believe me folks this is what it’s all about. But don’t forget what kind of people are mixed in with those that truly wanna make a life for themselves. If you think the American citizen’s anxiety is through the roof right now wait until those illegal invaders hoarders come and take the little that we have worked so extremely hard for ...social security, medical benefits the list is endless! Survival of America is almost full circle to the end. To sustain a MASSIVE illegal migrants at one time will crush our nation! There’s just no way to sustain these people with schools, housing, free benefits, free everything, free food stamps, free money to buy vehicles and start a business, which you and I don’t have the privilege of, AND free college ...I’m sad to say that we’re done. And I’m infuriated!! Right now it is at 15,000 but they keep picking up groups as they reach our border...Estimation by the time they reach the border will be like 50,000. If you are not disturbed by this or enraged then I can only say that our nation is done!

Unlike the 2nd Amendment, Joe and the commie left, claim these migrants have an absolute right to trespass into the USA and lay waste to our country.

Dear Newsmax: Why can’t you tell the truth? These people are NOT “migrants.” They are illegal criminal aliens looking to come here for the taxpayer paid for freebies. Housing, clothing, food, etc.

I saw a video report of that yesterday when I was looking for something to watch in our hotel room.

The thing that was really odd to me was that the crowd was black. I didn’t know that was a predominant race in South America and Central america.

And once they arrive, all costs paid for by the American taxpayer.


An English YouTuber, History Debunked, was able to calculate, using available information, pretty much how much each new illegal migrant, costs the British taxpayer—quite a bit more than the average pensioner receives.

Oddly, in the ‘Land of the Free’ such information is apparently not readily available. We know that our new ‘guests’ are transported across the nation, have to have shelter, have to eat, have to have access to medical treatment, apparently they have to have a smart phone (’so we can track them’) and the list goes on and on.

I’m sure that any serious attempt to find out how much each illegal costs taxpayer would be roundly condemned as xenophobic and racist by all right-thinking people.

There already is supposed to be a shortage of ‘paper’-—plain 8.5 X 11 type ‘copy paper’.

Next-—they won’t be able to give them court appearance papers because we don’t have ‘enough paper’.

If all the 50-60-70 million criminal, illegal alien invaders here, wore the same uniform, we’d look like a country under occupation.

The CATHOLIC CHURCHES bus them & feed them & support them.

IT will NOT end well for any of the participants, IMO.

Mexico cannot seem to stop them at their Southern border-—and they do NOT wish to support them, either—so they WILL pass them thru.

They get on trucks, buses and , sometimes even trains. The new twist under Biden is the speed with which they are transported all over the USA as soon as they walk across the border.

The propaganda media is not covering these caravans like they did under Trump. Abbott should put up traffic cameras at every place where they come across so that Americans can check 24/7 what’s happening at the border.

Congress is complicit in this invasion. How many people in the house and senate are on the side of Americans? It is very few, sadly.

Mexico provides them with a “humanitarian visa” it’s allows them to move through Mexico as long as they keep moving towards US border.
