Caravan won't end in Mexico. Some migrants will risk trip to US border

The caravan of Central American migrants going through Mexico to the US border isn't ending. Instead, its participants will disperse into smaller groups after reaching Mexico City.

While some will stay in Mexico to try to get refugee status there, others will continue north to the US border.

Organizers of the caravan estimate that some 200 or so people will proceed all the way to the US border in the coming days, although the number could be higher. Last year, about 150 went all the way to the border, they said.

Pueblo Sin Fronteras caravan or People Without Borders has organized the event for years. The caravan has always dispersed into separate, smaller groups at some point along the journey. What has been striking is that this year's event has the largest number of people ever, with more than 1,100.

They’ll be holding pre-made protest signs in English when they can’t
even speak English.

Isn’t 200 less than the daily number crossing illegally?

Unfortunately, whatever military force we put on the border is limited by law to monitoring, intelligence, construction, etc.

Which frees up the Border Patrol to do their job.

Also BTW giving the Border Patrol more eyes and ears to find the illegals.

WHY are they coming here? Is it because they know
Americans are stupid enough to take care of them?

*************

Essentially yes. Some will ask for asylum and many
just mix into the population.

Is it even possible that you don’t know the difference between guns pointing OUTWARDLY over our borders and the prohibiting of those border guns pointing INWARDLY?
No one is moving to keep people IN as Americans are free to LEAVE. Guns pointing outward are to deter an INVASION.
That’s a huge difference.

They've dropped their optix because the Dems intervened.

Nothing says good-bye mid-terms like a foreign army poised at the border...

One through the head when they cross the border illegally should do it. Invaders. Criminals. Losers.

"Aka Posse Comitatus. However, should DJT declare we are being invaded, then all bets are off and the full use of military force or some sort of ROE can be used. "

Actually there is precedent to an end-run around posse comitatus which can be used to federalize National Guard: Pres. Trump can cite the Insurrection Act - a pretty good fit for foreign nationals infiltrating and intentionally causing border chaos.

It is high time the US Starts charging people for services and cut them off. They should pay for education. They pay to put their children in summer programs. They can pay year round. They just want free child care in our schools so they can make money. They could care less if their children learn anything.

why not indict the organizers, this is clearly an conspiracy to violate federal law.

And most of Obama’s administrators.

The caravan is actually irrelevant. What matters are all the lessor organized efforts still in progress.

We should think of the illegal immigration as a water stream from a faucet. that stream is the integration of all of those lesser flows.

there is a valve but it can never be closed. there is always some stream that can’t actually be measured. the stream has been reduced but it still flows. the caravan residual flow is not significant compared to the ordinary day to day ongoing flow.

the Trump solution is to eliminate the leaky valve and build an impenetrable wall.
