18 Oct: Sky News UK: Pay $40k and risk brutal murder: Getting into US illegally
By Stuart Ramsay, chief correspondent, and Tom Acres, news reporter
Sky News has been granted exclusive access to one such operation, which sees cartels use their expertise in transporting illegal drugs across the border to achieve the same results with people...
Traditionally, those seeking to cross the US-Mexico border are from South and Central America, but more and more are coming from as far afield as Pakistan, Afghanistan and even some African nations...

19 Oct: Sky News UK: ‘The town at the end of the universe’: Desperate migrants willing to risk everything in Tapachula
The Mexican town of Tapachula has become a hub for travelling migrants hoping to be smuggled into the US to start a new life.
By Stuart Ramsay, chief correspondent, in Tapachula
Thousands every year, millions over time, have passed through and even contributed to this strange place. The residents are extraordinarily understanding.
Nobody is judged. They are passing through. They are going to America.
The travellers, who can afford it, meet their cartel gang handlers here. They have paid to be smuggled north through Mexico to the border with the US...
They go legal in Mexico to travel illegally to the US...

This is a business worth millions - if not billions - and the gangs and cartels that facilitate the movement north use the same routes that they developed over years to move drugs...
One of the biggest groups attempting this journey come from Asia. Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis and Afghans meet and eat in some of the now well known curry houses in the downtown district of Tapachula...
Africans hang out in hotels owned by “Papa Africa”. They are from Sudan, Ethiopia, Ghana and the Ivory Coast.
The cartel guides tell me they pay off all the criminal groups to get their cargo north...
I asked who those groups are...
“The federal police, local police, military, immigration, the cartels - the usual ones.”...

Has anyone heard from Jeb Bush lately? Maybe he could go down there and calm everyone down.

Wow! There sure is a lot of panic, here.

It sounds like Trump finally has it so that Mehico is fighting them for us.

That’s a good thing.

Witnesses say some of the migrants threw rocks and other objects at Mexican security forces,

This is an invading army. Not migrants. They are carrying their national flags. They must be stopped at all costs. Yes- at all costs.

Yeah, what was the name of that movie quote? Oh yeah, ALIENS.

Except it was the humans transforming the aliens home, when the aliens went tribal on the humans.

In our reality, it's savage aliens trying to invade our home while going tribal on us. More like the Independence Day movie series. Except in that movie the humans won. We don't have the guts to beat back the savage aliens because of the liberal traitors among us.

If only the USA had a fully functioning Attorney General.

The attorney general has no jurisdiction over invading armies. This is a job for a 4 Star General.

“The Mexican town of Tapachula”

Should be within range of our artillery.

If not a flight of B-52’s and/or B-1’s should do the trick.

Any way you dice it, it’s a desperation plan. You don’t incite an invading mob, with all the possibilities for unintended blow-back, unless you’re desperate.

Yep, big time desperate. And not only will it not work, it’ll backfire.

If they start traveling through Meh-e-coh, Trump should shut down the border - no goods or services crossing the border bridges. Two or three days without a major part of their national income shut off will inspire them to take action. Remember that the new president of the country is not a flaming nut case like the previous two.

This will warm their burritos:

The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military,[2] designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. [3] Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray[4] since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human subjects. Raytheon is currently marketing a reduced-range version of this technology.[5] The ADS was deployed in 2010 with the United States military in the Afghanistan War, but was withdrawn without seeing combat.[6] On August 20, 2010, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department announced its intent to use this technology on prisoners in the Pitchess Detention Center in Los Angeles, stating its intent to use it in “operational evaluation” in situations such as breaking up prisoner fights.[7] The ADS is currently only a vehicle-mounted weapon, though U.S. Marines and police are both working on portable versions.[8] ADS was developed under the sponsorship of the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program with the Air Force Research Laboratory as the lead agency.[9][10] There are reports that Russia[11] and China are developing their own versions of the Active Denial System.[12]
