TECUN UMAN, Guatemala A standoff between thousands of Central American migrants trying to reach the United States and Mexican police stretched through the night with some migrants hanging from the closed border gate wailing "there are children here" while others slept on the crowded bridge linking Guatemala to Mexico.
But they were met Friday by a wall of police with riot shields on the Mexican side of the bridge. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated, joining the sea of humanity on the bridge.
Police and immigration agents began letting small groups of 10, 20 or 30 people through the gates if they wanted to apply for refugee status. Once they file a claim, they can go to a shelter to spend the night.
As night fell on the bridge, the migrants' frustration turned to despair as women clutching small children took up the rows in front of the gate pleading with the Mexican federal police. Some migrants yelled "We are hungry!" Others wailed that they had children while others set up tarps to prepare for the night sleeping on the increasingly dirty and befouled bridge.
A Mexican marine official with a loudspeaker approached the gate and told migrants they would be taken in trucks to "a humanitarian attention center" in Tapachula, a border city in the Mexican state of Chiapas. But the official did not say when this would happen.

Dear Publix, Could you please build Publix Supermarkets in Central America. Those people don't have food stores, so if build some, they can shop for food in their countries, instead of invading America. Thank you...
The solution... 😋
Future welfare dependant “democratic” party voters.
Be a shame if anything were to happen to him..?

Once they arrive and settle into their new country they will demand 3 meals a day, medical care, a place to stay and any instructions must be in Spanish.
Gracias America.
Now get lost.
Well, if they’re that hungry and decide to resort to cannibalism, I know which fat bastard in the photo I’d choose to be Dinner.
It’s mind boggling.
who fed illegals yesterday....
No more millions of dollars in aid for any Latin or Central American country. Did anyone know we were gouged that much money for foreign aid? Let’s publicize that, FReepers. Would be a good campaign issue for next time if we offer to cut them off. Help us balance *our* budget by saving on this and cutting off Planned Parenthood.
Sheriff: ICE Forced to Quick-Release Migrant Families in Arizona
told Arizona Sheriffs it has run out of detention space to handle the number of migrants illegally crossing the border and presenting themselves at ports of entry. This lack of housing and the Flores Settlements 20-day release requirement forced ICE to release a large number of family units” in Arizona all at once.
Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot told Fox News, ICE hasnt been able to keep up with individuals coming up the border from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, because theyre overwhelmed. Theyre releasing them out of the front door of their facilities Each of our communities are going to be faced with this crisis and one thing sheriffs have said is that what goes on on the border won’t stay at the border, it’s throughout the U.S.

I like the poor destitute guy with the fancy selfie stick. And the great fan of irony holding up the flag of the country from which he seeks refuge.
Wal-Mart rubbing its grubby hands - can’t wait for them to apply for benefits here in the US
Agree.
Timed perfectly for the midterms. They think they’ll gain sympathy votes for the Democrats who “care about the children.”
At 0:28 in the video there’s a Star of David visible on the truck to the left of the lower left of the truck door window.
Behind the guy’s head climbing aboard.

Hungry?
Gp pick some fruits and vegetables. That’s what our great leaders say you will do when you get here.
I was going to post that but I knew I’d get banned.
Yep.
I tried to be as diplomatic as possible. It’s a valid question.
