Dragging into its fourth week, all signs are on that the migrant caravan is falling apart.
According to the Associated Press:
ISLA, Mexico – A 4,000-strong caravan of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico split up into several groups with one spending the night in a town in the coastal state of Veracruz and other migrants continuing toward the country's capital.
The divisions came during a tense day in which tempers flared and some migrants argued with caravan organizers and criticized Mexican officials.
How did it happen? Obviously, someone promised them something for free and then didn't pay up. This is about what you'd expect when someone offers something for free, and then realizes that the whole thing is not going to pay off in the politically useful way he wanted.
Whether it was Venezuelan or Sorosian or Mexican, the free cash for a free ride to the border and all the free stuff of the U.S. just never materialized. That has raised questions about why the group should stay together instead of split apart. After all, anyone can apply for asylum to the states on his own. Applying in a 4,000-strong group pretty well means a long wait time.
A promised bus ride to Mexico City for thousands of migrants from Central America was the latest money that never materialized. Mexico's Veracruz governor, anxious to get the migrants out of his home state as soon as possible, promised them all free bus rides to Mexico City and then withdrew the offer, likely because Mexico City didn't want to take them. Federal authorities there warned the Veracruz governor he'd be charged with human-trafficking if his free bus rides rolled out to the Mexican capital. Obviously, Mexico City does not see itself as having much to gain politically from the big migrant caravan

What a load.
Jim, as I recall from 2016, your birthday falls sometime around the first Tuesday in November. So, happy early or late birthday, and as in 2016, I hope you get one of your best presents late in the evening of election day.
Yes, and the founding fathers were not bashful about their opinions towards the “Roman” faith.
Ludicrous nonsense. In no way is 20% of the population are Illegals. Even 10% is an overestimate.
It took quite a while before we heard an Idiotic comment.
I hate to burst your blood-thirsty fantasy but there will be no land mines, no poison gas, no firing on unarmed people.
I have to confess that the idea of poison gas is, without doubt, the most Idiotic I have seen, yet. Congratulations.
OB stated:
‘Some enterprising prosecutor ought to look into charging the US financiers of this caravan with human trafficking. What is the difference between some US billionaire funding illegal migration to the US and some “coyote” doing it? “
bitt stated:
great post and YES, where are the charges? Apparently the gov’t KNOWS about Soros money and LaRaza, etc funding this..
Maybe after the midterms we will see some fast action!

I read a freeper somewhere wonder if the military presence isn’t only for the holding back of the hordes from the south..... but could the military also be there in order to trap the coyotes and the other undesirables engaged in trafficking and drug running as they try to flee once they see the Red Tide and that their days here truly are numbered?
Build that wall! And start it on the east side of CA.
“Honduran migrant Jackson García is one of those considering asking for asylum in Mexico. “If I can find a job so as to support my family [I will stay in Mexico]. My family is very poor and I need to help them,” he said.
But many others, such as Carlos Flores, remain determined to continue to the US: “The little that you get in US dollars goes a long way in Honduras. But what you earn here [in Mexico] not so much, you have to pay for food, room, things are expensive here.”

So Senior Flores doesn’t have to pay living expenses in U.S. but does in Mexico, and that’s what he’s coming for?
Trump showing how to get things done. Pray the Republicans learn from him. I doubt they will.
Trump himself said there was 30 million, which would be around 10% of the population. People need to get their heads out of the sand, we are being replaced.
Pack mule is on its way with my little contribution! Hoping it will help with election aftermath.
One guy with his wife and kids said his dream is not big...said he will work 4 or 5 years... buy a lot.. and build a house...and small business..... His work history...”watermelon farm laborer”. They do not have the ability for critical thinking....nor of this nation. The believe asking for help we are obligated to offer it to them just as mexico's people have given them food and clothing etc. to help them get here.
And they will on US land while in tent cities? Who will be feeding them and giving them clothing while waiting?
Thirty million is a popular figure but there is no way it has been confirmed. I think there may be 15 million.
If it is 30 million it would be almost impossible to remove them. Moving 10% of the population is a gigantic task. This is just from a logistics viewpoint. If the judiciary has not been neutered they won’t even be able to get rid of 1 million a year. I don’t even know if there is a net removal given the constant influx of over two million a year.
One 35 yr old woman with three kids said most of the Honduran women in Hondouraus are ‘single mothers’ because the Honduran men do not want the responsibility. So looks like the women and children in these groups will end up on our welfare rolls.
Heck, if the guy can grow watermelons, let him in. You cannot have too many watermelons.
“go to foreign news like New mexico”
New Mexico became a state in 1913....
It’s that big expanse between Arizona
and Texas.
1988? That was Reagan.
Well... it may have served Venezuela well... getting the most disgruntled people out of the country where they’d pose no threat to the regime.
Take note: this is what happens when real men stand up against bullies, be they in the school yard, or in politics.
