Trump's resolve is breaking the migrant caravan up fast
American Thinker ^ | 11/05/2018 | Monica Showalter

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

It was the year we elected GHW Bush.
It was his responsibility to implement the enforcement provisions of the 1986 amnesty.
He had other ideas.
He wanted a New World Order that subsumed the USA to the UN.
We would not vote for the New World Order so they are importing people who will.

And they don’t have individual taxes like we do here, so they think the government is just miraculously rich.

If they get into the US, some liberal judge will rule that we must release them, feed them, educate their kids, give them free apartments, free welfare, free car to get to work, put their kids thru college, give them minority preference for jobs, relocate them all over the country to place Democratic-leaning voters into red Suburban and rural districts, and we the taxpaying citizens of the United States will not have a thing to say about it.

And if Cox doesn’t win the race for Governor it will only get worse with Newsome.

Brown was bad enough, but he is getting old.

Newsome will turn the whole CA state into what he did to San Francisco; needles and drugs everywhere, homeless peeing and dropping a duce in doorways, massive amount of car break-ins etc etc

They haven’t a clue how our government works......how could they? They've lived under dictatorships and leaders who rob everything from the government coffers intended for the people.

Look.... one lady said when she needed her pills the only thing their government did was give her a prescription to buy it. Their expectation of government hand outs is extremely high.....that is of course socialism. which they’ve lived under. They already expect the US to help them when they get here.

The Catholic church in the USA gets MILLIONS of $’s from the government to protect and traffic illegal invading criminal insurgent colonists here in our country.

They are a corrupt anti-American anti-Christian organization these days.

Trump didn’t blink and venezuala/soros/mexico, whoever it was who financed this, i’m thinking the first two, dont’ give a damn about the people and dont want to throw good money after bad.

They are truly disgusting.

And a lot of the caravan are feeling like suckers right now.

The mostly male 20 somethings do Not want to go up against US troops.

They likely don’t believe the troops won’t intervene with force because where they are from, it’s done quite reguarly.

What is the difference between some US billionaire funding illegal migration to the US and some "coyote" doing it?

I am sure you have observed the the rich have different rules, that may seem to be biased in their favor. If you want equal rights..... well one of my teachers explained it this way over 60 years ago.... You have just as much right to be rich as the other guy.

Reports I’ve read is all those from Hondouras etc. who are flown back to their country after deportation just get in another caravan and keep on coming.

Which is why we must let them try to cross our border. Then we can kill them for attacking us.

Else the roaches just keep coming back.

100 Migrants Apprehended Daily Along U.S.-Mexico Border, Say Feds

https://www.breitbart.com/border/2018/11/05/1100-migrants-apprehended-daily-along-u-s-mexico-border-say-feds/

Even if the caravans dissipate we need to keep the tents, barbed wire and military there until this stops.

Yeah, instead of trying to take on the 82d Airborne at the border, they will come across in 5 and 6’s each night at 18 river crossings. Soro’s not going to let his dough be spent for nothing.

These people leaving for Vexico City don’t look like they’ve just traveled all those miles??? There clothes are in better shape than a lot of Americans! Even if they’ve been given hand me downs, which it doesn’t look like that.

Therefore....our we sure these aren’t mexicans going along for the ride to claim they’re with the group????
