Trump's resolve is breaking the migrant caravan up fast

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

Trump getting ‘er done bump!

Partner, These Illegal Aliens will not make it through our Armed Forces.

Partner, Thank God President Trump is our POTUS since the last 28 years before President Trump there was no fighting by our presidents on Illegal Immigration to the United States.

This is why we have at least 40 Million to 50 Million Illegal Aliens and we need to ship them all back to the original country.

While being grateful for the work your brother did. It would have been far cheaper to just shoot the invaders.

Dead enemies don’t come back.

Partner, we need a Southern Border Wall at 30' High to keep these Illegal Alien vermin out of our country.

President Trump has to face a hostile DemonRat party and they better give him the funds to do this since I blame one of the worst Speakers of the House in Paul Ryan, what a joke he was as the Speaker.
