A caravan of roughly 2,000 migrants bound for the United States early Saturday was halted by Mexican authorities only a few hours into their journey, according to officials.
The caravan, which consisted of migrants from Africa, the Caribbean, and Central America, left before dawn from Tapachula, a town in southern Mexico near the Guatemalan border, Reuters reported.
Many of the migrants who departed from Tapachula early in the morning had been held up there for weeks or months, awaiting residency or transit papers from Mexican authorities.
About 24 miles into their journey, federal police and national guardsmen blocked their path. Most of the group was detained and put on a bus back to Tapachula, while about 150 migrants returned by foot, witnesses said.

MAGA!
Yes, that is what you do with criminals. Hunt them down.
Good
Liberals need all the illegals in order to boost the census counts in liberal, sanctuary states. They get more congress critters, without needing any more votes.

Many of them thought they could go around the block but a few of them recognized that they were in a large L-shaped ambush. Discretion was the better part of valor.
Send ‘em home, either in buses or boxes! We don’t need them! We’re full up!
Could be, the Federales and Mexican NG aren’t stupid. :^)

See post 6. Covers both the buses and boxes options.
Headline could have just as easily read, “Mexico Provides Humanitarian Relief to 2,000 Immigrants.”
They are getting the votes of illegal aliens.
I never thought I’d be rooting for the Mexicans, but there’s no doubt they’re getting a taste of what we’re having to deal with on our border, and don’t like it very much.
The way President Trump was talking about the cooperation we’re now getting from Mexico suggests relations may have reached some sort of turning point.
We’ll see — but there’s nothing like shared hardship to either bring people and nations together or set them at each other’s throats. Let’s hope good sense and good will prevails.
A sovereign nation has the right to control who is allowed within its borders. If, for example, Guatemala wanted to exclude gringos, I’d be totally cool with that.

Imagine for a moment if Mexico had always been a good neighbor and had been doing this for years.
We would probably have 20 million fewer illegal aliens.
All we needed was a President that sided with the citizens and the rule of law.
The democrats/gop have no excuse anymore for saying that it’s impossible to stop the flow of illegal immigration. That lie has been exposed.
Mexico has been allowing them to pass through unhindered for decades.
They only started caring when President Trump threatened to put tariffs on Mexican products if they didn’t.
Glad they have decided to play ball, glad we finally have a President willing to play hardball for US.
All of the lies of the Bush League Republicans have been exposed.
We have to start replacing them.
Amnesty Senators do not change their spots.
