Biden transition official tells migrant caravans: 'Now is not the time' to come to US

A migrant caravan moving from Honduras toward the U.S. border called on the incoming Biden administration to honor their "commitments" to the migrants moving north, citing the incoming administration's vow to ease Trump's restrictions on asylum.

But on Sunday, an unnamed Biden transition official said that migrants hoping to claim asylum in the U.S. during the first few weeks of the new administration "need to understand they're not going to be able to come into the United States immediately," NBC News reports

More than 1,000 Honduran migrants moved into Guatemala on Friday without registering as part of a larger caravan that left a Honduran city earlier in the day.

The Associated Press reported that they are hoping for a warmer reception when they reach the U.S. border, and a statement issued by migrant rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, on behalf of the caravan, said it expects the Biden administration to take action.

The Biden transition official, however, warned migrants against coming to the U.S. during the early days of the new administration, telling NBC that while "there's help on the way," now "is not the time to make the journey."

"The situation at the border isn't going to be transformed overnight," the official told the outlet.

"We have to provide a message that health and hope is on the way, but coming right now does not make sense for their own safety…while we put into place processes that they may be able to access in the future," the official said

President-elect Joe Biden has promised to reverse many of Trump’s policies on border security and immigration. He has promised to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which keeps migrants in Mexico as they await their political asylum hearings

NEVER is the correct time. Biden encouraged the mass invasion, he now owns it.

They’re holding off, waiting for the heat on the big cheat to cool down, hoping no one will notice when they start once again waving through conga-lines of millions into your towns and states.

Like France telling the Nazis that 1939 was not the right time to invade.

Like any invasion it looks like it's predominately men in that group....likely to push beyond the barriers as done in the past to show those following how to do it and what the layout is.

On Friday night, two groups of more than 3,000 Honduran migrants each pushed their way into Guatemala without registering, A third group entered Guatemala Saturday.

claiming that there were already signs of increased flows.

Since there are already pictures of thousands of migrants pushing through from Honduras into Guatemala, I think the article can stop saying that Trump is “claiming” this. Maybe it should say ..... pointing out that there are already signs of increased flows... or, better yet, there are already increased flows.

Yeah, the news cycle will manage to overlook them when they do come.
Has Biden already told Mexico to stand down or else?

Biden is playing with the suicide of the entire American society by bringing perhaps millions of people who are potentially covid (and perhaps many other communicable diseases) carriers who will spead even more death and destruction than we have already encountered.

Do you really think Biden or his administration give a crap about Americans? or for that matter congress? They’ve got the reins now and they’re going to go hell bent to take us all into to repopulating our nation to the global elites agenda.

Oh, but apparently there will be a time.

It just needs to be coordinated so they spin it as a “humanitarian crisis.”

The "unnamed" Biden official needs to understand that this horde of Hondurans marching through Guatemala like a swarm of rampaging fire ants on their way to the "Promised Land" does not consist of cultured English toffs, dressed in posh smoking jackets, sipping expensive cognac from brandy snifters, who will respond with, "By Jove, he's right!"
