Right on cue: Democrats make midterm gains, so new migrant caravan launches

Dozens of Honduran migrants departed San Pedro Sula on Election Day, marking the country's third caravan since September, with participants hoping the midterm elections would create an opportunity to enter the United States, according to Latin Times. The Trump administration has maintained its hard-line immigration policies, with U.S. Embassy officials warning migrants against making the journey and threatening visa revocations for caravan organizers.

"Here in Honduras, we have nothing left," 47-year-old Jimena Morazรกn told Latin Times. Morazรกn joined the caravan with five family members.

The state of Honduras is a factor for migrants seeking to leave the country. The homicide rate is approximately four times the global average โ€” with 24 killings out of every 100,000 inhabitants, according to the outlet. Extortion at the hands of transnational organized crime groups has also rendered the cost of survival unattainable for many.

However, the U.S. midterm elections were also a catalyst. Many caravan members believed that a Democratic Congress could weaken Trump's hardline border enforcement, whether by creating uncertainty at the border or blocking new restrictions, Latin Times reported.

Border Patrol is not letting anybody in no matter who the Governor of Texas is.

This is what the hispanics in Texas voted for, White genocide.
But of course you can’t call them racist.
In fact you’re racist for even thinking it.

America voted. You have to live with what the majority wants.
Give them everything they think they voted for! Let the masses in; let them implement their Marxist desires, in their entirety! The more you resist, the more you stretch out the pain.
Rip that band-aid off.

From you lips to God's ears.

President Trump could just phone Frau Sheinbaum and tell her to tighten up. Or else.

Enjoy the trip, and write when you learn how, but save some money for the trip back.

I was just thinking this earlier: "wonder when the first caravan is going to start?"

Didn't take long.

Hinojosa promised to make Texas a sanctuary state.
But she isn’t Governor yet.
Abbott is Governor until mid January.
Trump has time to move people into position before the caravan arrives.

There was already one enroute before the actual election by a couple weeks. This is a new one post election.

Sec War Hegseth, in his short video, made a comment that is being overlooked. He said securing the border is a military priority. This could be HUGE in saving our country over the next two years.

Well, except I recall being let know a while back that the U.S. is NOT exceptional and we’re not special so why bother to defend it. More proof that:

*even if you’re p-resident.
