MEXICO.- La Bestia, the train that hundreds of Central Americans travel on top of and in between its wagons on their journey through Mexico to the U.S. border, may no longer be used for this purpose. According to Mexico’s Secretariat of the Interior, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, measures are being taken to restrict non-permitted use of the train. La Bestia has already claimed the lives of many migrants riding on it, and has also resulted in hundreds of injuries (including dismemberment) to those who have fallen off it.

“Who are you going to believe? Mexico or O’s regime?’’<< Neither of them. They’re two scorpions in a bottle.

Rumors abound, and talk is cheap. I'll believe this when I actually see it implemented. Independently verified.

Next week: Secretary John Kerry said it made him feel proud to present the Mexican President with a giant 20 foot long Check for 7million dollars, enough to cover the costs of at least two La Bestia Transport. Buses. They will be called La Bonita y la Bestia, or Beauty and the Beast.

Maybe Barry is going to start sending convoys of Border Patrol vehicles down to Central America to pick them up. Either that or they’ll be getting airline tickets paid for by the taxpayers. “Refugees” have it pretty rough these days. s/

HA!

In other countries, all immigration asylum and visa requests are channeled through the local American Embassy.

Look for an uptick in embassy staff being assigned/hired to points south and a corresponding uptick in SNAP applications. Then they’ll buy the buses.

Maybe after Barry decided to buy a house in California it occurred to him that the illegal “children” gang members might storm his gates or curse one of his daughters with an unwanted baby.

I bet Mexico is tired of having to take care of the injured on their way north. I bet a dollar for donuts on this one.
