Heads Up: Huge surge in migrants from Central America headed toward US from Mexico

Here's some rather disturbing news from Mexico. Mexican immigration authorities are turning the other way as thousands of migrants from Central America flood immigration points headed for America.

There's no real natural disaster or surge in violence in Honduras, where most of the migrants are from. This is a cold, calculated, organized effort to storm the U.S. border with thousands of illegals.

BuzzFeed:

For five days now hundreds of Central Americans – children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras – have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.

Organized by a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, the caravan is intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but gangs and cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants.

Organizers like Rodrigo Abeja hope that the sheer size of the crowd will give immigration authorities and criminals pause before trying to stop them.

"If we all protect each other we'll get through this together," Abeja yelled through a loudspeaker on the morning they left Tapachula, on Mexico's border with Guatemala, for the nearly monthlong trek.

When they get to the US, they hope American authorities will grant them asylum or, for some, be absent when they attempt to cross the border illegally. More likely is that it will set up an enormous challenge to the Trump administration's immigration policies and its ability to deal with an organized group of migrants numbering in the hundreds.

Have we no Army? Have we no Marines? Have we no sheriffs?

For once I'd like to see this addressed the way it should be.

Instead it will be marked my indecisiveness. hand wringing, welcoming committees, "humanitarian" aid, refugee status, conditional entry visas, etc. etc. etc. It will be a media circus exploited by the Left.
