'We Won't Be Broken.' Caravan of Migrants Sets Sights on U.S., Defying President Trump's Threats
Time Magazine ^ | October 21, 2018 | Ioan Grillo

Lining up on the rocky bank of the Suchiate river, which runs along Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala, a thronging crowd from the migrant caravan shouted to their companions squatting on the international bridge. “Venganse,” they chanted, come on over. Minutes later, groups from the bridge poured down the hill to jump on rafts made with tires and crossed into Mexico. No police stopped them.

With large numbers making it over the river into Mexico by late Saturday, participants from the caravan of Hondurans and other Central Americans settled temporarily in the plaza of this border city. Some lay exhausted, mothers curled up asleep with children, resting before they would continue their march on Sunday.

But others were in an upbeat mood, dancing and singing. A Mexican federal police operation to stop them on Friday, which had been applauded by U.S. President Donald Trump, had failed to halt their advance. “We are going to stay together, we won’t be broken,” said Edwin Rosas, a 31-year-old-builder from Progreso, Honduras, his shirt off in the humid evening. “We will keep going all the way.”

The caravan of an estimated 3,000 refugees and migrants, mostly without papers, first set out from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on Oct. 13, with the intention of heading through Guatemala and Mexico to the United States. As it pushes onwards, defying borders and growing in number, it has shaken governments through Central and North America....

It sounds like President Trump is steadfast and sincere, not shaken.

I guess they see themselves as a kind of punishment, to be inflicted on us.

They may not be broken, but they may be dead. Armies invading the U.S. need to be stopped, by whatever means necessary.

We elected President Trump to stand up for the US. If he doesn’t use the military to stop this exodus, he’s failing us miserably. He has to stop listening to swampthings who have found their way into the WH inner circle.

Shut the Mexican border .

Did you see the interview on FOX of the guy who had been deported and was coming back? He said he missed his family so he is coming back. There is a revolving door on the border. Nobody ares about the law.

Everyone seems to pick and choose which laws must be obeyed. I’m frankly sick of it.

They are not defying President Trump’s “ threats”
They are defying the laws Trump swore an oath to defend
What about all the people who have applied legally and are waiting????

Why do they think they are entitled to come here? and to be taken care of by Americans. They aren’t asking....they are demanding.

If they are carrying Flags and sing their national anthem. Sounds like an invading Army to me. Not a group of Migrants. This is an invasion and the Govt needs to respond when and if they get to our border

Sounds like an invasion. Treat it like an invasion.
We would not be in this position if the lefturds hadn’t obviated nearly every meaningful immigration law we’ve ever had.

Deploy US Military to the border.
Seal the border, completely.
Order the Immigration folks to FULLY INSPECT EVERY BOX AND CONTAINER entering at ALL legal checkpoints; back the damn traffic up to Mexico City.
Immediately deport ALL illegals attempting to breach the border.
Open the rules of Engagement to include use of deadly force as response to threat of injury or death.

Trump can not do this alone. He’ll need our help.
