I’m sure there is some way, but La Prensa doesn’t allow copy and paste. At least not the last time I tried it. I don’t like posting articles in Spanish but with local news I don’t have much choice.

If I find a way, I’ll give it a try.

The article basically say that Trump announced today that he is going to put 15K troops on the border between the US and Mexico to stop the migrants from Central America from coming through. It quotes Trump saying that there are 5K there now and we are going to go to 10 or 15K.

Then it says something interesting. It quotes Trump as saying that guarding the frontier will not involve active duty troops, but might involve calling up troops just like Afghanistan. “It’s a bunch of dangerous people” Trump says, and the article implies that his saying that has something to do with the mid-terms in less than a week. Then Trump is quoted commenting on how unruly a second caravan has been over the past two days, and how there’s another one forming in Salvador even now. .

Then the article starts to ramble on about the first caravan of 3.5 people, and the second one of 2K people, and how they are walking through Chiapas which is on the border with Mexico, and finally how the Department of Homeland Security calls this an unprecedented crisis.

What’s interesting is that la Prensa gives Trump more respect than our own press does.
