TAPACHULA, Mexico (Reuters) -A dozen undocumented migrants on Mexico's southern border sewed their mouths shut on Tuesday in a bid to convince the country's immigration authority to grant them passage toward the U.S. border.
The migrants, mostly Central and South Americans, helped each other seal their lips using needles and plastic threads, leaving a small space to consume liquids and using alcohol to wipe away drops of blood from the stitches, Reuters images show.
“The migrants are sewing their lips together as a sign of protest," said Irineo Mujica, an activist at the demonstration. "We hope that the National Migration Institute can see that they are bleeding, that they are human beings."
Some were carrying their children when they staged the dramatic protest in Tapachula, a border city with Guatemala, which for months has been filled with thousands of migrants waiting for papers to be able to freely cross the country.
"I'm doing it for my daughter," said Yorgelis Rivera, a Venezuelan. "She has not eaten anything in the last few hours and I see no solution ... from the authorities."
"We are like prisoners here," Rivera said, adding she has been waiting for a response from Mexico's migration agency for more than a month.

that has got to be the most absurd way to protest anything that i’ve ever heard.
Deportations by trebuchet would reduce their fervor.
A bit over dramatic.
Behead these parasites and shrink their heads; the mouths are already sewn shut. Go retro on them.
I love my people —- pull—-aaaahhhh—— blam! It’s good to be the king!
What’s their complaint? Speak up!!! I can’t hear you.
One can hope that this style of protest spreads to BLM, Antifa, and the U.S. Congress.

Because nothing says “please let us in... we aren’t insane, really” quite like sewing your mouth shut
Help ‘em out with some super glue to top it off.
If only this method of protest would catch on with certain
short-skirted, word salad-spewing, race-baiting motor-mouthed Socialist-Progressives from New York.

who also voted for Hugo Chaves that resulted in the communist utopia that she is now escaping from. Yeah, as if the USA needs more people like her. /spit.
Just what we need. More crazies.
Because the only way to save this country is a large influx of people with mental health issues.
My expectation for Trump from Day One of his second term will be to immediately begin construction of the border wall. I don’t want to hear more excuses about Congressional funding and then find out in Year Four that they are finally using discretionary funding - they need to be making plans for the border wall right now. That’s a big part of why I will be voting for Trump again.
Finally, poor Hispanic immigrants who won’t be obese and need treatment for diabetes.
to grant them passage toward the U.S. border.
see, it has nothing to do wi asylum or being refugees...
If they need money, they ought to take 100% of the budget from FBI and CIA and just start building the wall. It’s a national emergency.
Far too crazy to let in here. We have enough insane people as it is!
