Mexico Says It Will Disband Caravan, Let Migrants Apply For Permits To Stay
buzzfeed ^ | Apr 2, 2018 | Adolfo Flores

Mexico’s National Institute of Immigration (INM) said late Monday that it plans by Wednesday to disband a caravan of hundreds of Central American migrants that has been traveling through Mexico for nine days.

A federal delegate with INM who gave only his last name, Rodríguez, told BuzzFeed News that vulnerable people in the group such as pregnant women, people with disabilities, or people with chronic illnesses like HIV, will get humanitarian visas to remain in Mexico. Everyone else will have to petition the Mexican government to stay in the country or they will be ordered to leave.

Rodríguez said people who don't receive a humanitarian visa will be expected to leave Mexico within 10 days or apply for permission to remain in the country for 30 days, during which they can file with immigration authorities to remain longer.

Permission to stay does not allow the migrants to travel to the US border, he said. But caravan organizers said they plan to continue north with anyone who plans to apply for asylum in the United States.

Rodríguez said the caravan on Monday numbered about 1,100 and that the estimate its organizers had given of 1,200 for its initial size was low. He said he believed at its largest, 1,500 people were traveling north.

Looks like Mexico may take care of the majority of this. Wonder how busy the back channels have been?

I’d always heard that Mexico didn’t take too kindly to people who entered their country illegally. I wonder why they are being so soft on these people.

Mexico’s own southern border is very well policed, even with a wall in certain sections. This so-called “caravan” was allowed into Mexico, by Mexico. They didn’t just magically materialize, nor have they magically “disbanded.” Mexico wants the US border to remain porous, this was just the latest salvo and they’re complicit. Don’t buy the narrative.

Hey Mexico! While you’re at it, round up the “organizers”, give them one final smoke and “caravan” their asses in front of a firing squad.

It’s time for another war with Mexico anyway. That they would even consider facilitating this makes them a clear and present danger that must be addressed for the security of the American people.

There’s nothing going on in Afghanistan or Iraq or any of the other places where we have military deployed that is anywhere near as proximate and vital to the interests of US citizens, as is putting an end to the madness from the south.

Quiet diplomacy worked. Trump likely gets the credit. That’s why we didn’t hear much from Trump on this.

Let me take a wild guess: Perhaps it has something to do with President Trump.

“a caravan of hundreds” So it is now only hundreds as opposed to thousands. Even the picture currently circulating shows more than “hundreds.” So where did the numbers come from, and who decided on using them?

Bullshit
They will just continue to funnel them north.
That is all they have ever done for 40 years, they ain’t stopping now.
