“March of the Migrant” Caravan of Hondurans Marching to US Border DOUBLES IN SIZE… To 3,000 People!

Here we go again! Over the weekend, approximately 1,300 Hondurans were marching to Guatemala en route to Mexico so they could make their way up to the US border right in time for the November election.

On Monday, the migrant caravan, dubbed “March of the Migrant,” DOUBLED IN SIZE as it crossed through the Guatemalan border on its way to Mexico where they will head northbound to the United States.

According to Reuters, up to 3,000 migrants crossed from the Honduras into Guatemala after a standoff with police in riot gear Monday.

Via Reuters:

The crowd more than doubled in size from Saturday, when some 1,300 people set off from northern Honduras in what has been dubbed “March of the Migrant,” an organizer said. The migrants plan to seek refugee status in Mexico or pass through to the United States.

Reuters could not independently verify the number of participants, but images showed a group carrying backpacks and clogging roads near the border, some waving the Honduran flag.

Rows of Guatemalan police in black uniforms, some wearing helmets and shields, initially blocked migrants from reaching a customs booth, Reuters images showed. It was not clear how long the standoff lasted, but the group was ultimately able to cross, said march organizer Bartolo Fuentes, a former Honduran lawmaker.

A police official on site said all Central Americans could pass freely through the region as long as they complied with migration control.

“We’re going to drop in on Donald Trump. He has to take us in,” said Andrea Fernandez, 24, who left Honduras with a newborn baby, a 5-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son because she said she could not find work and feared for their safety.

That’s an invasion. It should be treated as such.

“Let Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador know that all aid is in jeopardy.”

Better still, if there’s any truth to “cut the head off the snake”, swing a machete on Mexico. They are the snake. Cut off it’s head. Stop remittances to Mexico and any circuitous third-country transfers.
A recent estimate (2014) puts remittances to Mexico at $26B annually. That’s far and away a greater number than official unilateral aid or contributions to bilateral aid. Aside from being earned here-spent there, it’s a “known unknown” if monies remitted were legally earned and taxes paid.
Worldwide, remittances from the US are an even greater amount. “But that’s another story....”
A second choice or combined with suspension of remittance is an immediate suspension of unilateral aid to Mexico and bi-lateral aid apportioned to Mexico.
Once Mexico has a period of reflection, they and neighboring countries will become more diligent in “securing their perimeter”.
It’s our choice, continue to cry, cuss and moan about illegals while we all but openly aid & abet their entry or “secure our perimeter”.

The reality is that 2/3 of the world’s population would come here if they could.

It's simply not possible.

Mexico must stop the caravan and deport all the marchers.

Otherwise, Mexico faces invasion

The fact that she aimed that comment directly at the President tells me she’s a Soros monkey, not a woman being motivated by desperate poverty. The question and her answer are both scripted, recorded and wrapped for the left wing propaganda machine to play against US.

Donald J. Trump Verified account
@realDonaldTrump 15m15 minutes ago

The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!

My brother-in-law is from Honduras and it took his nephew 10 years to get a passport visa just to come and visit........

I don't think you'll find anyone more opposed to open borders and illegal aliens than him............And that goes for the vast majority of Hispanics who are living here legally. The MSM totally ignores them........

We give Mexico $320 million a year for no apparent reason. Let’s make that pay off. Tell Mexico to stop this caravan and put them all on a train or buses back to Mexico’s southern border and beyond, or we keep our money.
