Migrant caravan re-forming to resume push north, uncertain if it can reach US

Rodrigo Abeja, a caravan leader, said that Sunday morning, they would move on toward Tapachula, Mexico, near the Guatemalan border.

"We don't yet know if we will make it to the (U.S.) border," he told AP, "but we are going to keep going as far as we can."

The group's decision to re-form capped a day in which Mexican authorities again refused mass entry to migrants on the bridge, instead accepting small groups for asylum processing and giving some visitor permits.

Mexico had sought to maintain order after a chaotic Friday in which some migrants rushed across the bridge only to be blocked by officers in riot gear.

Undaunted by the heavy police deployment on the bridge, many of the migrants made their way across to Mexico by crossing the Suchiate River, This, they accomplished by swimming, using ropes, or paying locals who charged modest sums to ferry people across the muddy expanse.

But the pace was slow, conditions hot and uncomfortable, and patience wearing thin.

"Please let us in, we want to work!" AP said migrants were calling out at the main gate.

If they don’t get transportation they aren’t going anywhere.

They have reached “asylum” in Mexico. No need to go any further.

“Please let us in, we want to work!”

I’m sure some of them do.

They shouldn’t be here, but i know plenty of hard working Mexicans.

The question isn’t about how much they want to work or even HOW HARD they want to work.

The question is, is it LEGAL for them to be here?

The answer is, of course, no.

They wouldn’t even consider it they knew 10,000 American patriots were waiting for them at the border.

Why is anyone tolerating these people? Why are countries afraid to dump people back to their home countries?

Do a Bing search for images of Honduran caravan and notice how many of these people are flying the flag of the country they are fleeing and claim they need asylum from.

It can only get to the US border with the complicity of the Mexican government.

There better not be any complicity from the Mexican government.

Mexico is a socialist paradise. Any “asylum” they desire can be had there.

Here is the key to understanding who is funding this: https://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2018/05/01/reports-soros-funding-border-caravan-invasion
The current on the ground leader is Rodrigo Abeja, Pueblo is funded by CARa, which is the umbre)a group boght and paid for by Soros “Open Society”.

Exactly.

I have no problem with Congress increasing legal immigration quotas from Mexico AFTER we effectively regain control of our borders. I have a huge problem with the left-wing Congressmen goading people to ignore the very laws they made.

Trump made a good call to put pressure on Mexico and to say that we will close our borders to this mob. People have to learn that the ONLY way they can get into this country is through legal means.

I’m neither denying nor affirming but merely asking since I didn’t click through to the foreign hosted/registered site.

I am happy to fulfill your ‘needs.’
