Migrant caravan re-forming to resume push north, uncertain if it can reach US
Fox News ^ | October 21, 2018 Published 2 hours agoLast Update 6 mins ago | Jeffrey Rubin

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.

Agreed.

I actually thought Mexico was pretty brutal to people who tried to get in from the south.

That was the irony all these years.

They want the same damn handouts Obama gave to every illegal plus everyone who sat on their fanny like he did.

The punks who voted for zero need to be thrown in jail.

Immigration - Global humanitarian reasons for current U.S. immigration are tested in this updated version of immigration author and journalist Roy Beck's colorful presentation of data from the World Bank and U.S. Census Bureau. The 1996 version of this immigration gumballs presentation has been one of the most viewed immigration policy presentations on the internet.

A gumball presentation of why America cannot absorb the worlds poor nor pay for them in their own countries. One of the best videos explaining this. Of course leftists will NEVER get it because they want them for votes but facts are facts.

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

If America is to be saved we must organize and take over the job the Federal Government will not do. Trump is trying but the over welling power is in the hands of the communists Democrats and many weak Republicans.

We can always count on Flimsey Grahamnesty to make things worse.

Sen. Graham told Fox News in an interview, “DACA, remember that? 690,000 kids brought here on the average age of 6, no place else to go. Trump’s going to win in court; he can repeal DACA. The day he wins in court, what do we do with these young people? So I’d like to do a deal: Full wall funding for DACA.”

But here’s the catch: Graham explicitly rules out including any further reforms in the DACA-for-wall deal. Fox host Brian Kilmeade asked him if there would be additional reforms like ending chain migration. Sen. Graham answered, “Nope, keep it simple.” Translation: Congress should punt on needed immigration reforms and just go ahead and give an amnesty. But without ending chain migration, mandating E-Verify, and ending the Visa Lottery, the DACA amnesty could result in virtually limitless new immigrants.

"...[illegal] migrants rushed across the bridge only to be blocked by [Mexican] officers in riot gear."

Just unbelievable. Mexico can put riot police on THEIR borders to keep the invaders out. But we won't.

Time for some warning shots into the Mexican desert with AC 130 Spectre...

If they stopped the women and children they accomplished success. The political value is zero if their are no families to separate.

The damn Mexicans have used both Bush’s, Clinton, and Obama. They should be paying a huge tariff for tearing up our interstates.

They only get through the US border with the complicity of the US government.

Nothing to stop them as usual. Our Government is weak and ignorant. This includes Republicans as well as the communists Democrats. According to the latest guess we have 33 million illegals in the Country now. Give the current status in about 5 years we will have more illegals than citizens. I'm sick of excuses about stopping this invasion.

My late father worked in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the depression before he went into the Marine Corps. Three hots and a cot and he sent money home to feed his family. They built roads, park, game preserves and other things.

leftists will NEVER get it because they want them for votes but facts are facts.

For many leftists it is about more than just votes. They want lots and lots ‘colored’ people from Central America, Brazil, Sub-Saharan Africa and if they can figure it out the most backward parts of India along with many many Muzzlemen. The goal is to outnumber the very bad intolerant white middle class and gradually grind it down through ‘assimilation’ and ethnic violence. They want us dead folks, its that simple.

How about we announce military drills out in the desert with approval from the Mexican gov’t to make holes just south of the border, for defensive drills purposes!

There ya go. I’m guessing being a “caravan leader” pays pretty well - he’s an organizer, not a hiking guide.

So much for the new and improved post-mcstain Lindsay Graham 2.0 everyone was salivating over during the Kavanaugh hearings.

I have an answer for Sen. Graham, those kids (who are no longer kids) can go home with their illegal alien parents or we will deport them.
If they leave on their own, they can apply to be Americans the right way.
If we have to deport them, they will never get in.

I’m done with our ‘representatives’ embracing illegals and criminal activity. I’ve had it.

Do they know that a tropical storm is due in Texas next week? Parents who subject their children to such a dangerous trip should be deported first.

Roughly 30,000 are apprehended on the southern border EVERY month. A small cities worth of population, month after month.

355,106 have been caught this year alone.

That of course doesn't take into account those that are not caught.

There is a daily, continual, invasion of our country and all of congress doesn't give a damn.

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

One latest example...

Big numbers of Central Americans arriving at Arizona border

Our congress must be forced to put an end to this insanity. Maximum pressure until they finally do the right thing and protect our sovereignty.
