Caravan of migrants swells to 7,000 and stretches more than a mile long as they continue marching...

The throng of Central American migrants advancing toward the U.S. border in southern Mexico has now swelled to a whopping 7,000 people as they defy the efforts of four governments to break them up.

Thousands of mostly Honduran migrants rose at dawn on Sunday from the shores of a river between Guatemala and Mexico and continued their trek northward, overwhelming Mexican government attempts to stop them at the border.

Their numbers swelled from 2,000 to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile. That number has now reportedly risen to 7,000.

Several hundred more already had applied for refugee status in Mexico and an estimated 1,500 were still on the Guatemalan side of the Suchiate River, hoping to enter legally.

It came as President Donald Trump fired off a tweet on Sunday afternoon, saying: 'Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Southern Border.

'People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the U.S. will turn them away. The courts are asking the U.S. to do things that are not doable!'

Trump went on to add in a separate tweet: 'The Caravans are a disgrace to the Democrat Party. Change the immigration laws NOW!'

It was not immediately clear where the additional travelers had materialized from since about 2,000 had been gathered on the Mexican side Saturday night.

They seemed likely to be people who had been waiting in the Guatemalan town of Tecun Uman and who decided to cross during the night.

It is way past time to declare war on Soros, his family and his organization. Seize everything they own in our territory, pressure allies to do the same,focus our intelligence assets on identifying the players, find them, capture them and transport them to Guantanamo, there to face a tribunal as war criminals.

It appears that the men outnumber the women by at least 100 to 1.

A mile is 5,280 feet. 7,000 people in a caravan over a mile long would be walking in single file. I doubt that. So one of those numbers is a lie.

From the videos it looks like somebody has supplied them with dozens of new Chevy pickup trucks.

How did “it swell to 7000”?
soros money paid for buses to bring thousands more to the crowd.

This is phoney - it’s because of the elections.

Shoot a few invaders at our southern border, and that column will evaporate.

NO NO NO Nothing to worry about. I’ve been assured (as well as berated) about how the red wave in the coming election is the answer. Once they see the Republicans have mantained control od Congress why these invaders well soon pack it in and run back home.
