Mexico deployed hundreds of riot police on Thursday to intercept a caravan of more than 4,000 Central American migrants, following demands by President Trump that Mexio, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador intervene before he has to deploy US troops.
“I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught – and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!” Trump Tweeted Thursday morning.

On Tuesday, Trump threatened to cut off aid to Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador if they “allow their citizens, or others, to journey through their borders and up to the United States.”

Mexico said in a Thursday statement that it would also seek assistance from the United Nations refugee agency for help coordinating with Central American governments of countries from which the migrants originated.

Hundreds of federal police in riot gear fanned out on the international bridge in Suchiate, on the Mexican-Guatemalan border, as the caravan of several thousand Honduran migrants trekked toward the crossing.
Guatemala also sent police reinforcements to its side of the border, after Trump threatened to cut aid to the region, deploy the military and close the US-Mexican border if the migrants were allowed to continue.
A first group of several hundred migrants arrived late Wednesday in the border town of Tecun Uman, Guatemala, where they overflowed a local shelter, leaving many to sleep in the town square or on the street, an AFP correspondent said. –AFP
The new caravan, which began in the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula with 150 migrants, is the second caravan from Honduras this year. The first caravan was largely disbanded, though a few asylum seekers successfully made it to US soil and were taken into custody.

I guess they thought that he meant what he said.
Send the military anyway. Use the Corps of Engineers to build the wall.
Fund it from the defense budget.
They better keep them the hell away from America or there will be consequences.
Never say caravan ,always say the Obama Caravan
Marching along and smiling about breaking through our borders.
Eff 'em.
We should ‘invade’ Mexico to a depth of 100 feet and build the fence in Mexico using Federal troops. Let Congress and the Courts pound sand.
Declare intel has clearly determined the borders are a national security risk. Immediately announce all vehicles coming north will be searched until further notice. Back up traffic from Tijuana to Mexico City. Then if they don’t want to play ball, shut them down completely.
Just like last year: Those cops aren’t there to stop the invaders...
They are there to funnel them efficiently north, to make sure they don’t spread out into Mexican territory.
1000’s cross everyday and get no publicity.
The question is why organize a mass invasion like this for the cameras? What’s the purpose? What are the left getting out of this?
Is it a message to the rest of the third world that it’s open season on America. Come at will?
I’m just gobsmacked that some piss-ant federal judge somewhere hasn’t issues an injunction to prevent closing the border.
You know it’s coming

The left know Trump will shut it down. There will be pathetic photo ops, videos of starving children pleading to be allowed in, with border patrol carrying guns. Perfect timing for the midterms.

That makes sense. You would think that crap wouldn’t sell anymore.
Shut border down is great threat.
