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.

“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.”
That’s exactly what needs to be done.
Move an aircraft carrier into the gulf, too.
“Mexican Riot Cops Deployed For Caravan Showdown After Trump Snaps Fingers”
Can we get some Mexican riot cops in Portland then send the regular cops to admin leave?
It actually has to happen before a judge can issue an injunction. It’s born moot.
If he does close the borders surely some judge will issue an injunction. Then the President merely declares a clear and present danger, ignore the injunction by declaring a hostile emergency and remove it from the reach of the judiciary.
Those leaders dont want to lose their gravy train lifestyles thanks to USA aid that probably goes directly into their pockets
It’s like Asian carp getting through the electric weirs into the Great Lakes.
That would be nice. Odds of him doing that?
(Rhetorical, don't bother)
Closing the border MEANS (a) no border jumping, AND, (b) NO commerce.
President Trump is not Thanos. President Trump would kick Thanos to a wimpering pile of goo. Heck, President Trump may even be able to take on Chuck Norris! But theyd be on the same side, so we will never know. Lol.
“Im just gobsmacked that some piss-ant federal judge somewhere hasnt issues an injunction to prevent closing the border.
“
Maybe these judges need a visit from a 15 man Saudi team.
Looks like Mexico has called on the UN to set up camps for the invaders, they will be determined to be refugees or not if they are not they will be sent back home, if they are they will be sent to a country willing to take them BAM!!! They will NOT be coming to the US!!!!
(For those who dont follow movies, the snap finger comment in the article was an oblique reference to Thanos wiping out half of all life with a finger snap in the Marvel universe.)
“Move an aircraft carrier into the gulf, too.”
There’s a bunch of A 10’s at Davis Monthan in Tucson.
No, no podemos
“Send the military anyway. Use the Corps of Engineers to build the wall. Fund it from the defense budget.”
Brilliant! I KNOW Military/Civilian Engineers and they LOVE nothing more than moving dirt and putting up fences! It’ll be over AND DONE in two weeks! :)
MAGA!
Great.
Interesting idea
If I have to live without Mexican Avocados, and if it will help to restore MY CONSTITUTION, and MY BORDERS and keep those filthy DRUGS out of my Community, I can and I will! ;)
(Love You! *SMOOCH*)
They are not intercepting they are escorting.
Since the military can’t enforce laws in US territory, maybe we should invade Mexico and establish a one kilometer wide security zone on the Mexican side of the border.
