Third Mexican Town Welcomes Migrant ‘Caravan,’ 400 Miles Closer To US

A caravan of some 1,500 Latin American migrants, welcomed into Mexico on their 1,900-mile trek to the United States where they plan to demand asylum, was welcomed by a third Mexican town 400 miles into their journey.

On Facebook, organizer Pueblo Sin Fronteras wrote, “Thanks to the community Matias Romero for his solidarity with the caravan viacrusis migrants in the fight.”

It also gave a PayPal account to offer donations. And Washington-based reporters reached out through the Facebook account for help covering the caravan.

The town is about 400 miles from the Mexican-Guatemalan border. When they crossed that border, the group praised Mexican authorities for stepping aside.

A Facebook post cheered, “The Refugee Caravan knocking down borders yesterday in Huehuetan! Immigration agents abandoned the post when they knew we were coming. The people celebrated this first little victory!”

Two days later, on March 28, they were greeted by a second town, Arriaga, Chiapas, where received food and support.

Oh, I don’t know. How about if they march on foot fast enough the whole way, maybe put them in their own special Army infantry group. Give them some real foaming at the mouth, kill, kill, kill basic training first. But they have to stay for the whole twenty years then go back home. Put them in Syria first, until Damascus is returned to being the pretty, pristine environment that it might have been well over 5,000 years ago. Call it an environmental mission.

Or put them all in Huntington Beach. Maybe you’d see solutions from politicians and their friends then. ;-)

As Obama would say to this Mexican town, “If you like them, you can keep them”.

A day of reckoning is coming in the U.S. over the continued issue of immigration and the flaunting/disregarding of sovereignty and national laws.......the open borders and erase national borders leftards will not win.

Mexican INS is interviewing and disbanding the invasion. Thank you, Mr. President, for protecting our borders by reminding Mexico that good neighbors do not invade their neighbors.

Irineo Mujica, director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said he expects about one-third, if not more, migrants will choose to stay in Mexico.
"I hope a large majority decide to stay in Mexico now that we've seen the reaction from hate groups in the United States," Mujica told BuzzFeed News.

Keep up the good work, fellow haters.

This large army of welfare parasites are the same type that voted for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

Look at what Venezuela has become in such a short time. This is our future as well if we let George Soros (and his ilk) continue its operations.

If they are so welcome in Mexico, what is Mexico doing to make homes, provide jobs and health care?

Are they planning an incident at the USA border? Do not think that our authorities plan to step aside.

Do not think that the American people appreciate such a crass attempt to break our immigration laws. We are talking about a cataclysmic event.

We could deny them asylum because they are already in a “ safe” country which would be Mexico. Because, if Trump let’s them in, we will be facing a migrant crisis like Europe.

Some might consider this an act of war.

Yep - I was thinking they should funnel them all to San Francisco then cordon the place off so nobody can leave....

Mexico is a wonderful country.

Drop leaflets on the caravan and let them know the good news!

This is nothing new. Mexico has been shipping refugees from SA thru MX to USA for a long time. They even provide help sheets on getting refugee status and welfare in USA. They’re just more vocal now, like others, hoping to whack Trump.

I say we honor NAFTA and bus them up to the Canadian border, with help sheets for getting Canadian refugee status and Canadian welfare. Hey, Trudeau, what was that you said about taking in refugee we refuse? Hmm?
