Caravan migrants break Guatemala border fence, rush Mexico (Update)

TECUN UMAN, Guatemala (AP) — Central Americans traveling in a mass caravan broke through a Guatemalan border fence and streamed by the thousands toward Mexican territory Friday, defying Mexican authorities’ entreaties for an orderly migration and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation.

Arriving on the Mexican side of a border bridge, they were met by a phalanx of police with riot shields. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated.

The gates were closed again, and a federal police officer used a loudspeaker to address the masses, saying, “We need you to stop the aggression.”

Waving Honduran flags and carrying umbrellas to protect against the sun, the migrants arrived earlier at the Guatemalan side of the muddy Suchiate River that divides the country from Mexico, noisily demanding they be let in.

“One way or another, we will pass,” they changed, clambering atop to U.S.-donated military jeeps parked at the scene as Guatemalan police looked on.

Young men began tugging on the fencing and finally succeeded in tearing it down, and men, women and children rushed through and toward the border bridge just up the road.

Edwin Santos of San Pedro Sula was one of the first to race past helpless Guatemalan police, clutching the hands of his father and wife.

“We are going to the United States!” he shouted euphorically. “Nobody is going to stop us!”

“They are an INVADING ARMY, so they should just be shot.”

That’s how I feel too——not very grandmotherly,I admit,but I’ve had it with these people.

They are dragging children with them——if any gets hurt it will not be our fault.

OK chief. You win. Let’s get the 50’s out and gun down all those unarmed civilians.

You lead the way, I’ll carry your ammo cans.

I hate that the Leftists have made us despise these people, women and children included. I try to be mindful that what if my family was caught in that situation, but the only honest answer is that their home countries need to be cleaned up and improved.

I do feel the same emotions. As a Christian, I want to emulate God's love.

But the Bible tells us also to respect government laws and authority.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13&version=NIV

It was God who established Nations. Not men.

For every twinge of emotion I feel, I hearken back to the families who have been destroyed and torn to pieces by Illegal Invaders.

Raped.

Murdered.

Paralyzed.

Robbed.

Enough. Go back to your own country. Illegals are coming here by DECEPTION. They are claiming that they need "asylum" because they "fear" - crime, their government, etc. OK. The international laws say they should claim asylum in the first country they set foot in.

But they don't do that. They march on - to our land, and the Take. They ruin. They usurp.

No one should ever be rewarded for lies, theft, and deception. Ever.

The flooding of the West with 3rd World Takers and Muslims is a strategy. And the Globalists know exactly what they are doing.

If we did not give out WELFARE so freely, they would not be so sure “they were going to America”.

Amen Bunny.

President Trump is working on that....

Immigrants may be denied green cards if they’ve received benefits

I’ve heard that about the Chinese women.

These Chinese women pay $40,000 or thereabouts to have their babies in Hawaii or California at those birthing centers.

When the kids are older, they don’t need a passport or visa to re-enter America, because they are automatic U.S. citizens at birth. I suppose chain migration enters the picture at that point.

Also, I’ve heard of these birthing businesses in Florida for Russian women.

Things need to change here in America and soon.

Tell you what.... I bet this was done in connivance with the Mexican military / police: The Mexican government wanted to pretend to do what Trump wanted, for the trade deal, but really wants to help them invade us.

If those invaders wanted to live in Mexico, they would have mowed them down with automatic fire.

And am I the only one who finds it a bit ironic that people who are pretending to be refugees from an evil despotic government and society, march boldly forth under the banners of those evil despotic nations, grinning like I assume the Greeks who climbed out of the horse effigy did, while they were slaughtering the guards inside the Gates of Troy?

Just pick off the gang bangers. Have the military shoot the MS-13.

I am happy that for the first time I heard Trump say he will hold back foreign aid to these countries until they get this under control and stop it

It’s pretty obvious from the video of the illegals crashing the gate that the Federales either weren’t prepared or had orders to stand down.

They’re coming here, folks, because Mexico doesn’t really care.

I like your plan, but no invasion of Mexico until the Nov election is over.
