TECUN UMAN, Guatemala — A standoff between thousands of Central American migrants trying to reach the United States and Mexican police stretched through the night with some migrants hanging from the closed border gate wailing "there are children here" while others slept on the crowded bridge linking Guatemala to Mexico.
But they were met Friday by a wall of police with riot shields on the Mexican side of the bridge. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated, joining the sea of humanity on the bridge.
Police and immigration agents began letting small groups of 10, 20 or 30 people through the gates if they wanted to apply for refugee status. Once they file a claim, they can go to a shelter to spend the night.
As night fell on the bridge, the migrants' frustration turned to despair as women clutching small children took up the rows in front of the gate pleading with the Mexican federal police. Some migrants yelled "We are hungry!" Others wailed that they had children while others set up tarps to prepare for the night sleeping on the increasingly dirty and befouled bridge.
A Mexican marine official with a loudspeaker approached the gate and told migrants they would be taken in trucks to "a humanitarian attention center" in Tapachula, a border city in the Mexican state of Chiapas. But the official did not say when this would happen.

“We are hungry!”
Booo freaking hooo.
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on anyone else’s part.
They are clueless. The gangs controlling the American cities they are headed toward, have better arms their own police. Someone is sending those people to their deaths for cheap political gains.

That is fine, we have our quota of Lamebrains who fall for Demon tricks.
Let them eat tacos.
Most of the poor here and Mexico are obese. If I were truly hungry.....I’d go kill something to eat.
You mean they don’t have fast food outlets there...can’t they just hop out of line and go buy something to eat?
Just more moochers wanting a FREE HAND OUT and coming to America tax payers to mooch off of...I’m sick of all of them...NO MORE WANTED HERE...time to stop the flow into the USA...
I think they’ve believed Taco Bell’s advertising and are now making a run for the border
Solution to these problems: A one-way bus ticket back to Honduras. The whole caravan and the expectations of these people are insane.
I never tasted a decent taco in the US. Like munching wood. And here in Israel, it’s hard to get a decent tortilla. They’re all made out of wheat flour. But the tacos are better here. Uh oh. Are they all calling El Al now?
Not to be mean, but did they not know they would need to eat during a trek such as that? What did they expect to happen?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Damn, first post and end of thread... Nice work; couldn’t agree more.
Someone said the estimated average total trip cost per illegal in the phony mob is $7,000 including food and water. Soros groups supposedly supply the trains, planes and bus ground transportation and hundreds of pounds of food supplies.
Not even an American cowboy group could cover that much ground and have three meals a day plus spring water in plastic bottles ready for each day. Even without Angie Dickinson or Karen Black to offer a warm bath and some whiskey at a trail side place in town.
No one could “walk” hundreds of miles in a few days in time for midterms. I’m not counting their Quality Inn stays or rental cars. Maybe it’s manna from God, but I think it’s Soros.
It is, this TOTALLY reeks of something organized by the Rats and Soros and if evidence is found that is the case, then wow, absolutely charge those those responsible with sedition if not flat out treason. This is encouraging a foreign nation to invade the USA
President Trump is the new sheriff in town. How do I know this?
He headed them off at the pass.
I crack me up.

My theory is she was lied to by those working for Democraps and Soros. Something like this just doesn’t suddenly happen. These people were lied to solely to create this mad rush to the border just in time for the midterms. They were probably told they would be taken care of and that the US was granting amnesty.
And about half look middle eastern than Honduran. Of course, since I said that, I might be a racist...Oh well.
