We Are Hungry!' Migrants Wail at Mexico-Guatemala Border
New York Times ^ | 10/20/2018 | AP via NYT

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.

Then GO HOME!

These parasitical INVADERS are owed NOTHING by other nations!

Most of them are FAT, all of them are wearing NEW clothes, they've been eating, drinking bottled water along the way, and they've been PAID!

All worked into a single paragraph. What a task that poor writer had.

And who befouled the bridge? Shame on you, whoever you are!!!! They need to put up signage: No Befouling the Bridge!

OMG! You set out to invade a country and some darn idiot forgets the diapers??!!!

C’mon, do these people really just grab the kids and start walking? And then make it the world’s problem that they didn’t pack any food or diapers?

And gee, all I hear about are the starving children and their “pity me” moms. There are no fathers? No men?

I’m so over this carp. Send in our military and close our borders. Oh, and whatever happens to those kids, it is their parents’ fault. Only their parents.

In your picture I didn't see any starving, diaperless babies or mothers.

All I see is a bunch of fighting age men. Hmmm.

Inform citizens that struggle (or not) to get social services that these invaders want to take it for themselves, and send them down there.

That is EXACTLY what is missing, on that bridge, on the left side of the aisle and with about 50% of the population- COMMON SENSE

There must be some kind of COMMON SENSE GENE that is absent in all these people. This is why we cannot get through to them-they cannot process the point that actions have consequences.

If they are still handing out 15 day visas, they will end up at our border just like last time.

Of course. This caravan is bs. There is mini caravans all over the border that sneak in. There is no stopping this flood everyday without a real effort. It's been like this for decades and r's and d's keep on kicking the can.

China/Russia/AQ or any other group out there simply stands back and watches the US crumble before groups of kids and mommas.

War is simply demographics sped up. The outcome is obvious.

There is an FR thread from this spring I think about them as they funded the last politically charged mob. I think they are in San Diego.
