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.

I lived in a rough neighborhood during the late 1970s to be closer to a job. There were quite a few large luxury cars in the neighborhood, some with chrome stars on the grills, others with round chrome spots on the grills. Some of those cars were new and some a little older.

One of my coworkers was a man who owned one of those cars. He also had a nice grill in his mouth (teeth, some gold, some studded with little diamonds). He explained to me that each of those stars or spots stood for each of their children who were living with various girlfriends. The objective, he said, was to out-populate whitey and someday take over the country.

Some of those cars had quite large numbers of chrome stars or spots on the grills—some around twenty or thirty. And that was in the late ‘70s.

The adults who set out on such a trek without enough money to sustain themselves along the way, should either go hungry, or go back home.

The UNFIT parents who brought children on this trek, without money to take care of and feed them along the way, should be arrested and sent home.

How any of this is America’s (or Trump’s) fault is beyond me...they’re nowhere near America yet.

It’s an obama/democrat thing...another lame “October surprise”.

Trump should just say, “Citizens, it’s your border, it’s your country, go take care of it any way you see fit.”

Militia time.

Though the MSM concentrates on the sob stories of grandmas & widows & orphans among the marchers, notice how in all photos of the overall crowds, the average demographic appears to be the prime recruiting age & gender for MS-13 members, drug mules, etc.

Perhaps "fleeing (1)violence and (2)poverty" really means, "(1)my gang is being annihilated by our rivals, and (2) there's nothing left here worth stealing, while we hear of easy pickings in the US".

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for
a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll
eat for a lifetime.
They should have fishing poles, they
are camped literally on top of a river.
A strong person will fend for himself,
these people are weak, and hope to
depend on us.

I’m sorry ...none of them appear to have missed more than a lunch.

Stop being the pawn that you are and GO HOME.

I travel a lot and over the last 10 years our country no longer exist as it was..we have been invaded..
military on the border, circle san diego and remove all illegals, and deport, tell all in the country illegally we will remove all of thenm one city at a time, if you leave now, there will be no penalty, if we have to catch you, then you will be sentenced to a tent city in the desert doing manual labor building the wall, then deported..
watch the caravan south..

I see about 90% military-aged males.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be an invasion.
