Hundreds in migrant caravan turn back
The Australian ^ | 8 MINUTES AGO OCTOBER 21, 2018 | BY DELPHINE SCHRANK | AP

Hundreds of mostly Honduran migrants have begun the long trek home, some using free bus tickets from Central American authorities, while many more members of a stalled caravan remain in Guatemala at a tense border crossing with Mexico.

After clashes with Mexican riot police on Friday, some 650 migrants from the caravan made it into Mexico on the far side of a bridge over the Suchiate River, according to Mexican officials who said they were being registered.

Some 2000 Honduran migrants were already back home after giving up on continuing to Mexico, Guatemala's President Jimmy Morales said at a press conference in Guatemala City alongside his Honduran counterpart, President Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Hernandez said another 486 migrants were in transit back to Honduras, a roughly 12-hour trip by road.

"We are working to provide a peaceful and safe return trip and avoid that these movements keep happening in the future," said Morales, who added that around 5000 had amassed at the border seeking to enter Mexico.

The leaders of all three countries have come under intense pressure from US President Donald Trump, who for days has warned that the caravan must be stopped.

The power of the purse. Thankfully America has someone smart enough to use it.

BS and FAKE NEWS.

The first migrant caravan “turned around” but the remaining members were later found at the US MEX border.

Order the Customs Department to carefully search every single commercial vehicle crossing the border. No exceptions.

Should only take a day per container.

The Mexicans will bounce these invaders back to Guatemala so fast their heads will spin.

Amazing what happens when a person of authority enforces the law.

Thank you President Trump for stating you would close the border if Mexico did nothing. Mexico acted because they know President Trump would act on his promise unlike obama and his worthless red line in Syria.

"BS and FAKE NEWS.

===================================

Agreed. This "report" is to try and calm the voters.

Roughly 30,000 are apprehended on the southern border EVERY month. A small cities worth of population, month after month.

That of course doesn't take into account those that are not caught.

There is a daily, continual, invasion of our country.

And last night the traitors at AP reported that thousands of “migrants” (illegal invaders) had busted thru the Mexican border and were on their way to the US.

The propaganda spewing from the American MSM is incredible. Way past time to confront the neo-Nazis in the so-called media. (As for you paid and armed mercenaries guarding these traitors, I’d strongly suggest you find different clients.)

#7: "The first migrant caravan “turned around” but the remaining members were later found at the US MEX border."

Good analysis. We probably know more about where the "insurgents" are in Syria than we know about there the hell the "caravan" is. That is, our government will pay lip service to the whole deal, then in a couple of weeks 4000 beaners will suddenly show up on our border.

My guess is that rumor was spread that “someone” would fund their march to the US and the money didn’t show up.

Just remember that President Trump wants a wall along the border to stop this.

Who is for it?

Us!

Who is against it? In order:

A. Leftists, Marxists and democrats
B. People who hate the United States and what it stands for (see A above).
C. Cheap Labor Express donors and Chamber of Commerce members.
D. NEVERTRUMPERS
E. GOPe.

The President was hired for, among other things, to protect our border from invasion with force if necessary.

Great idea! Free one-way bus pass and application form for legal entry.

If Mexico doesn't accept them or turn them back at this juncture, Trump will close our southern border and these people will stack up at the the US border with Mexico....inside Mexico.

A few make leak through but most will be a problem for Mexico and not for us.
