BREAKING: President Trump Announces Aid Cuts to Multiple Countries Over Illegal Caravan
Townhall.com ^ | October 22, 2018 | Katie Pavlich

President Trump announced Monday morning he is starting the process to cut or reduce aid to Central American countries that haven't stopped a caravan of illegal aliens. Over the past few days, the caravan has grown from 4,000 people to 7,000.

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018

Over the weekend, President Trump again threatened to seal off the border if Central American countries or Mexico couldn't control the flow north. 

"I would call in the military and I would seal off the border. I would close up the border. If that happens, and if that continues to move forward, the caravan we’re talking about," Trump said. "I think some bad people started that caravan.. you have some very, very bad people in the caravan. But I will seal off the border before they come into this country."

In Mexico, authorities have failed to stop the massive caravan. Stretching one mile long, it has broken through borders, police lines and barricades. When the cameras are off, caravan members ditch the walking to grab rides on train and trucks.

During an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Friday, Mexican Ambassador Geronimo Gutierrez again argued Mexican immigration policy does not encourage illegal behavior and should be orderly.

President Trump is headed to Texas Monday afternoon and will campaign for Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in Houston. There's no doubt the caravan will be a heavy topic during his remarks.

But to me, [the caravan] is not the biggest problem facing this country. The biggest problem is the democratic party and the media. Illegals are just a side product of them.

Agree. But let’s continue to publicize this. Trump’s doing a great job of keeping this story in the headlines. Only good for us!

Great intel, Liz. This caravan now gives us the authority to stop these gold-plated “children” funds turned fraud.

With rulers like Portillo and gangs like MS-13, Guatamala is a real snake’s bit of crime.

The more we hear about Boobamba, the more outrageous things you find.

There you go. A Sanctuary City tour of America. Good idea. Make sure to set up emergency campgrounds for the illegals on Diane FeinSwine’s property in San Francisco.

foreign aid “childrens' funds" turned into fraud by the PTB.

Good point. Trump seized on that very effectively.

The US Marines must invade Hondouras and allow the establishment of a military government. The criminals must be rooted out and killed.

Until the cancer is excised from Hondouras, the security problem for the United States will persist. Money will not solve the problem. Troops on theground and a military governor are the olny real solution.

Precedent: Japan

Prisoners get herded into camps (in Mexico!) and eventually shipped back to their country of origin.

Nah; who cares what Mexico does with them?

Numbers 20:20-21

But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
