Did you hear about the migrant caravan? No… not that one. The current Honduran caravan is still weeks away from the United States and is causing more headline hysteria than any actual threat to our borders thus far. I’m talking about the new caravan. According to NBC News, this one is forming up in El Salvador and planning to leave next week. And it may make the Honduran group look like small potatoes.
As the Trump administration makes preparations to combat the 6,500 member Honduran migrant caravan making its way toward the United States, the Department of Homeland Security is also tracking a new caravan taking shape — this time from El Salvador, according to two U.S. officials, a local source on the ground in Central America and an internal U.S. government report obtained by NBC News.
The El Salvadoran caravan is still forming, but its members have plans to begin their journey northward towards the U.S. next week, according to the sources.
The internal report indicates that DHS is tracking the communications of caravan members, including a 230-member WhatsApp group that intends to leave on Oct. 31.
Just what we needed. A separate report suggests that this one is growing quickly and may consist of as many as 7,000 people. The fact that it would be coming from El Salvador is of no comfort either. Honduras is bad enough, with most of the country run by gangs and drug cartels, but El Salvador is the original home of MS-13. This is not to say that the migrants planning to travel are a pack of gang members, but would it be all that surprising if some of the aspiring MS-13 hopefuls decided to blend into the crowd and make their way into the country?
Before anyone on the left begins cheering this next army of migrants on, at what point are you going to admit that there’s a limit to how many incoming waves like this we can brace for before the system is entirely overloaded? The fact is, our immigration system at the border is already overloaded. We can’t process the asylum requests of the people showing up now in any reasonable amount of time. The Honduran flood of humanity would have us backed up for months. If we add another 7,000 on top of that we may as well just throw in the towel.
This is why we need a secure border with controlled access points. In other words, build the damn wall. But even that’s not enough. Mexico is the Safe Third Country in this equation and it should be their responsibility to either stop these people at their southern border or take them in as refugees themselves. Of course, history tells us that’s not going to happen so we’ll be left to deal with the crisis on our own. Meanwhile, Congress continues to play politics with border security in the form of the #RESIST movement. Either way, it doesn’t sound like this ends well at all.
We’re gonna need a bigger wall
It may be go time?
RE: We’re gonna need a bigger wall
Too late. We should have built it starting two years ago.
So since there is no wall, We now have to device a plan to handle the CURRENT migration from several countries.
Another invasion column on tis way.
There’s already the Democrat Fifth Column here in the states.
Yes but this one will most definitely NOT have MS-13 in it! /s
You’re right- everyone in the GOP dilly dallied and played politics with our security and our sovereignty
“...how many incoming waves like this we can brace for before the system is entirely overloaded?”
Overloading the system to tip the nation into chaos and revolution is the idea per Saul Alinski’s “Rules for Radicals”. They do not see this as a bad thing. Perhaps that is the next insurance policy against the Trump administration.
Too bad we did not have a party that sided with the citizens and rule of law 30 years ago when we were promised border security and enforcement to make another amnesty unnecessary.
The perfidy of the GOP is what brought US to this point.
Destroy their logistics.
infiltrate their groups and get them marching the wrong way. Some day in 2019 they will reach the Patagonia.
It would be very interesting to be a fly on the wall in the Oval Office during the planning meetings about this WAR!!!
If you live in my current state (California), you may want to get your TB and Hepatitis shots up to date now, before the serums run out. Just sayin’.
The president has the right intentions, but there are too many who are determined to work against him for there own reasons. He can’t do it without some cooperation from congress and the senate. By ‘do it’, I mean put thousands of armed military at the borders with permission to shoot to kill.
There are some military there now, but most are unarmed. Unarmed will not help us, and puts those soldiers lives in danger. The hordes will come after any Border Guards directly. I still hope that something gets done to keep most of these people out. It’s not over quite yet.
If we add another 7,000 on top of that we may as well just throw in the towel.

That has been the plan for the last 30 years.
Flood the country with fraudulently documented foreigners and force US into another amnesty.
The Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

@realDonaldTrump
We are a great Sovereign Nation. We have Strong Borders and will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!
For those who want and advocate for illegal immigration, just take a good look at what has happened to Europe over the last 5 years. A total mess! They only wish they had that decision to make over again.
Hail, hail, the gang’s all here, what the heck do we care, what the heck do we care?
This migration test case is working out great for the bad guys. Dems forgot to have the filled out absentee ballots and voter ID forms in Spanish instead of English. How could they be so un PC?
Oh well, tens of thousands of new permanent Dem voters on board. Puerto Rico, Guatemala,El Salvador, and why not Nigeria and Somalia and Uzbekistan.
Sing it: It’s election time and the time is right for dancin’ in the street. And don’t forget the Motor City.
Flood with aliens. Aliens vote. We lose our country.
This is exactly how the communist party conquered South Africa.
People from the church in my hometown think we need to welcome these people with open arms because they are all God’s children.
Another stated that with all the people leaving Chicago, the caravan bunch could move there.
They’ve really been drinking the kool-aid.
The GOP should push a Build the Wall bill through Congress and let the Demons go on record as officially opposing controlling immigration.
