Nearly 1,000 caravan migrants start process of entering Mexico from Guatemala
Fox News ^ | 17 Jan 2019 | Dan Gallo, Samuel Chamberlain

Posted on 01/18/2019 5:46:31 AM PST by blueplum

GUATEMALA-MEXICO BORDER – Approximately 1,000 Central American migrants in the newest caravan have begun the process of crossing into Mexico from Guatemala, a Mexican immigration official stationed at the border between the two countries told Fox News on Thursday night. A new process instituted by Mexico means that migrants will have to wait five days for their paperwork to be processed before entering the country. The new system is meant to keep things orderly after the last caravan rushed the border …

Julia Escalon, 43, of the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula, rested under the shade of a tree on the Guatemalan side, cradling her 2-year-old daughter in her arms. Escalon brought along a total of four daughters on the trip. "In San Pedro, we have nowhere to live. We can't even afford to rent a place," Escalon told The Associated Press. "I'm going to fulfill my dream and get to the United States."

However, that may not be easy. The border city of Tijuana was saturated by the first caravan in November, testing the patience of the city's residents, and Mexico's new government has since agreed to house third-country migrants while their asylum claims are heard in the United States.

I’m going to make this a two-fer. Here’s a short article about a coyote dump of a group of 247, most of which needed medical care. If we consider that each person was taken to the hospital, and a minimum charge to the govt of $1,000 per person seen, that’s $247,000 for the one group, on just the one night, plus any continuing care.

If our BP are running an endless stream of people to the hospital, how can they patrol the border, too?

Your dream and our nightmare, lady.

What gives you the right? You admit you have nothing - hence you will expect your basic needs (and those of your kids) to be met by someone else.

Go home - mooch there.

Live TV coverage 5 minutes ago show that no Mexican police
are on the border to stop border crossings.

I am sure Trump wants Mexico to let them come so the optics and stories next week will be all about the invasion.

Pelosi will have to admit there is a big problem and the news networks will be covering it since it will be such a great story.

I can see the polls shifting to Trump from those who drank the Dem Coolaid that a wall isn’t needed, and there is no border crisis.

Hmm...you may be on to something. If I recall correctly, Trump and the new Mexican president get along, and Mexico lately doesn’t seem to be happy with the illegal immigration situation either now.

The networks covered the current border chaos and the new Caravan probably be larger if Mexico allows unimpeded migration of illegals to cross Mexico.

I am sure this is well funded and buses will be providing transit to our border.

The public opinion will change and demand a wall.

New poll shows Trump Latino support at record high, and I believe blacks don’t like more low wage competition coming in to take their jobs. These two key Dem voting groups could upset Dems plans to import more voters at the expense of American minorities.

Like they all peacefully submitted paperwork, then waited for approval to rush the border gates and invade.

One America News on Direct TV is just about 24/7 pro-Trump. Its the only Tee-Vee I’ve watched in over a decade.

And that’s what needs to be done. The true math needs to be calculated and shared with this mess.

Enjoy walking about 1,200 miles, assholes - Mexico currently has a huge gasoline and diesel shortage, owing to their President’s shutdown of all oil pipelines because of massive thefts of oil that could only occur with the cooperation of those at the top of Pemex. If Mexicans can’t get gas in Mexico, Guatemalans aren’t going to get it.

In FY 2018, an average of more than 33,000 were apprehended on the southern border EVERY month. A small cities worth of population, month after month after month after month.

Nearly 400,000 were caught FY 2018 alone.

**** Keep in mind, these numbers represent those who were caught. How many were not caught? ****

Southwest Apprehensions By Fiscal Year

  Total Apprehensions
Sector FY 2018 FY 2017
Big Bend TX 8,045 6,002

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/usbp-sw-border-apprehensions
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/usbp-sw-border-apprehensions-fy2017

Texas apprehensions FY 2018 - 250,342
Texas apprehensions FY 2017 - 207,693

Arizona apprehensions FY 2018 - 78,416
Arizona apprehensions FY 2017 - 51,504

California apprehensions FY 2018 - 67,821
California apprehensions FY 2017 - 44,719

How many actually showed up for any kind of immigration hearing? Less than 10%? How many are actually deported? Less than 5%?

That also doesn't take into account those who are NOT apprehended.

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration

We were told for years that there were 11 million foreign nationals in our country unlawfully. It was a lie.

Yale, MIT study: 22 million, not 11 million, undocumented immigrants in US [1]

And 22,000,000 undoubtedly, is under estimated as well.

That's more people than the ENTIRE state of Florida, and darn near as many as the whole state of Texas! An entire large state's worth of foreign nationals who have disrespected our sovereignty and rule of law and are living here illegally, many (most, who really knows?) receiving taxpayer paid for housing, food, medical, dental, legal, schooling and other "welfare."

According to a recent Gallup "World" poll, 158 MILLION people would "immigrate" to the United States if they could.

For the "average" Mexican perhaps...but the George Soro's types will make sure the caravan of invaders have all the food, fuel and transportation they need.
