CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Despite Mexican efforts to stop them at the border, a growing throng of Central American migrants resumed their advance toward the U.S. border early Sunday in southern Mexico.

Their numbers swelled to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile (1.5 kilometers).

It was not immediately clear where the additional travelers had materialized from since about 2,000 gathered on the Mexican side Saturday night. They seemed likely to be people who had been waiting on the bridge over the Suchiate River or in the Guatemalan town of Tecun Uman and who decided to cross during the night.

Do a Bing search for images of Honduran caravan and notice how many of these people are flying the flag of the country they are fleeing and claim they need asylum from.

Trump should call it an invasion. Issue an executive order to return everyone of them to country of origin.

Tell the leaders of those nations they will be returned or we will consider it an act of war. Tell them we will remove their leaders. Game over.

We can always count on Flimsey Grahamnesty to make things worse.

Sen. Graham told Fox News in an interview, “DACA, remember that? 690,000 kids brought here on the average age of 6, no place else to go. Trump’s going to win in court; he can repeal DACA. The day he wins in court, what do we do with these young people? So I’d like to do a deal: Full wall funding for DACA.”

But here’s the catch: Graham explicitly rules out including any further reforms in the DACA-for-wall deal. Fox host Brian Kilmeade asked him if there would be additional reforms like ending chain migration. Sen. Graham answered, “Nope, keep it simple.” Translation: Congress should punt on needed immigration reforms and just go ahead and give an amnesty. But without ending chain migration, mandating E-Verify, and ending the Visa Lottery, the DACA amnesty could result in virtually limitless new immigrants.

FYI on the Soros Caravan, et al. - this needs to be made known to everyone.

So, whatever became of the previous “migrant caravan”? I’m getting severe déjà vu from this story, and its mass media attention, and at this point I feel like it’s more a P.R. thing than a serious effort.

It’s an invasion. An assault on other nations sovereignty.

This is an AP story so the first thing to question is the number of marchers. With fake news, nothing can be presumed accurate.

they will be returned?

makes it sound all nice. we don’t owe them a return flight/train nothing. we need to not let them in in the first place. hoping Trump and his advisers have a solid plan keep them out. I hope he has the fortitude to close and arm the border if need be.

I’m fed up with us having to deal with the dems and other sjwarrior enemies we have within usa that perpetuate this “helping others” baloney and it ends up the govt/taxpayers, us citizens lives, are the ones paying for it. True help starts in other countries not importing them here.

The march to the border is a Hurricane like storm. They should enter this country following the proper laws.

Hmmm. Their country sux but this one sux less? Is that the current thought process. I mean we are pretty evil not wanting to share our abundance. Or hand it over because someone DEMANDS it? Fix up your own place and stay there. Didn’t meth-eek-O send some “crack” troops down to stop the flow of “refugees”?

Who is feeding these people? Where are they urinating and defecating as they march? Who is providing toilet paper. If none, what about disease potential? Who is providing diapers or showing concern for the babies? Are there babies? Are the drug cartels involved? Who is providing security for them from robbers/rapists/crminals along the way?

This is all so wrong.

Last spring’s ‘migrant caravan’ was halted at the border and processed into the US in small batches to cover lack of border enforcement.

No reason invaders should stop trying. There’s no downside yet.

This is an invasion force, organized and funded by Soros and the rest of the Anti-American left. If we cannot stop them, they have oceans of money to collapse the border and US society. If 5,000 why not 50,000 for example. A few billion dollars spread around Central and South America could buy an army of millions to storm the US Southern border. This is a lethal threat to America and must be stopped by any means necessary. We have money, too. Hire the corrupt Mexican police and the cartels to stop them. If that doesn’t work, they use direct force.
