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.

Are Soro’s lawyers so effective that they can shield him from any legal action stemming from his continual funding of insurgent activity? Surely he can’t be paying of the Justice Dept (Sessions)? Isn’t he basically bankrolling a coup, taking all his subversive activities as a whole?

how about mexico “requesting” the us (military) take over a 1000 foot strip of the mexican side of the border, like the british zone at calais? the mexicans have repeatedly demonstrated that they cannot control their side of the border. the invaders have shown that they will not stop. the usa judicial system provides unjustifiably unbalanced relief if the invaders’ feet touch usa soil. so the usa could “help” mexico control their border 1000 feet before usa soil. or 2000 feet before usa soil. whatever works.

LOL! The joke is on the Dems and the media. They just crossed the Mexican boarder.......any idea how long it takes to WALK across Mexico??

Weeks before they get even close to the US border. This plays into the GOP candidates hands.

Start the TV ad campaign! 75 percent of voters oppose illegal immigration.

This is an invading army with a few skirts for cover. They must be treated as such.

I always thought they should use those, they go up fast and with razor wire on top, they are a pretty good barrier.

Thanks for the reminder.
If the Rio Grande is a coast then the Coast Guard should guard it against invasion from foreign nationals.

Like cyberwar , interference with satellites in space and identify theft aren’t like lines of uniformed soldiers facing each other in WWII, our borders being breached by invaders is merely an update on warfare, too. Stalin and others used women and children held in front of armed troops as a tactic like today’s children cynically used as photo op props.

Forgot.

I usually try to suppress images in my memory involving ugly ex presidents with “D” next to their ballot names.

Actually we need to find the activists who are organizing this and put them in jail and fine them for the millions they have cost US taxpayers.

Congress should be held responsible.
They are still protecting that useless maggot Sessions and Trump’s hands are tied.
DOJ should be filing a RICO charge against this guy.
