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.

My point is they’re only doing it because it’s so close to the election. The last one was right before the 2016 primaries. Again, election time.

Americans no longer give a shit about optics, we want results.

Well, you want results. Don't confuse all Americans with what you want. Killing 5000 unarmed people is not the way to win. Your thirst for blood and gore in your pursuit of results is noted.

They’re about to be hit by a cat 4 hurricane.
