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.

So look at the reality of this. Tapachula Mexico is 1,140 miles from the nearest point of the US - Brownsville TX. So how long will it take all 5,000 to walk in this formation that distance ???? Or will Mexico provide transportation ?

they seem to be well organized and financed. Identify, arrest and remove the leadership to control the mob.

I just watched Fox News Sunday and Chris Wallace would reference Trump’s pledge to send in the military to stop the caravan as if it were some kind of scourge to be loosed on the earth.

This isn’t a cutesy “caravan”. This is an invasion by thieving, criminal foreigners. We’ve got a military. We’ve got A-10s. We’ve got AH-64 Apaches. We’ve got Hellfire missiles. Let’s use them. America is a sovereign nation and we have laws. Let’s grow up and start acting that way!

“Migrant caravan swells to 5,000 resumes advance toward US”

Use the U.S. military to stop them at our border.

If U.S. judges vote to pass a law requiring entry, bus the illegals to San Francisco and dump them into the business district.

Dump them and leave them.

Since California may be leaving the union anyway, national policy should be to set up “magnet” cities in California to attract every undesirable person in the country to that state.

Nothing exceeds like excess.

Let the families in.
House them, awaiting adjudication, in beautiful Alaska.
Adak has a wonderful airport.
If they don't see the judge in 21 days, set them free, in beautiful Alaska.
If they are unhappy in beautiful Alaska, I hear Minot, ND is lovely this time of year.
Maybe the caravan organizers can pay for flights to Minot, or all the way back to their countries of origin.

Presidential Order.....Immediately deport

I agree. Rather than let them loose in America; give them a court date to show up which only 3% do and put them back on to the Mexico side. Let them fend for themselves in Mexico for the next few years and deal with Mexico's immigration laws or go home to their own country until their court date which I hope less than 1% show up for.

I saw a news clip where one of the well dressed and fed “refugees” were carrying a brand new four man? rubber raft.

Soros must have poured more fuel on the fire. He is aiming at our elections.

They’re coming to neutralize your vote; i.e., to make it as though you did not vote, to deny you the right to vote, to enslave you, forever. Afterwards they’ll get on with the rapes and murders and robberies and burglaries. Because they want stuff and you’ve got stuff, and that’s the deal they’ve made with Soros.

...how many of these people are flying the flag of the country they are fleeing and claim they need asylum from.

Excellent point. It's just like the throngs of illegal Mexicans who come here, then scream what a crappy country the US is all the while waving their Mexican flags. Absolutely hypocritical and sickening.

If we don't bring back assimilation and the "melting pot," we are doomed. It wasn't long ago that new immigrant wanted nothing more than to leave the old country behind and become Americans. Leftists destroyed that.

California beat you to it ... with "sanctuary cities".

We start by closing the border
Stop all money transfers to the countries involved
Close air travel to all countries involved
Immeaditly deport any and all people from the countries involved being held in detention awaiting a hearing.
Eliminate those countries for visa applications for 10 years.
Eliminate American aid to any country they pass through.
Place the military on the border with clear ROE.
Investigate and prosecute any American that conspired with this invasion.

How long would it take to put up concertina wire along 1000 miles US border? Certainly cheaper and faster than a concrete wall!
The Hungarians put up a double border fence along their entire southern border in about a month.
