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.

Yes that invasion earlier in the year was not stopped. It was processed in small batches. Almost everyone from that previous invasion is still here, dispersed around the country and uncrackable.

The handling of the springtime invasion was so disgusting that you would have thought Jorge "Compassionate Conservative" Bush was still running the show. President Trump has been good on keeping his promises, mostly an "A+" score in that regard. But his grade on the border is "D-". The quickest move he could make to boost his GPA would be to get rid of Kirstjen Nielsen. Buh bye! Replace her with John Bolton.

Kelly should go too. He is a complete dupe and Obama stooge. Kelly has a history of cozy ties to South America. And Kelly only rose in rank through the efforts of his friend Leon Panetta along with Obama. Kelly is close friends with both of them. He is their "boy".

I can be in Brownsville in 2 hours. I’m ready to put a stop to this invasion. When our government fails completely in it’s Constitutional duty,we are left no other choice.

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.

Good luck on those optics in an election. Understand your sentiment, but if you have to use the military, esp. this close to an election, might as well impeach trump because that would be the end result when the dems take both house and senate. The optics of using the military against an unarmed group of illegal immigrants would be too much for most to see nightly because that's how the media would portray it.

Apparently our military is only for protecting other countries.

They’re not seeking asylum. Their seeking the wealth and free living they heard about in the US. Asylum in Mexico happens and has been in existence formally since 2016.

http://theconversation.com/mexico-seeks-to-become-country-of-refuge-as-us-cracks-down-on-migrants-97668

So why do they walk across a country that has asylum from their home country unless they are not seeking asylum but truthfully trying to get an easier life? That’s not asylum, that’s federal trespass. That’s like needing a car so they walk past the one they can afford to get the expensive one given to them being untruthful. Aren’t they just stealing it because they can’t afford it and are lying to get it?

“Close air travel to all countries involved”

I agree with your.pound except closing all air travel. I suggest that only American citizes\legal residents can fly back in to America and only non-violent can fly out.

It's simply an invasion. If we put up with this, we are no longer a sovereign nation. What would the left do if 5000 people showed up in their neighborhood in the Hamptons and decided to just ‘stay’, because they wanted a better life?

“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.”

Go to an American national team soccer game against Mexico or a Central or South American team, and you often see as many or sometimes more supporters of the other team than of the US - IN THE US. They’ve started moving some games to venues away from areas where there are concentrations of fans from Mexico etc. so that the US team can actually enjoy home advantage from the fans.

Sports and who you support are a fairly good indicator of where your loyalties are.

And issue them 1 free t-shirt, long sleeve of course, that they can wear while they are being culturally enriched with the scenic beauty of the USA's 49th state. The t-shirt should say, "I love America, so beautiful!".

"Stop posting the same comments in every thread."

It might not be a good idea to tell someone to not post his/her comment on every thread cuz there are lots of us, lik me, who see the comment for the first time. Thanks.

I recommend Trump let them in and give a news conference in sight of them and say here is your vote for the democrats - invasion, illegality, drugs, crime, stealing your jobs and especially the African American and Hispanic citizens’jobs.

Yes. These are invaders.

They should be told up front that not only will they NOT be permitted in the United States that they will not be sheltered while waiting for their case to be heard. Mexico, which has let them in, can have them. They can open refugee camps inside of Mexico.

These people should ask for permission to enter now, weeks before they even get to the border. It should be up to us to say yes or no and that should be the final word. Their needs or circumstances do not give them any right to impose themselves on us. Otherwise they should be repulsed at the border with force of arms if necessary.

Deport and seize the assets of all illegal aliens already here too.
