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.

Trump should put the US on Martial Law; call out the military and begin rounding up all the painters, yard care and other shadow economy illegals. The USG itself is complicit in allowing this - it is not the merely the DNC. Illegals from Brazil are the second largest population, toss in a few million Islamic Refugees, and the DNC State/City Gov's and mayors who have their illegal alien zones and the country is finished - there will be no republican representation in Zones. They must be taken back.

Mr. Trump, stop all trade with Mexico until they stop the illegal aliens from entering the USA.

You are right. Just yesterday someone here posted it would be unfair to fire upon unarmed people. Just because they aren’t carrying AR-15s doesn’t mean they’re unarmed. They are armed in that they’re an invading force determined to steal from us through gov perks and illegal means and commit other horrendous crimes upon US citizens.

This is Obama’s army, mmm, mmm. This is Soro’s army. This is the demonrat’s army all sent to destroy America.

From the article: Morales said a Honduran migrant died in the town of Villa Nueva, 20 miles (30 kilometers) from Guatemala City, when he fell from a truck.

They are being transported.

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.">

All that and deport every illegal and fine/jail anyone who aids and abets them.

So one could say George Soros is colluding with another country to influence the elections in the United States. And, he is doing it openly

I just heard on the radio that “Beto” sez we should “have more compassion” for the have-nots and let these illiterate, unskilled, disease-ridden criminals invaders. Well, “Beto”, tell ya what: why don’t YOU go down to Honduras and make it a better country so that these filthy hordes won’t need to come up here to try and invade our country? That would be a far better use of your time, since you obviously don’t care a whit about AMERICAN interests, only those of non-citizens.

There is water. The Rio Grande. That’s why they were once called “wet backs”. But it’s not PC to say that now.

"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."

Well, the problem with that analysis is that if we cannot stop the invasion, we are lost anyway. The Left has enough money to buy multiple caravans and a huge invasion force. Suppose it is 50,000 or multiples of that, all paid for to collapse the US and with women and children up front and enemy media right there to document everything to use against the US. It is fight or die time.

This morning, FOX was showing dozens being rowed over on rafts at Ciudad Juarez on the Texas border.

“K 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.”

Nope. The first step should be to immediately shut down wire transfers to Mexico and watch them bowl. If that doesn’t work within a day or two, stop issuing visas to Mexicans. If that doesn’t work in a day or two forbid Americans to enter Mexico. Continuously up the pressure until they take care of it or use the Marines to lock down the border with orders to shoot to kill.

They aren't "migrants", they are a gang of lawless, trespassing ILLEGAL ALIENS!

President Trump needs to CLOSE THE BORDER WITH MEXICO NOW AND PUT ARMED U.S. TROOPS ON THE BORDER, PERIOD!

Don't just threaten them with cutting off ALL U.S.AID, CLOSING THE BORDER AND PLACING THE MILITARY THERE, JUST DO IT Because this entire situation is TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL!

President Trump had better be on the phone with the president of Mexico, and let him know in no uncertain terms that if the Mexican government doesn't IMMEDIATELY STOP AND TURN BACK THIS HORDE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS AT THE MEXICAN BORDER, AND IF A N Y OF THEM ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER MEXICO ON THE WAY TO OUR BORDER, AND IF THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ASSISTS IN AIDING OR IN FACILITATING THIS MOB'S MOVE THROUGH MEXICO, THEY WILL ALSO BE IMMEDIATELY PUNISHED WITH HUGE SANCTIONS, INCLUDING THE NEW TRADE DEAL, PERMANENTLY CLOSING THE BORDER AND PLACING THE U.S. MILITARY ON THE BORDER; AND SAID PUNISHMENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE ENFORCED UNLESS AND UNTIL ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO COMPRISE THIS ILLEGAL ALIEN HORDE ARE ROUNDED UP, ARRESTED AND D E P O R T E D FROM MEXICO BACK TO HONDURAS, AND WHATEVER 3RD WORLD HELL-HOLE SOUTH AMERICAN AND OTHER COUNTRIES THEY COME FROM.

And yes, I am YELLING, because the whole situation is OUTRAGEOUS. Their intent is to DESTROY America as a sovereign nation.

These 5,000 after they add a bunch more Mexicans will be hopping the train

Give fair warning to Mexican authorities that the caravan must be stopped or we will disable the rail road.
