TAPACHULA, Mexico — The caravan of migrants from Central America grew to roughly 5,000 Sunday, a massive group that stretched along this city’s main highway for more than a half-mile.
They spoke in different accents, fleeing different disasters: joblessness in parts of Honduras, a mounting political crisis in Nicaragua, cities in Guatemala where they were sure their children would languish as they had.
And then there were the deportees. Many of the migrants here had previously lived in the United States, for years or even decades, joining the caravan to reunite with their children, or to resume old jobs. They were undeterred by the American authorities who had apprehended them or the U.S. president who promised to keep them out again.
Some of them had returned voluntarily to their home countries long ago, but eventually determined that there was nothing there for them. Now, they were traversing Mexico while President Trump tweeted about their journey, demanding that the migrants apply for asylum in Mexico before continuing north, threatening to close the U.S. border as Mexican authorities appeared to allow the caravan to proceed.

If someone is deported, the border patrol won’t let him back in. He must be talking about sneaking in.
Was listening to Patriot radio 1150 in So Cal yesterday. they link with Fox News at the half hour breaks. During one of these Fox breaks they had a short interview with one of the clowns in this Carvan. No kidding he said this “I’m not a criminal, the longest I was ever in Jail in the USA was 72 hours”
Yeah to the left, it’s always women and children making this journey. What woman would put themselves and their children in this type of dangerous situation to begin with? The women will be raped, the kids trafficked. A loving parent does not do that to their kids. Ever. Nope. We know exactly what this is.....invasion.
The fate of that caravan is up to the American people on election day.
“or to resume old jobs”
ahhhh I don’t think so, Jose
Really, if this isn’t a reason to strafe hell out of this column of invaders, I don’t know what is.
Invading Muslim terrorists on Jihad, too.
Riding in trucks - not just walking.
Paid by Soros and ...
Fixed.
Its time for you to get a J-O-B! Support yourself and stop looking for a handout from Uncle Sam.
Yesterday I was talking to an Italian friend. She was lamenting the horrible situation with the “refugees” in Italy, they are bursting at the economic seams, they have more crime, France dumps the unwanted into Italy through the border etc etc. I was telling her about the thousands marching toward us and her comment was “America is huge, at least you can absorb them, we cannot”...No thought about the implications of this invasion, added to the millions already here, for her it was a matter of us being able to accommodate them.
I think I’ll start a GoFundMe for the “migrants”. If you cross the border you get a one way bus ticket to Portland, Oregon and a bag lunch.
Not on my watch!! Try SF
We need to build the Effing wall ASAP
Democrats saw the elections not going in their favor, so this is their alternate blue wave. If this one is not stopped, more waves will follow.
No, EVERY “immigrant” invader should be turned away from Texas and headed to CA. They will be happy to have more of these lawbreakers in that sanctuary state. Then we should build a wall along the CA border with NV and AZ.
Illegal re-entry is a felony.
Make them do some time in federal prison before returning them to their own country.
We needed the wall after the last amnesty, but GHW Bush had other ideas.
FOUR Presidents in a row refused to secure the border and enforce the laws, two from each party.
We have 30 million illegal aliens because of a bipartisan 30 year policy of non-enforcement.
BOTH parties are responsible for this.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
Ooops, Sorry. I just thought they would settle in nicely with the Antifa folks.
