TAPACHULA, Mexico/GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A group of more than a thousand Central Americans in Guatemala headed toward the Mexican border on Tuesday as the first caravan of migrants paused in southern Mexico on its planned journey toward the U.S. border.
U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to begin cutting millions of dollars in aid to Central America and called the caravan in Mexico a national emergency as he seeks to boost his Republican Party’s chances in the Nov. 6 congressional elections.
The caravan, which has been estimated at 7,000 to 10,000 mostly Honduran migrants fleeing violence and poverty in their homelands, is currently in the town of Huixtla in Chiapas state around 31 miles (50 km) north of the Guatemalan border.
Mexico’s government said in a statement on Tuesday that it had received 1,699 requests for refugee status, including children. The government estimates there are around 4,500 people in the group.

Another spontaneous military column headed for our border!
What a coincidence!
What about the hurricane and the first caravan?
At least a half dozen caravans going now.
People from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas?.................
80%, and suspend all traffic from Mexico except for US citizens.
Wasn’t part of redoing NAFTA was to fix this stuff? What happened? Was that part left out of the fix?
And don’t ever forget that Obama, IN A TV AD BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION SAID: ‘if you live here, that means you can vote’. If the Dems win ANYTHING this election, it is only because of VOTER FRAUD.
And does anybody think that granting Amnesty would stop stuff like this from happening?
Invading another country is an act of war. Very soon this will become a job for a carrier task force and marine expeditionary unit.
Napalm is a very good deterent. Set up a line, issue a warning, and then “draw a line”.
Even a Mexican understands fire
Time to tell, not advise, not ask, Mexico that the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is about to be reopened for adjustment, and the Mexico may not like the new border arrangement.
Or, they can stop these invaders, now, and pay for the wall that is needed. Give Mexico 48 hours. Really, to give our military time to mobilize on the border with the purpose of create a buffer zone inside Mexico and establish a DMZ.
We are experiencing a Trojan Horse event, without the freakin horse!
“and called the caravan in Mexico a national emergency as he seeks to boost his Republican Party’s chances in the Nov. 6 congressional elections.”
Yep, that’s the only reason Trump will stop this, you know, to boost the Pubs in Nov. After all, Trump never made an issue out of illegal immigration before.
(BTW, I find it fascinating that the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ is willing to admit that stopping illegal immigration is a winning issue for the party that willing to do it.)
Trump needs to have a little discussion with Mexico. If they don’t stop these invaders, something very bad should happen with our relations.
Heck, they snub their noses at us anyway so not much would be lost.
Stay home and fix your own S**thole countries.
It’s not the land - it’s the people.
As examples:
Look what the Israelis did with their little piece of the desert while the Arabs on the exact same land live just a notch above their animals and can’t even feed their own kids.
On the other hand, look what the Venezuelans have done to a once wealthy and prosperous country.
Rhodesia, once the bread basket of Africa, prosperous and productive.
But the blacks ran the white farmers off and now it’s just another black run Sh**thole.
South Africa is now on the same trajectory.
Hell with that. Shut off ALL remittances entirely until these countries stop the caravan.
Maybe Mother Nature will take of that for us.
It is an invasion. There are pics of these people drawing a swastika on an American flag and burning it. If they truly were “a migrant band” they would be carrying American flags and asking, not demanding, entrance to the US. This is an all out act of war by Mexico and Central America. The Mexicans have been aiding their transport. I pray that Trump is going to stand by his words regarding this. I believe he will. He also needs to cut off ALL aid to these countries and make it illegal for any goods coming from them to enter the US. Cut off their money supply.
