Caravan of immigrants from Honduras headed for our border.

We have over 300 million Americans in this country that has to remove their shoes, and have their bags inspected to fly from OKC to Tulsa.
Yet, we are going to allow unfettered border crossings from the 6 billion people on this planet that is not a citizen and does not have identification, nor is a citizen.
How does this happen?


IXTEPEC, Mexico/EDINBURG, Texas (Reuters) - In some of the Mexican towns playing host to a “caravan” of more than 1,200 Central American migrants heading to the U.S. border, the welcome mat has been rolled out despite President Donald Trump’s call for Mexican authorities to stop them.

Local officials have offered lodging in town squares and empty warehouses or arranged transport for the migrants, participants in a journey organized by the immigrant advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras. The officials have conscripted buses, cars, ambulances and police trucks. But the help may not be entirely altruistic.

“The authorities want us to leave their cities,” said Rodrigo Abeja, an organizer from Pueblo Sin Fronteras. “They’ve been helping us, in part to speed the massive group out of their jurisdictions.”

At some point this spring, the caravan’s 2,000-mile (3,200-km) journey that began at Tapachula near the Guatemalan border on March 25 will end at the U.S. border, where some of its members will apply for asylum, while others will attempt to sneak into the United States.

Wonder if sanctions against Mexico for allowing this to go on would be effective?

Would be a good time to invade Mexico, move our border a few hundred miles South. Kill off all the inhabitants, sell off the new land and all proceeds go to building a new wall. They'd never see it coming, we'd catch them by surprise.

You should elect me President, I've got plans....

This is crazy. A list of demands, really!?!

Caravan Releases List of DEMANDS And Expects Trump To Comply
‘Open the borders to us because we are as much citizens as the people of countries where we are and/or travel’
Jamie White | Infowars.com - April 3, 2018

A caravan of 1,500 people funneling through Mexico towards the U.S. border have released a list of demands that President Trump is expected to comply with, including unfettered access to the United States.

Pueblo sin Fronteras, the political outreach group who organized the caravan, released a press statement for the United States, Mexico, and their respective Central American governments.

“We demand of the Mexico and the United States: that they respect our rights as refugees and our right to dignified work to be able to support our families,” the statements reads.

The second demand is “that they open the borders to us because we are as much citizens as the people of the countries where we are and/or travel.”

Frankly, immigration wouldn’t be a hotbed political issue in America and the world if that second statement was true.

A look at the Pueblo sin Fronteras group website shows that they have extensive experience leading caravans of migrants across different countries illegally.

“Our mission is to provide shelter and safety to migrants and refugees in transit, accompany them in their journey, and together demand respect for our human rights,” says the group’s Facebook page.

“Our dream is to build solidarity bridges among peoples and turndown border walls imposed by greed.”

In the face of this clear PR stunt orchestrated by leftist advocates, Trump has already shut down any notion of letting the caravan into the U.S., accusing Mexico of facilitating the groups trying to take advantage of the DACA situation.

“These big flows of people are all trying to take advantage of DACA. They want in on the act!” tweeted the president on Sunday.

“Mexico has the absolute power not to let these large ‘Caravans’ of people enter the country. They must stop them at their Northern Border, which they can do because their border laws work, not allow them to pass through into our country, which has no effective border laws.”

“Congress must immediately pass Border Legislation, use Nuclear Option if necessary, to stop the massive inflow of Drugs and People. Border Patrol Agents (and ICE) are GREAT, but the weak Dem laws don’t allow them to do their job. Act now Congress, our country is being stolen!” he added on Monday.

Trump also made clear that any DACA deal is effectively dead because the Democrats failed to act.

“DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon… No longer works,” he tweeted. “Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!”

How about this from Trump today.

Trump: We Will Guard Our Border With Our Military

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. military will be used to guard the U.S.-Mexico border.

“We are going to be guarding our border with our military. That’s a big step,” Trump told Reporters gathered at the White House. “We cannot have people flowing into our country illegally, disappearing, and by the way never showing up for court.”

The President’s comments appear to take aim at current U.S. policy which requires border agents to catch then release family units who arrive at the borer from noncontiguous countries.

He also said he had spoken with Secretary of Defense James Mattis about the use of the military to guard the border.

In recent days, Trump has repeatedly tweeted about a caravan of illegal immigrants making their way from Honduras to the US border via Mexico. The President had threatened to end the NAFTA agreement if the Mexican government did not stop the caravan.

Mexican authorities responded to Trump’s Sunday threat to kill NAFTA by pledging to disband the caravan and allow some transmitters to apply for asylum in Mexico. The organizers, however, said many members of the group will continue marching north towards the US-Mexico border where, if they claim asylum and are with a family unit, they legally must be released into the interior of the country.
