Second migrant caravan storms into Mexico:

[dennishoddy]

Lets start having a caravan of "immigrants" to Mexico's smaller border towns on an annual basis, only stay and colonize like before. You know Texas 2.0...

You might be surprised at how many "gringo's" that are US citizen retirees have migrated to Mexico.

“We only want a clear passage, our intention is not to stay in Mexico but to go to the United States,” the migrants responded.

To avoid a confrontation, the police withdrew and the caravan continued towards the city of Tapachula. The migrants will continue their march through the southern state today.

Three of the caravans currently in Mexico are made up of migrants numbering in the thousands. The majority of them entered Mexico without going through official immigration channels.

Another group of about 450 Salvadorans who entered Mexico legally are also in the country.

Now that the progressives control the House, the marchers will head to the border with much more bounce in their step. The Free, Free, mentality with no borders just became true for anyone in the world that wants to walk across our borders. The house will take away funding for the border patrol so they can't do their jobs. Mark my words.

The several states can guard their borders if the Union won't do it. What are the Democrats gonna do about that? Are they gonna declare war on the states that guard their sovereign state borders? This could get interesting.

I think I saw that Robert Francis O'Rourke spent like 70million only to gain 200,000 votes over the last Dem challenger?

Do we need a wall? Is the border as porous as President Trump says it is?

That's a possibility that'll have to be taken into account. Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon will need to fortify their borders with California too, I guess ...

Might need to extend that wall. I'm not sure that Nevada is that much more conservative than California. They keep voting in liberals.

The Trump administration announced Thursday that migrants who attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally will not be eligible to claim asylum under a new rule meant to crack down on "meritless" claims.


The rule, which prevents migrants from claiming asylum if they do not do so at an official border crossing, is the latest attempt by the White House to handle a surge in migration to the U.S. from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. President Trump is expected to formally enact the rule in a presidential proclamation Friday.

"Consistent with our immigration laws, the President has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so," Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a joint statement. " ... Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it. Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility.”

The rule, which is likely to be challenged in court by pro-immigration groups, was spurred in part by caravans of Central American migrants walking toward the border. They are now about 600 miles away. Trump has vowed to stop them from entering the country and made the issue a key part of his closing argument ahead of this week's midterm elections.

A senior administration official said the White House hopes that by funneling asylum claimants to ports of entry, officials will be able to assess and adjudicate the claims more rapidly. The official did not say where asylum-seekers would be housed should they arrive at those ports of entry in large numbers. The official added that the rule was not retroactive and only covers future asylum claimants.


According to DHS, the department has seen a 2,000 percent increase since 2013 in migrants claiming that they have "credible fear" of persecution should they return to their home country. A senior administration official said Thursday that the vast majority of such claims are "non-meritorious."
