President Trump has no choice. He must withdraw all funding from the United States to Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. They have facilitated the Honduras caravan and are allowing massive amounts of economic refugees from crashing our borders. If we don’t stop this now, we never will. Besides being the right thing to do, it’s also the smart political thing to do.
Those whom would welcome vast amounts of illegal aliens, will never vote Democratic, but if we allow them in, the Republican voters will feel like the conservatives let them down again, and could very well stay home on November 6th.
The illegal migrant caravan is sweeping through Chiapas in southern Mexico on Sunday, their numbers having jumped to over 7,000 overnight from just a few thousand as it became apparent the caravan would not be stopped by Mexico. After blocking the migrants on a bridge Friday, Mexican officials allowed the migrants to swim and raft across the Suchiate River from Guatemala into Mexico Saturday and then regroup in a riverside park. Mexico also allowed over 600 women and children to legally enter for processing on Saturday
Reports from the caravan state that on two occasions Mexican federal police stood in formation to meet the caravan as the migrants staged a massive march up a highway. As the migrants approached both times the Mexican police stood down and let them pass. A Mexican official was reported to have said they can’t stop 7,200 people.
Kate Linthicum with the Los Angeles Times reported on the two failed attempts to stop the caravan Sunday: “I’m only just realizing the massive scale of this caravan as they march north into Mexico. It’s several thousand people. Just look…A group of immigration agents stopped the caravan to ask them to apply for asylum in Mexico. The caravan blew past them…The caravan just swept past a large contingent of Mexican federal police, who didn’t do anything to stop them…”

Federal Migration Commissioner: ppl will be taken to a shelter and won’t be able to leave the state of Chiapas till their visas are processed (but impossible to stop 7,200+ ppl).

Federal police commission just said their presence here is to give “safe and orderly passage to shelters in Tapachula”. So why the 200 officers in Riot gear? No answer. The #caravanamigrantes continues
