Thousands of Central American migrants in a caravan that has already advanced 250 miles into Mexico hope they won't have to walk anymore, at least for a while.
Red Cross personnel on Wednesday bandaged the swollen feet of Honduran farmer Omar Lopez in the southern city of Juchitan, where the caravan was paused for the day
"We are waiting to see if they are going to help us out with buses, to continue the trip," said Lopez, 27.

But... The UN says we have to let them in...
United Nations: Trump Must Allow Caravan Migrants Into America
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

The members of the UN who want this should take these invaders into their own shithole countries. You want to help them so badly, stop talking and take them in.

Yup, the invaders have no intention of working, they just want the free shit they're entitled to.

From a report I saw today on the local news it appears that 7,000 number is dropping steadily. At this rate I'd be surprised to see 1,000 actually make it to the border.

Is there somewhere you gotta be real quick?
We should send them 100 buses like this-

I saw on the news today that Mexico is stopping all "rides" for the caravan. If they want to get to the US border, they can walk the next 1000 MILES!! I think that this is a real good start.

As the Central American migrant invasion force continues to make its way towards our southern border, albeit at a much slower pace, President Trump has ordered US Army troops to interdict it and has stated unequivocally that no one will be allowed to set foot on US soil illegally. If you want to be cynical you can say that this is a purely political move to fire up the base before the Midterms. Well, then, what the hell is the sudden marshaling and moving of thousands of foreigners northward? Of course the President is aware of the political consequences of inaction/surrender. But I think he is doing this because he knows that it is his duty and responsibility to protect our borders as commander-in-chief and that plain common sense dictates that to not do anything would be nuts.

If he needs a precedent for the sanctimonious idiots at the UN, he can always point to what the Mexican government has been doing at the Guatemalan border - for decades. I hate to admit it about a commie, but AMLO's offer to the caravan was definitely going above and beyond.
