Mexico has requested the UNHCR to come in and set up camps and have them determine whose a refugee or not.

Plus Mexico now agrees that anyone passing through their country who get's caught on the American border can be sent back to Mexico, not thier home country.

WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now that internal polling shows that this stunt may backfire on the Socialists (DNC)... they stopped the money support, and the Mexican authorities are starting to intervene.

Mexico or Bust!

https://nypost.com/2018/10/19/migran...rce=reddit.com

Looks like the invasion force was repelled, and by the Mexicans, strangely enough. I guess that offer to actually treat them as UN refugees on the southern Mexico border didn't appeal to them.

Maybe they aren't quite as in fear for their lives as they purport to be.

Maybe it's not too late to fluff up the pillows and get that pot of menudo started:

Now they're reporting that about 8,000 have torn down the gate between Guatemala and Mexico and have crossed into Mexico.

That was a great movie, and an even better gateway double vinyl album. Both of which I have.

Here's my prediction. Neither Mexico nor any other non US country will be willing or able to contain them.

They will make it to the US border and try to storm our border.

Trump will be given the choice of the use of overwhelming military force to contain them, which no matter what form that entails, will result in the worst possible optics right at the midterm elections... that, or letting them in.

Either way, Trump loses, Dems win.

Start at about 19:00


Trump: "that's not happening on my watch....but as of this moment, I thank Mexico. If that doesn't work out, we're calling in the military....not the guard, the military, and we're going to have the military stationed. They're NOT coming into this country."

We need to start with non-lethal crowd control, LRAD sound cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets, but if they continue, we need to use live rounds. It's 8,000 people this time, trying to force their way in. What happens when it's 80,000? 800,000?

If it has to come down to a showdown, then screw it. We need to stack bodies. We cannot get overrun.

"If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."

Ronald Reagan

Default Horde Swells to 5,000 as River Proves to be No Obstacle

https://www.yahoo.com/news/migrant-c...040050654.html

Quote:
CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — A growing throng of Central American migrants resumed their advance toward the U.S. border in southern Mexico on Sunday, overwhelming Mexican government attempts to stop them at the border.

Their numbers swelled to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile (1.5 kilometers).

Several hundred more already had applied for refugee status in Mexico and an estimated 1,500 were still on the Guatemalan side of the Suchiate River, hoping to enter legally.

It was not immediately clear where the additional travelers had materialized from since about 2,000 had been gathered on the Mexican side Saturday night. They seemed likely to be people who had been waiting in the Guatemalan town of Tecun Uman and who decided to cross during the night.

They marched on through Mexico like a ragtag army of the poor, shouting triumphantly slogans like "Si se pudo!" or "Yes, we could!"

As they passed through Mexican villages on the outskirts of Ciudad Hidalgo, they drew applause, cheers and donations of food and clothing from Mexicans.

Maria Teresa Orellana, a resident of the neighborhood of Lorenzo handed out free sandals to the migrants as they passed. "It's solidarity," she said. "They're our brothers."

And if anyone still is naive enough to think that this isn't an orchestrated ploy by the left, this picture of one of the "migrants" from yesterday's Wall Street Journal should help.

Mexico lacks both the ability and the desire to stop this crowd.

They will reach the US border. They will storm the US border.

Donald J. Trump will be forced to either use military force, which would be covered by the media in a sensational and highly effective manner regardless of whether it is lethal or not... or he will have to allow them in.

Win for the Democrats either way.

This is an invasion, pure and simple, and must be handled as one.

Not so sure about that. Start reading comments on some of these news stories. These are Left Wing 'News' outlets with stories (as far as I can tell) not linked to places like Drudge etc. I think this is backfiring on the left, and people are waking up.
