"Caravan" Border Watch

“I didn’t really have much of a plan when I left Honduras: everyone said that we would be able to cross the border – I thought it would be easier,” said 29-year-old Yocelyn Alvarado as she picked up her 3-year-old son Fernando to stop him wondering into vast puddle of stinking floodwater and sodden trash.

Why would they think they could cross illegally.

Left home with a 3 year-old and no plan.

I didn’t say anyone said we should treat them inhumanely.

I don’t mind if you don’t take me seriously. I’ve read your posts.

Interesting short opinion piece

“Trump finally has his wall.”

I would not put too much stock in the opinions of Jorge Ramos.
The humanitarian crisis in Mexico is the 250,000 killed and 37,400 disappeared in the last 12 years.
2300 killed between January and October of this year in Tijuana alone.
A lot of these “migrants” are fleeing violence in their counties and want to pass thru Mexico, to the USA, because it isn’t safe in Mexico.
This piece has some truth, and not opinion, on the “Crisis in Civilization” that is occurring in our neighbor to the South with which we share a common border.

An attempt to smuggle immigrants into the country illegally ended with three people dead and eight seriously injured in a crash in California near the Mexico border, authorities on Sunday said.

The eight survivors were Mexican immigrants while the driver was identified as an American citizen, Border Patrol said.

Tragic, tragic outcome of crime.

Yes it really shows the smugglers total disregard for those that they smuggle.
This coyote was a US citizen living in TJ I believe, so he had a lot to lose if caught. I mean if they are caught on the US side the “immigrants” just claim asylum, and are put into the system right? No need to run really. Catch and release.
Unfortunately there are those that will point fingers at the officers now for needlessly pursuing a vehicle running at 100 mph, and being reckless not to break off the pursuit, therefore¨contributing to, or flat out being the cause, of the accident.
Yes a tragedy.

They’re apparently climbing over the fence. Is this how it’s supposed to work?

No
It’s been working for them for years tho so why stop?

Tourists and visitors have been canceling planned trips to the Mexican state of Baja California since the border crossing shut down briefly a week ago, and according to tour-friendly business owners, many fear getting trapped in Mexico should the crossing close again, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Sunday.

Huh, a negative impact on poor Mexico’s economy.

And ours, of course.

Oh, you must be wrong Sneaky. We were all told they were going to follow the legal process to apply for asylum. You’re crazy for even thinking they would do this.

The “asylumers” have lost their patience, they’re scaling the fence. Who could have predicted this?

Jim Acosta told us this would not happen :frowning:

Not much action today besides climbing the fence. Saturday seems to be the most active day.

I wonder if the Rep climbed the fence with them.

This just goes to show that we need to finish the wall immediately. If it isn’t already finished.

More “asylum” seekers breaking the law. Shouldn’t be long now before they start tearing down the border and the MSM starts making comparisons with Berlin.

So what becomes of them.

In a new analysis of the latest numbers, from 2014, 63 percent of non-citizens are using a welfare program, and it grows to 70 percent for those here 10 years or more, confirming another concern that once immigrants tap into welfare, they don’t get off it.

Well imagine that.

Coming here to work huh.

Anchor Baby Alert!

A Honduran woman is believed to be the first member of the migrant caravan to have a child in the United States after scaling the border wall with her family and giving birth within 24 hours.

19 years old with 2 kids. Probably planning on working her way through nursing school.

Calling the birth in the U.S. a “big reward” for her family’s journey,

Yep, got the golden ticket.
