Illegals from south of Mexico are making a furious run north for the U.S. border. At least 1,500 hopeful migrants are hoping to get through the gate before Donald Trump is sworn into office. Apparently, they didn’t get the word that they’ll be put on a bus and shipped right back to where they came from. They’re convinced that by trekking all the way across Mexico in one big herd they have a better chance of busting through.
Desperate herd of illegals
Another one of those migrant herd “caravans” of illegals has “formed in southern Mexico on Wednesday.” They aren’t shy about “openly admitting they were desperate to cross into the U.S. before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.”
Most of them are from Central and South America. The rest are terrorists from seedier parts of the world. The horde also includes “large numbers of young children.”
Reports dated November 20 note the illegals “began marching from the city of Tapachula near the Guatemalan border.” They had been stalled there by the thousands “after being stopped by Mexican authorities from going farther.”
Certain that they can get in as long as they make it across before Trump takes office, they banded together and broke through security.
Strapping the toddlers into strollers, an estimated 1,500 illegals started walking on the 1,100-mile hike. They’re convinced they’ll make it all the way to the line well before January 20.
They all know “he promises to close the border.” What they don’t quite understand is his plan to “launch the largest deportation operation in the history of the U.S.” It’s still worth a shot, they shrug.
Get an appointment
The illegals are loving that CBP One App that Alejandro Mayorkas was so thoughtful to set up. Too bad he won’t be around much longer. They haven’t heard the name Tom Homan yet but they’re about to.
According to 23-year-old Venezuelan Yotzeli Peña, “it is going to be more difficult, that’s why we are going in hopes of getting an appointment quicker so we are able to cross before he takes office. That would be easier.” Easier but not foolproof.
Because they’re illegals in Mexico, too, the “migrants have been largely unable to support themselves in Tapachula.” They plan to make the journey to Matamoros, across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas, in 16 days “without stopping.”
If they don’t keep moving they’ll be attacked by bandits. Mexican police won’t bother trying to round up hundreds all at once, so that’s another reason for safety in numbers.
Even a caravan of 1,500 isn’t enough to scare away the heavily armed cartels. “Drug cartels in Mexico have become heavily involved in migrant trafficking, often threatening the migrants and extorting payments for permission to pass through their turf.” That’s on a day when they’re feeling friendly.
“The gangs are also known to kidnap migrants, holding them in deplorable conditions or torturing them until they contact relatives to send money for their release.” Like the Genesis song goes, “It’s no fun being an illegal alien.” The cartels consider each of the illegals as money in the bank.
