All these "peaceful" migrants whom you guys want to come to US with no restrictions just broke through a barrier and entered Mexico.
Caravan migrants break Guatemala border fence, rush Mexico
AP said:
Migrants traveling in a mass caravan burst through a Guatemalan border fence and streamed by the thousands toward Mexican territory on Friday, defying Mexican authorities’ entreaties for an orderly crossing and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation.
On the Mexican side of a border bridge, they were met by a phalanx of police with riot shields. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated.
The gates were closed again, and police used a loudspeaker to address the masses, saying, “We need you to stop the aggression.”
[...]
Earlier in the day, thousands of migrants, some waving Honduran flags and carrying umbrellas to protect against the sun, arrived at the Guatemalan side of the river, noisily demanding they be allowed to cross.
“One way or another, we will pass,” they chanted, climbing atop U.S.-donated military jeeps parked at the scene. Young men tugged on the fence, finally tearing it down, prompting the huge crowd of men, women and children to rush past and over the bridge.
This is an invasion, no matter how you want to sugarcoat it.
And if you are poor because you have four or six children, you have nobody else to blame but yourself. Condom and birth control technology has reached Honduras. You are certainly not entitled to just enter foreign countries because you want to make more money to provide for all the many children you irresponsibly made. If they keep filling Honduras with bloody children they can't afford to bloody feed, they should not count on US to take in all their overflow population!
Look, they even have a flag-bearer, like a proper invading army.

As Trump Assails Caravan, a Clash Between Migrants and Mexico Police
NY Times said:
After a tense hourlong standoff, during which migrants hurled objects at the police, including rocks and shoes, the police fired canisters of tear gas, forcing the migrants into a retreat.
At least six police officers were wounded in the confrontation, officials said.
For a caravan of people supposedly fleeing violence, they are awfully quick to engage in violence themselves.
“We don’t have the right to go into Mexico but we have to do it because our country is undergoing economic collapse,” said Oscar Danilo Garcia Rodriguez, 43, a Honduran migrant. “There’s no work, there’s no money, there’s nothing.”
1. He acknowledges that he is entering Mexico illegally and has no right to be there.
2. He admits that he is an economic migrant, not a "refugee", not a legitimate asylum seeker. This is all about money, not any supposed "persecution". I do not think he will be that forthright when talking to an asylum official, though.
Just the person you want to immigrate to US, right?
After the crowd had retreated, settled down and formed into lines, the Mexican authorities began allowing people to pass through a corridor of riot police to the waiting buses.
Mexican authorities should have turned them away.
P.S.: To all the people in favor of this caravan and other mass migration efforts like Muslims flooding into Europe through several fronts (Mediterranean boats being only one of many routes to illegal entry), is there any number of migrants per year too much? Or would you just take in however many want to come in?
P. P. S.: Forget US Army, we need to get some IDF guys on our southern border. Those guys really know how to protect a fence!
