Personally, when the caravan started throwing rocks and tearing down the fence along the southern Mexico border, the police should have opened fire..

Revealed: The Pentagon REFUSED Trump's request to send troops to the US-Mexico border


  • The Pentagon rejected request for US troops to assist other law enforcement officials at the US-Mexico border where migrants are seeking to gain asylum
  • The request was turned down because the Department of Defense claimed active duty troops do not 'have the authority to conduct that type of mission'
  • The US military is forbidden from making arrests and law enforcement functions
  • Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would send up to 15,000 troops, many of them armed, to repel an 'invasion' of migrants
  • The Pentagon rejected a request from the Trump administration for troops to help counter a group of Central American migrants walking to the US border to request asylum.
    The Department of Homeland Security asked that the Pentagon provide a reserve force that could be called upon to provide 'crowd and traffic control' and safeguard Customs and Border Protection personnel at the US-Mexico border.
    However the Pentagon rejected the request on October 26 even as it signed off on providing DHS with air and logistics support, medical personnel and engineers, CNN reported.

Yep. The ALT-left now considers the rule of law to be "hate". The concepts of border and national sovereignty are now racist. I guess the govt is no longer allowed to decide who can and can't legally enter the US. Or is it just Trump who isn't allowed?


When did the law change that those wanting asylum cannot do so?


I agree that border and national security is important, however, when you have a leader who says it's okay to shoot people who throw rocks, who continues to steal children from their families and refuse to reunite them...


How is any of that 'lawful'?

They are asking the asylum seekers to check in at a regular border crossing to be processed by law, not illegally cross the border.


Are Liberals getting spooked and withdrawing funds to help the caravan? The caravan is losing direction.

Tired and angry, migrant caravan splinters in Mexican state

ISLA, Mexico - A 4,000-strong caravan of Central American migrants travelling through Mexico split up into several groups with one spending the night in a town in the coastal state of Veracruz and other migrants continuing toward the country's capital.
The divisions came during a tense day in which tempers flared and some migrants argued with caravan organizers and criticized Mexican officials. They were upset that Veracruz Gov. Miguel Angel Yunes had reneged on an offer late Friday to provide buses on Saturday to leapfrog the migrants to Mexico City.
The migrants trekked to the town of Isla, about 700 miles (1,126 kilometres) south of the U.S. border, where several thousand stopped to rest, eat and receive medical attention. They planned to spend the night there before departing at 5 a.m. Sunday en route to the town of Cordoba.
But other migrants, mainly men and the younger members of the group, kept on walking or hitching rides toward Puebla and Mexico City. They hunkered down for the night in Juan Rodriguez Clara or Tierra Blanca farther along the route.
"We think that it is better to continue together with the caravan. We are going to stay with it and respect the organizers," Luis Euseda, a 32-year-old from Tegucigalpa, Honduras who is travelling with his wife Jessica Fugon, said in Isla. "Others went ahead, maybe they have no goal, but we do have a goal and it is to arrive."
Caravan organizers have pleaded for buses in recent days after three weeks on the road, hitching rides and walking. With the group scattered, some have raised questions about whether the caravan would stick together.
In a statement, the migrants lambasted Mexican officials for directing them northward through the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, calling it the "route of death." A trek via the sugar fields and fruit groves of Veracruz takes them through a state where hundreds of migrants have disappeared in recent years, falling prey to kidnappers looking for ransom payments.
Authorities in Veracruz said in September they had discovered remains from at least 174 people buried in clandestine graves. Some security experts have questioned whether those bodies belonged to migrants.
Gerardo Perez, a 20-year-old migrant, said he was tired. "They're playing with our dignity. If you could have only seen the people's happiness last night when they told us that we were going by bus and today we're not," he said.
The caravan's "strength in numbers" strategy has enabled them to mobilize support as they move through Mexico and has inspired subsequent migrants to try their luck via caravan.
Mexico faces the unprecedented situation of having three caravans stretched over 300 miles (500 kilometres) of highway in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz, with a total of more than 6,000 migrants.
On Friday, a caravan from El Salvador waded over the Suchiate River into Mexico, bringing 1,000 to 1,500 people who want to reach the U.S. border.
That caravan initially tried to cross the bridge between Guatemala and Mexico, but Mexican authorities told them they would have to show passports and visas and enter in groups of 50 for processing.
Another caravan, also of about 1,000 to 1,500 people, entered Mexico earlier this week and is now in Chiapas. That group includes Hondurans, Salvadorans and some Guatemalans.
The first, largest group of mainly Honduran migrants entered Mexico on Oct.
Mexican officials appear conflicted over whether to help or hinder their journeys.
Immigration agents and police have at times detained migrants in the smaller caravans. But several mayors have rolled out the welcome mat for migrants who reached their towns - arranging for food and camp sites.
Mexico's Interior Department says nearly 3,000 of the migrants in the first caravan have applied for refuge in Mexico and hundreds more have returned home.
With or without the government's help, uncertainty awaits.
President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. troops to the Mexican border in response to the caravans. More than 7,000 active duty troops have been told to deploy to Texas, Arizona and California ahead of the midterm elections.
He plans to sign an order next week that could lead to the large-scale detention of migrants crossing the southern border and bar anyone caught crossing illegally from claiming asylum.

Considering they're still months FROM the border, you can't say what they're going to do when they get there. FFS, some of these people may not even get to the border, considering what's going on.

And proof please that any liberals are sending funds to help the caravan? Real proof, not some right wing BS tripe.

Examine US history and its relations with Latin America, particularly Central America. The US is responsible for a good deal of the poverty and suffering that exists there. If it wants the poverty-stricken and terrorized population of Central America to stay where it is, perhaps it is time for the US to correct some of those wrongs.

exactly!! but no one talks about that part of the situation. Perhaps by correcting those wrongs.......... the population would not have the need to leave and bother Uncle SAm ....to the point to f military hysteria..

The US has a history and pattern of destroying areas.......... creating humanitarian disasters and then rejecting the people that they hurt so devastatingly. It is time for the US to take ownership of its previous behavior..... and stop band aid solutions. which are inhumane.

I should they have broke through the Mexican border fence the way they did ?
desperation can make folks do things that are not totally legal.

again....... issuing threats like Trump is doing...... The y might try to help relieve the suffering in that part of the world.........( that the US contributed to anyhow)..........and prevent the need to leave the area. deal with the ROOT of the problem..........not the symptom.

So because they ar3 in desperate straights crashing through border fences with impunity is ok . It is ok to drag your family through foriegn inhabitable country putting all at risk to a place where you are unwelcome @nd have little chance of success .
