They weren't sent there to shoot everyone but it is possible that something could happen. I have no idea really what they are going to do since it will be a literally be a "mexican standoff" between people on both sides of the border.

Do they say what evidence they have seen, to make them think so?

Got a link or reference?

Not interested in feeding other mother’s children. Clearly, you do not get that national security is the issue. Anti-capitalistic patrolling is not a task for the military.

Default Fox News Hannity: Migrant Caravan says "Trump is the anti-christ" "“If he doesn’t repent, he’s going to hell.”

https://www.hannity.com/media-room/c...going-to-hell/

Who do they think they are disrespecting the President and Commander and Chief of the country the country are illegally trying to invade?

If the parade of welfare shoppers who claim to be starving but yet have babies they can't afford and criminals even makes here will be wonderful when they detained and flown back and their 1,500 mile long, hot and sticky walk through the jungles and mountains will all be in vain.

That silly caravan walking in the blazing heat in the middle of the jungle is already disrespecting our beloved, America-first and Make America Great Again President.

Part of Making America Great Again is keeping out these gangsters, welfare-shoppers and criminals in these caravans out of the United States.

I guess they are very stressed out knowing that there 1,500 mile walk is all going to be in vain. I guess they are getting the message that President Trump and General Mattis aren't messing around and that this 1,500 mile walk is all going to be in pointless.

I guess that 1,500 mile walks pushing strollers and numerous off-spring that they can't afford is causing snowflake meltdowns in the middle of nowhere.

Love the picture that the most successful news anchor of all time posted of the caravan. A women with four children walking 1,500 miles to try to take advantage of our welfare system.

Nothing more than a bunch of welfare shoppers walking 1,500 miles so they can have anchor babies on America soil.

Reports I've seen say that new people are joining as fast as existing marchers are dropping out.

I do wonder about the high number of miles per day. On one day they went from one city to another, whose distance apart was 64 miles. An Olympic marathoner could do that. But are these people all Olympic marathoners? Including the old folks, and the moms pushing strollers?

This is virtually certain to be a round fired by a governmental agent. No real likelihood of any other outcome.
"They are not the bullets used by police"
So?

"nor are they available commonly out of certain limited countries...none of which are in the Americas"
You can buy rubber bullets here in the US.

You don't even know for certain if he was shot by a bullet or a rubber bullet, or not shot at all but hit by a stick, a rock, etc. They were throwing rocks at people and throwing rocks at the helicopter that was over their head ... rocks have a tendency to fall back to the earth at some point after being thrown up in the air.

What we do know..
1. He was "killed by a blow to the head" - (that is all that we know about him/this)
1. "police deployed to the border didn’t have firearms or any weapons that could fire rubber bullets"
3. "the migrants’ claim that he was shot by Federal Police" - (a claim is not proof of anything)
4. "The migrants, however, did have weapons, including guns and Molotov cocktails"

Another caravan on the way. Will it arrive before the midterms? MERGED

An interesting article from a station that says they have a reporter embedded in the caravan, obviously with a cameraman.

https://abc13.com/politics/migrant-c...to-us/4574407/

The text of the article doesn't provide much information, but the video fills in some interesting blanks.

There are a number of children in the caravan mob, some in strollers. One family he talks to said they have five.

Many participants say they joined the caravan due to extreme crime in their home countries. In other words, because their governments have grossly failed in their primary duty: To protect their citizens' rights.

The video shows many people standing in a very long line, with people at the front getting on a bus of comparative luxury. As the video rolls, that bus moves off. No other bus is present in the frame, but the people in the line do no disperse, as though they are expecting another.

Th reporter says they have gone 18 miles today since before sunup, and that it is roughly a midway point. He also said they intend to walk about 33 miles today, and intend to walk another 35 miles tomorrow. That's a very rough schedule if they're really walking.

He doesn't say which direction they are moving (except "north to the United States" of course). But they stayed this morning in the town of San Pedro Tapanatepec, from which they can either go east to a route toward Texas, or west to Arizona and California. He never mentions which route they have chosen. That would surely be a very important piece of information to Americans wanting to know where they intend to go. And must be plain to the reporter, but no mention. No news may be bad news.

He remarks that he asked many of them if they have criminal records. Many said Yes, he says. He also says he hasn't "seen any middle Easterners". Do all ME'ers look alike? Can any ME'ers ever be mistaken for indigenous people from Central America, especially to a native-born U.S. citizen not familiar with them? It's sounding like President Trump and DHS were telling the truth.

There are people standing in several long lines in the video, some for a bus, some for food, etc. If they intend to cover 30-plus miles in one day, especially pushing strollers, stopping for a long line seems impossible. Yet they are, at least while the camera rolls.

He mentions that some people have dropped out of the caravan mob, and others have joined. Its membership changes daily. Now, he says, they number about 5,000. Previous reports said 7,000 or more.

Yes, these people want a better life, just as our distant relatives wanted from the first settlements-on.

These LOSERS are going to have to find somewhere else to go. They just bring their 3rd world problems with them because they ARE the problem. Stop pumping out kids you can't take care of and stop cowardly hiding behind them for sympathy.

There is no way all those obese women are "starving" where are their LOSER fathers? They are well fed ,many with new iphones. They have been offered sanctuary in Mexico, but prefer freebies in the USA... F ..them !!!
