Central Americans traveling in a mass caravan broke through a Guatemalan border fence and streamed by the thousands toward Mexican territory Friday, defying Mexican authorities' entreaties for an orderly migration and U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of retaliation.
Arriving 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 a federal police officer used a loudspeaker to address the masses, saying, "We need you to stop the aggression."
Armed police tear gas Honduran migrants at Guatemala-Mexico border but then let caravan of 4,000 PASS THROUGH, women and children first, as Trump's demands to stop it are ignored
Quote:
The caravan of Honduran migrants making their way to the US stormed through a border gate in Guatemala on Friday morning to run over a bridge to Mexico where they were met with tear gas from riot police before being allowed into the country and continue their march towards America.
The group of around 4,000 migrants overpowered police first in Tecun Uman, Guatemala, to make their way over the short bridge into Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexican's southernmost state of Chiapas.
They had been forced to retreat and reorganize earlier in the day after being met with strong resistance.
After crossing the bridge, they were confronted by a daunting force of armed Mexican officers who threw tear gas in their direction and stood in lines, lifting up children who ran towards them and standing firm behind their shields.
After a standoff, they agreed they would let some of the migrants through and started asking that they form lines.
I just heard on Laura Ingraham's show that the invaders have put women and children in the front of the line so the Mexican police won't be so aggressive.

They are POS parents. No decent parent would deliberately put their child in harm's way.
So much for Mexico holding the line and repelling this invasion. Now I hope that Trump gets tough on Mexico and shuts down the border. Also, he tells Mexico that since they allowed these despicable people to force their way into Mexico, they are now Mexico's problem.
The U.S. National Guard's Military Police units already have various non-lethal options, I think they should prepare and stage those microwave sickness units, laser-disorienting devices and as much gas options as possible.
If this "caravan" is allowed to go through because they're bullying their way up, the next wave will be even bigger.
They need to be deterred NOW.
Non-lethal options, no roughing them up, just a very firm lesson that they cannot come on U.S. soil, and to go elsewhere.

Looks like a wholesale invasion like Europe saw with Muslims Displaced by Obama's war in Syria. If this wave is successful there will be millions coming over the next few years.
