Central American invasion turned back?


Don Surber . . . "This nomination does not quite qualify for the Don't-Feud-With-Donald-Or-You'll-Feel-The-Trump-Effect.
"This was better.
"The Ship of Fools who were to be a caravan of illegal immigrants headed for our southern border did not liberalize our already weak border security, but helped President Trump secure our borders.
"The Mexican government decided to call it off.
" 'A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday," Agence France Presse reported.
"Irineo Mujica, the head of People Without Borders, told AFP, "We will wrap up our work in Mexico City.' " . . .


Donald Trump Thanks Mexico for Breaking up Immigration Caravan
. . . "Although the caravan has broken up, many of the participants still plan to make their way to the United States.
"The president spent days focused on the caravan, disturbed that the United States law allowing “catch and release” would allow many of the illegal immigrants crossing the border to stay." . . .
Thomas LifsonHow Trump beat the left at its own game with the caravan to our border  "Make no mistake: President Trump has vanquished an open borders propaganda operation and beaten the left at its own game.  With the announcement by Pueblo Sin Fronteras that the caravan it organized from Central America to the U.S. border will end in Mexico City, the humiliation is palpable.  You can tell by the denial of the obvious reality:
Fearful of the risks to children among the bedraggled and tired knot of travelers, the organizers of the annual caravan, U.S.-based advocacy group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said it would end in the capital, not at the border as had been planned.
"It's not because of Donald Trump," said Irineo Mujica, director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which has staged the caravan since 2010 to draw attention to migrants' rights and help them.
Mujica said the group did not want to put children on freight trains, which are traditionally used to cover part of the journey to the border.  Nicknamed "la bestia" (the beast), the train is infamous for causing injury to migrants.
"All of a sudden, after years of annual treks, they realize that it is too hazardous, and it has nothing to do with Trump.  This is pathetic!" . . .
