Migrant Caravan 2,000-People Strong Was Marching to America, Then All Are Detained (Details)

Laws are laws for a reason. You don’t have to obey them but you do have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. That’s kind of the whole point.

Unfortunately, half of the country would rather side with lawbreakers because it makes them feel good. Who cares about rules and regulations? Who needs crazy Republicans to fight for America and uphold her values? Conservatives all just backward-thinking, sister marrying hillbilly’s, anyway!

Thankfully, though, Donald Trump won in 2016. That means the federal government will work hard to keep illegals out of the country, whether it’s a small group masquerading as a family or a caravan comprised of 2,000 people. It’s just a shame that Mexico is now doing more to stem the flow of illegals than are Democrats.

From AP News:

TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — Mexican officials broke up a caravan of around 2,000 migrants that had set out from southern Mexico Saturday in the hopes of reaching the United States, amid increasing difficulty obtaining permission to pass through Mexico.

Many of the migrants who departed from Tapachula, Chiapas early in the morning had been held up in this city just north of Guatemala for weeks or months, awaiting residency or transit papers from Mexican authorities. The migrants are originally from Central America, Africa and the Caribbean.

For Donald Trump, the cruelty is the point.

His immigration agenda has created the conditions on our border—conditions only bound to get worse. We are better than this.

What I saw in across the border in Matamoros, Mexico is a national embarrassment—one entirely of Trump’s creation.

Make no mistake: his agenda is killing people—and it’s on purpose.

BREAKING: We just heard the terrible news that all 12 of our clients escorted by @JulianCastro were sent back to Mexico. This is of course a mockery of due process. Here is our statement on the matter:

The 12 asylum seekers our attorneys, advocates, and Secretary Julian Castro escorted to the Gateway International Bridge of Matamoros and Brownsville this morning have been sent back into Mexico.

Their claims to exemptions to the “Remain in Mexico” policy have been rejected by Brownsville CBP, who have broad discretion over the matter.

The blow to the rule of law was an elected representative breaking the law by engaging in human trafficking.

Julian Castro STILL not indicted for people smuggling. Indeed, he mocks the law every day he’s free.

That’s how it should be. You don’t get to decide whether or not they’re accepted. Courts do, and yes, they can stay right there until their day comes.

We tried playing the game their way. They broke the law. Now, it’s our turn. You can wait for your day somewhere else
