Reports from Mexican Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez Cordero indicate the largest caravan ever to form with intentions of heading to the U.S.-Mexican border is in progress in Honduras right now. Joining the Hondurans are migrants from El Salvador and Guatemala. This report comes despite claims by Honduras’ Deputy Foreign Minister Nelly Jerez that there’s nothing to see here.

My Take
The only thing that could possibly stop this from happening is a concerted effort by both the United States and Mexico to discourage the effort altogether. The United States must build the wall, but more importantly we need to address the overburdened border patrol who can no longer handle the weight of so many migrants crossing the border illegally. Once they make it across, they’re universally released into the interior with a chit and hopes they’ll follow up by coming to their asylum hearing months or years later.
Mexico must also physically stop them. They have a smaller border to protect, one protected by sturdy fencing, and with the military they could prevent migrants from crossing illegally into their nation just as we need to stop migrants from crossing illegally into ours.
What leftists fail to realize is the trends are getting higher. This isn’t about a few hundred or even a few thousand people escaping gang-infested living conditions. This is about a mass exodus from Central America by a people who keep hearing how wonderful everything will be for them once they get here. They’re not told of the dangers. They’re not told that the women and girls have a very good chance of being raped repeatedly on their way. They don’t realize there just isn’t enough shelter to offer them, in part because Democrats refuse to give funding for more beds.
This is all part of long-brewed plan to deny our own sovereignty as a nation in favor of open borders and absolute globalism. I have to believe the supporters of such things simply don’t realize the danger they put themselves and every American in for the sake of a cause that doesn’t need to exist. They’re falling into a trap an dragging the rest of us down with them.
It’s long past time for the left to acknowledge this is a much bigger problem than they realized. It takes humility to admit mistakes, but as the border is overrun, it’s necessary that they gain some perspective immediately. They’re destroying us.
Will you help revive the American Conservative Movement?
