Mexico dispatches two Boeing 727s full of federal police officers to intercept migrant caravan from Honduras heading to the US that has defied Trump's warnings and continues to grow

Submitted by: W.G.E.N.

Not only should Pres. Trump deploy American military to the Southern Border but all those who are presently being held in locations who need to be deported need to be deported at once.  Their home country either pays for the expenses we have had in taking care of their citizens or the *foreign aid* they have been getting will immediately stop and they will be billed for all costs associated with dealing with their citizens.  No more foreign aid and they WILL pay for the costs incurred so far and until all their citizens are back where they belong there will be no more foreign aid even considered for them.  It is NOT the responsibility of the American tax payer to support another nation or their run away citizens.  Not sure where this mentality was born but it is now time to stop it and instill a new way to think of the USA - We are not the NANNY of the world any longer.

Mexico has dispatched two Boeing 727s full of federal police officers to its southern border, as the country prepares for the arrival of a migrant caravan of thousands from Central America.

Five hundred federal police officers in riot gear arrived on Wednesday in Tapachula, Chiapas on the border with Guatemala, where some 4,000 migrants are now marching northward.

The presence of federal forces on the southern border of the country is not to stop migrants from crossing the border, but to help immigration officials maintain order, Mexican Federal Police Commissioner Manelich Castilla Craviotto told Noticeros Televisia.

'The INM reiterates its unrestricted commitment to respect the human rights of migrants,' said Mexico's National Institute of Migration, a government agency that controls and supervises immigration. 

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Thursday that he will use military force to seal the U.S-Mexico border unless Mexico intervenes. 

'I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught – and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!' Trump wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the massive caravan continued its trek north in a bold attempt to reach the United States, defying threats from President Donald Trump to stop aid to countries that let them pass.

The group reached Guatamala City on Wednesday, about 180 miles from the Mexican border, where Mexican officials greeted leaders of the march.

Mexico's Foreign Ministry said that at the meeting, 'reliable and updated information was provided on the procedures required by the Government of Mexico to allow regular entry of migrants to Mexico and the process to be followed for those who wish to request recognition of refugee status.'

The officials also advised the migrants that there was no transit visa that would allow them to cross to the northern border with the US, according to the Foreign Ministry.

Trump - who took aim at Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador on Tuesday - kept up his attacks on the march the following day, saying it should be an important issue for Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.

'Hard to believe that with thousands of people from South of the Border walking unimpeded towards our country in the form of large caravans, that the Democrats won't allow legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country.'

'Republicans must make the horrendous, weak and outdated immigration laws, and the border, a part of the midterms,' the President said on Twitter.

In a church-sponsored shelter in the center of the Guatemalan capital on Wednesday, a vanguard group of around a thousand Hondurans took refuge, exhausted by tramping for hours in the sun and rain.

'This is the beginning of an avalanche that is coming, because we can no longer endure so much violence,' said Denis Contreras, who fled Honduras with his sister and two nieces.

Contreras, wearing the red shirt of the Honduran national soccer team, said there's no going back to his Central American country he says is strangled by poverty and violence. Leaving the country 'is already frowned upon' by Honduras' gangs and returning would be a death sentence, he said.

Their objective now is to regain strength and press on towards the border with Mexico.

A second group moved across the border into Guatemala on Monday afternoon and have reached the city of Esquipulas.

A third of more than 400 Hondurans crossed El Salvador to join up as well, according to Salvadoran migration officials.
