Migrants break border gate, force their way into Mexico

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican authorities said a group of about 350 migrants broke the locks on a gate at the Guatemalan border Friday and forced their way into southern Mexico to join a larger group of migrants trying to make their way toward the United States.

The National Immigration Institute did not identify the nationalities of the migrants, but they are usually from Central America.

A similar confrontation occurred on the same border bridge between Mexico and Guatemala last year.

The institute said the migrants were acting in a “hostile” and “aggressive” way, and accused them of also attacking local police in Metapa, a Mexican village that lies between the border and the nearby city of Tapachula.

The group of 350 pushed past police guarding the bridge and joined a larger group of about 2,000 migrants who are walking toward Tapachula in the latest caravan to enter Mexico.

Claudia Jaqueline Sandoval, 43, from El Progreso, Honduras, was walking toward Tapachula with her 6-year-old daughter. Another son and a daughter are already in the United States.

“I have been HIV positive for 16 years,” said Sandoval, but her reason for going north was not just medical treatment. “It has been two years since I heard from my son” in the United States, and money is scarce, she said.

There are already several groups of migrants in the southern border state of Chiapas who have expressed frustration at Mexico’s policy of slowing or stopping the process of handing out humanitarian and exit visas at the border.

A group of several hundred Cuban, African and Central American migrants have been waiting at the immigration offices in Tapachula for documents that would allow them to travel to the U.S. border, where most plan to request asylum.

Some members of that group have scuffled with immigration authorities and broken windows at the offices in recent days, accusing officials of making them wait too long for papers.

And another group of an estimated 2,500 Central American and Cuban migrants have been stuck for at least a week further west in the Chiapas town of Mapastepec, also waiting for papers.

Mexico can go fuck themselves. They’re part of the problem and should definitely pay for a wall at our border.

 

[Clop]

But calling it an 'invasion' is "overreacting."

If you mean their government, yes. Agree. But Mexican people (except for their own progressiveS) don't like Central Americans that much. In fact, nobody does. I can tell you that most South American don't like them either, for what I've learned here.

And that says a lot.

This thread should have a "Disaster" tag.

Other than that there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Well, maybe that the Big Beautiful Wall ought to be decorated with invaders' rotting nude corpses.

In the long run nothing will stop them; They're going to break in.

I'm tagging it disaster based off of this quote alone:

Bus every single person involved straight to any and all sanctuary city in the USA.

 

[crocodilian]

Bus every single person involved straight to any and all sanctuary city in the USA.

Yes, bus the illegals into the country, where the government will never prosecute them and they can do everything they wanted. What a great plan. Who needs a border wall? Thank you, Mr. President, you are my greatest ally.

Absolutely nothing could go wrong.

More organs for the Cartels

 

[Yovevires]

Maybe they will finally secure their border?

 

[Regret]

It is at this point they should be seen as an invading force and dealt with accordingly.

 

[KeyserBroze]

 

[The Last Stand]

I'm out of sympathy at this point. Everybody involved in this situation needs to be dealt with accordingly. This is practically a break in.

Just open the border to California and tell them not to step foot east of the California state line
