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.

“I have been HIV positive for 16 years,”

This is how she introduces herself?

This is how she introduces herself?

At least she lets you know beforehand.

At least she lets you know beforehand.

I give it 4 years before doing that to a prospective sex partner becomes a criminal offense in California.

 

[Yovevires]

That's no good either though. All the wealthy whites who love migrants but not when they're too close will white flight themselves out of California and infect other states with their bullshit.

At this point I'm in favor of letting California secede and building a wall along the Californian border.

 

[LazloChalos]

For a moment, just a brief precious moment, I though the titled referred to Mexicans breaking the border fence into Mexico while attempting to flee California.

 

[pwnest injun]

By the time the wall is built, there will be absolutely no question as to how necessary it was to build it.

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

"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.

Can't wait until this kid croaks from being dragged through a desert and libs blame america cause she was a good mom dindu nuffin wrong

 

[Kalishnakov]

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.

Strange days in America.

They could always build an catapult for their drugs.

Ain't that hard, considering that the ancients used them for launching diseased cows into cities.

That's discreet and efficient, "let's launch a duffel bag over the wall and hope that not only does it not land on the roof of someone's house, get noticed by border patrol, or the contents explode out of the bag upon impact, but that it's also acquired by our people without being apprehended. In fact, let's fire a flare gun during the night at the launch site while ghetto-blasting mariachi music just in case the mule missed it."

Trump is the reason Mexico didn't build their Wall. The President wanted to virtue-signal so instead of a nice Wall they are breaking through the gates.

The amount of people who are willing to throw themselves on a bed of spikes just to spite some ex-wrestler is insane and has no limits to its stupidity. How far are they going to go in self destructing before they hit some vague line where they realize "wait, this is stupid, why am I doing it?"

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

I saw a brief news item in today's paper that Mexico sent a little over 200 people back to Honduras because their being in Mexico was deemed "irregular." Has Mexico finally realized nothing good comes from these caravans, or was this posturing so Mexico can say, "We did something, but they're still coming"?

 

[The tired cat]

I'm more surprise the Cartels didn't suddenly act up because of these idiots walking around their ground so much.
