    This is what taking action looks like and Trump is absolutely right, we shouldn't reward any country who willingly and intentionally allows people to violate our sovereignty. Trump should also threaten to drop the hammer on Mexico if this caravan is allowed to travel freely to our border and seek asylum for bogus and unverified reasons. This caravan can seek safety, refuge and eternal bliss in the paradise of Mexico....Southern Mexico.

    Isn't it amazing timing.

    Once again, another "caravan" of migrants are leaving the **** box they created in hopes of duplicating it elsewhere.

    And who is behind these sudden "surges"?

    Hmmmmm

    They are coming here because of democrats like Gavin Newsome who promise them health care and services paid for by the American people if they managed to make it here.

    And they are doing it on a signal from the real leadership of the New Democratic Party.

    The Democratic Party represents the world in American politics and not the American people.

    There's nothing democratic (a process) about the Democrat (what they are) party.

    Thank God we don't live in a democracy.

    Honduras and Guatemala act to stop migrants after Trump threats

    WASHINGTON/ESQUIPULAS, Guatemala (Reuters) - The organizer of a migrant caravan from Honduras was detained on Tuesday in Guatemala as the U.S. government threatened to withdraw aid from both countries and El Salvador if the flow of migrants north to the United States was not stopped.

    Any liberal MSM pollsters on their way to ask how many are fleeing "murderers and rapists"? Maybe ask about their employment skills, level of education ... are they the "best and brightest"? Will they need free health care after the arduous trek? The US is wasting billion$ trying to improve conditions in central, south America. The aid obviously never reaches the masses that are fleeing. Their failed despotic regimes haven't even the decency to buy them bus tickets.

    Mexico is jumping in. Mexico = our new BFF’s.

    Mexico deploys officers to its southern border to block migrants headed for the US
    The Mexican government has reinforced security at its southern border with Guatemala before a 2,000-person caravan of Hondurans is expected to try to enter the country and head for the United States, according to a local report.

    Mexico BETTER stop them. Mexico is completely at fault if they allow large groups of migrants to freely pass through their country, only to drop them off on our doorstep. Its basically an act of war. That's NOT how you treat allies.

    If this works, great! (Did any prior presidents try this approach? And if not, why not? It seems so stunningly straightforward.)

    Trump's warning to cut aid over migrant caravan gets Honduras's and Guatemala's attention

    Already Guatemala and Honduras have busted a move to halt the giant migrant caravan headed to el norte in time for U.S. midterms.

    An incurious press has declined to report on who is financing the caravan or its leader who got detained, or why those migrants in the photos have such new-looking clothes, for that matter, but in the past, such caravans were bankrolled by George Soros-financed front groups and actually called the "Soros Express."

    Hondurans illegally entering the U.S. with middle fingers flashing at the Tijuana border.

    La Tribuna writes that yes, the Guatemalan authorities' detention was indeed linked to President Trump's warning:

    "La expulsión de Bartolo acontece en momentos en los que el gobierno de Donald Trump amenaza al gobierno de Honduras que, si no detiene la caravana, suspenderá las ayudas", añadió la comunicadora.​

    Is aid important? Apparently, it was, because these guys acted fast.

    It's an effective use of leverage by Trump to achieve rule of law in the U.S. as he promised, and with Guatemala's and Honduras' actions, there are signs it's getting results.

    Good move Mr. President. When you’re attacked for it, double down. Maybe tweet about it at 2:00 am for good measure.

    Exactly, last I checked, Honduras doesn't have a common border with the USA (and I KNOW Trump doesn't know this fact).... This is the place to stop this....

    I would have looked for this obvious news myself, but you saved me the work!! You RULE!!

    You leftists are so confident in the lies your news sources feed to you. Entertain me ---- what makes you think you "KNOW" Trump thinks Honduras borders the US? (Hint, his dedication to building a wall along the US/Mexico border would indicate your claims about Trump's knowledge of border geography are wrong, but maybe Mother Jones or whatever convinced you otherwise?)

    Seriously, this level of mindless partisanship is what is tearing our country apart.

    Do you have any actual legitimate criticism of Trump's actions here regarding this migrant caravan?

    It's a good first place and then at our border with Mexico where we can refuse entry to Hondurans even those seeking asylum. Then close the holes in the border where they attempt to cross over illegally.

    Typical leftist response ---- twist things around, move the goalposts, and throw out an accusation of racism.

    Nobody has indicated any racism towards Hondurans. The problem is illegal immigration and caravans of potential illegals who are likely politically motivated and politically funded.

    There are ways to legally immigrate to the United States. This isn't one of them.

    There is nothing racist about post #19 and there is nothing racist about attempting to discourage illegal immigration and
    caravans of potential illegals who are likely politically motivated and politically funded.

    Mindless partisanship, indeed. Anything to get in a feeble swipe at Trump...even if it makes a poster himself look like
    a clown.
