    More than 4,000 Honduran migrants heading for America

    More than 4,000 Honduran migrants heading for America


    Members of a 4,000-strong migrant caravan have made it to a Guatemalan border town across the muddy Suchiate River from Mexico and faced-off with authorities as a notorious march ringleader has been arrested.

    The first members of the group began arriving in Tecun Uman on buses and trucks early Thursday, but the bulk of the caravan sloshed into town on foot in a downpour late in the afternoon and into the evening. Hundreds walked to the river's edge where they sang the national anthems of Honduras and Guatemala. By Friday a huge crowd was gathered - one man was seen being detained by Guatemalan police.

    The president is threatening to send down the military to secure our southern border if Mexico doesn't stop them.

    And the liberals are all in support of this.

    I really struggle with balancing being "compassionate and welcoming" to people who are seeking "refuge" from deplorable living conditions vs. wanting to protect our borders/country from being over-run with possible criminals and more people putting a drain on our social service resources.

    Well this is just an outright defiance of American law. It's entirely political.
