Sounds like the first line of a movie script based on some dystopian future, doesn’t it? But it’s actually an underreported story from the real world.
I first became aware of this developing tale thanks to a tweet from Nicolas Medina Mora lionizing the work of Adolfo Flores of Buzzfeed. What is Adolfo up to? Take a look.
Flores is apparently on a lengthy trek through all of Mexico with a literal army of migrants from a number of countries including Honduras. Normally one might imagine that a potential national security crisis for the United States such as this would be cause for raising the alarm. Instead, the Buzzfeed reporter is cheering them on and talking about their “struggle.”

You won’t see much in the way of coverage of this on the major networks or CNN, but Buzzfeed is covering it.
For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.
Organized by a group of volunteers called Pueblos Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, the caravan is intended to help migrants safely reach the United States, bypassing not only authorities who would seek to deport them, but gangs and cartels who are known to assault vulnerable migrants.
Organizers like Rodrigo Abeja hope that the sheer size of the crowd will give immigration authorities and criminals pause before trying to stop them.
“If we all protect each other we’ll get through this together,” Abeja yelled through a loudspeaker on the morning they left Tapachula, on Mexico’s border with Guatemala, for the nearly monthlong trek.
This isn’t a group of family members or some isolated, organized clan. This is an army. Flores numbers them in the hundreds but looking at the pictures coming from the “march” it clearly appears that their numbers are swelling. The real figure, as cited by Mora, is likely already more than a thousand. Their purpose? They make no bones about it when asked. They, “hope American authorities will grant them asylum or, for some, be absent when they attempt to cross the border illegally.”
Perhaps they’ve been convinced that they can simply apply for refugee status or asylum when they arrive. And they actually can apply, but that doesn’t mean that they will be accepted on that basis. Further, Mexico bears some responsibility for helping to prevent this sort of organized invasion. Just this week our new Homeland Security Secretary met with Mexico’s Foreign Minister and signed agreements related to customs and border security. All of this is happening in the shadow of those NAFTA restructuring talks. It’s worth asking why, as Flores reports, nobody from Mexico is doing a thing to slow down this march. In fact, in some cases, the Buzzfeed reporter suggests that Mexican towns and cities are actually hurrying them along.
The municipality we’re at now is offering buses to get us to the next town. It’s been happening at several stops, I imagine they’re more interested in getting people out of their public squares. pic.twitter.com/6ay7Rn8fzI

This army of interlopers moving across Mexico “without authorization” as Flores puts it (translated to “illegally”) is seeking to overwhelm the resources of immigration officials and are ready to cross the border illegally if an opening presents itself. If Mexico allows this to simply happen with no intercession they shouldn’t expect such a friendly reception with the State Department and the White House.
If they are to get their way, may they ALL be housed in the homes of those who fought for many years to bring them here, and may they ALL dine at the tables with those who invited them here.
like George Clooney?
In the interest of helping these poor impoverished people, here is a partial list of those who have too much and are willing to share: nancy pelosi, the clintons, gores, obamas, nearly all mayors of large cities, hollywood elites, pro athletes… You are so very welcome and I wish I could provide a map. P.S. sharpton and jackson, u iz gna hafta shair yo welfares. Btr warn yo fsa cuz they aint much pi left.
No, they wont be housed by those who support them and No, G. Clooney will be away filming another flick (but I’m sure he will tweet something in support).
It will be an interesting test to see the reaction of the Border Patrol in responding to this border clash (if they make it that far). I wonder if this would help convince the sympathizers of the “undocumented immigrants” of a need for a wall on our border? Seeing hundreds of aliens line up on the border of America has a disquieting feel to it (will they also use rocks?)
Watching the Palestinians who seem to be doing the same thing, has all the appearance of an invasion, but instead of firepower they are using rocks; probably to garner world sympathy and force the Israeli army to let them pass and retake Palestine.
Not a very good plan.
Mexico is our friend, we must be careful not to upset them or start a trade war with Mexico.
100 millions are waiting to see if America folds like Germany.
Who ever is organizing this, and trail probably leads to Soros, charge them with Human Trafficking criminal incitement!
Will the bluff-buffoon get tough or fold like a cheap lawnchair! again!
They have support from somewhere. You can’t move that many people that far without supplies, sanitation, etc. Someone and/or some organization is paying for it.
If this guy is helping traffic illegals- isn’t that a crime? Why the F hasn’t he been arrested and charged with a federal offense yet?
I hope and trust that when they present themselves at our border they will be met with an overwhelming presence of armed US Border agents! Keeping them in Mexico and allow the Mexican authorities to care of them, house them, feed them, cloth them et al. Maybe then those Mexican weasels will turn the next batch back at “their” southern border. Its enough of a problem that we have to put up with “Mexican” weasels crossing the border and immediately going on welfare.
This is a departure from what Mexico usually does. It is illegal to enter Mexico (imagine that!) and normally Central Americans are turned back and if they are caught in Mexico, jailed. The reason being Mexico wants any illegal jobs going to Mexicans so they can send money back to Mexico. They give not a flying fark about their southern neighbors.
I haven’t heard any updates but I had heard Mexico has or wants to build a southern border fence or wall. Mexico’s southern border is heavily policed.
Hopefully they will be met with machine guns, fire-hoses, viscous police dogs, uniformed thugs swinging batons, pepper spray, tasers and a then loaded into boxcars headed south of the border once again.
Pretty please Jesus, pretty please.
FYI–this is just a test run for the likes of which is unfolding currently in Europe.
There you will see literal columns of African/Mu-slime immigrants breaching the European borders.
By the time this column reaches the US border, I predict that their numbers will swell into 50,000 or more–all will then attempt to rush the border at some point that has little or no wall/defenses.
If there were a time to lay mines and claymores along the southern border, this is the time.
If you haven’t read “Camp of the Saints” yet, you need to.
given that Mexico is in fact assisting this invasion, one could find it reasonable that we meet this with force and send our Military across the border in a statement to the world AND Mexico, meet this group with a wall of steel and lead, primed to defend our country and march them right back onto that train… message being you fuck with us and we will walk over you Mexico and take your oil as well.
Sure would be nice if we had that fucking BORDER WALL we were promised, now wouldn’t it?

These illegals should all be housed in Paul Ryan’s neighborhood. Having your daughters kidnapped, tortured, raped, turned into drug addicts, and rented out as prostitutes is just the price he should have to pay for forcing us to live in a multicultural society.
AC/DC, Nobody’s forcing you, you fuckwad. Don’t you recall Uncle Ronnie said you can vote with your feet? But no, you’d rather stay and bitch like a little bitch.
Highway to Hell
AC/DC
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody’s gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paid my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey mama, look at me
I’m on my way to the promised land, whoo!
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Don’t stop me
I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway
Yeah, highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
And I’m going down
All the way
Whoa!
I’m on the highway to hell
This is clearly an invasion; the armed forces should handle it. Any way they see fit, and on Mexican soil if the Mexicans don’t stop them first.
Enough is enough.
Sure, why not? We have the precedents of the Battle of Veracruz and the Pershing Expedition. Doesn’t mean we can’t do so again.
Is strafing an option?
80% Hondos. That’s what the Obama coup in Honduras got us, a flood of migrants. From Tegus with love.
Tegus is a beautiful city or it was the last time I was there. I love Central America. Too bad it has been destroyed by the banana companies and the CIA.
Same old problem . Too damn many people who need to fix their own countries want to come to the USA to suck off of the gov. teat. Shoot ’em in the streets. Demand Mexico stand up and fix the problem or we should stop all commerce.
Organized – maybe Soros, but I prefer to think a state actor is behind this. After all, with all the Regime Change by the US around the world and the attendant killing of millions of innocents, there should be plenty of people wanting to hit back at the US.
If we had left Central America alone it might not be as fucked up as it is, now. We will never know because we can’t mind our own business.
It’s the overland alternative to the next Mariel Boat Lift(tm).
Bullshit.
It’s 1200 miles from southern Chiapas to Nuevo Laredo. Assuming they are walking with kids, as per this propaganda piece, IF they average 30 miles a day – that’s 40 days non-stop. Little Jose has a blister, then that family gets left behind. Assume every family gets a blister making 30 miles a day, and there is a long string of people walking, trying to catch up. And what about all the grandparents? Seriously?
They are poor – so where do they get food? Why aren’t they packing any food or tents or even a bedroll? In the pictures, they have the clothes on their back, and nothing else.
This is narco central – do people think you walk narco territory unbothered just because you are not a gringo? Do people here even realize that the Mexicans don’t want these ‘immigrants’ either?
If they packed 40 days of food and water, FMTT but where is it? Because that’s a carload of food for each family. This amount of food is not possible to transport without assistance, and it costs more than a bus ticket does to cross the country in the first place.
This is crap. These guys are being paid to pull another stunt to distract from something somewhere, and are being driven or taking the bus, and probably staying in motels and eating McDonalds or even better than that on some NGO dime.. I backpacked the length of the Rockies when I was young, and that required me to make food stops and I was lucky to make 15 miles a day when I was 22.
INSERT BOVINE EXCREMENT METER HERE, PEGGED OUT
I read somewhere that many of the Mexican towns were busing them to the next town – just to get rid of them. Probably feeding them too – to keep them from rioting. They’re headed towards the train that runs up to Texas – their plan, such as it is, is to climb on the roof and ride the rest of the way to the border and then hope that the US welcomes them with open arms. Why don’t we welcome them with razor wire until we can get the wall built?
Mow ’em down. Let them be a lesson to anyone else trying to come in.
Was hoping to find information about someone organizing a Welcome party at the border…..I’m a 62 year old woman and I’d be happy to be part of a Meet and Greet. American patriots need to stand up and be counted, make a noise! I will continue to watch to see if anyone else is willing to spend their time and resources to fight for our country and it’s future.
