This is cruel:
Migrants at the Southern Border will not be allowed into the United States until their claims are individually approved in court. We only will allow those who come into our Country legally. Other than that our very strong policy is Catch and Detain. No “Releasing” into the U.S…

….All will stay in Mexico. If for any reason it becomes necessary, we will CLOSE our Southern Border. There is no way that the United States will, after decades of abuse, put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore!

Everyone was led to believe these caravans were going to stop coming for a few hours. President Trump chimed in just an hour ago to take credit for the deal:
Mexico is now saying there ISN’T a deal to keep the caravans in Mexico:
“MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s incoming government denied a report Saturday that it plans to allow asylum-seekers to wait in the country while their claims move through U.S. immigration courts, a deal the Trump administration has been pursuing for months.
“There is no agreement of any sort between the incoming Mexican government and the U.S. government,” future Interior Minister Olga Sanchez said in a statement.
Hours earlier, The Washington Post quoted her as saying that the incoming administration of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had agreed to allow migrants to stay in Mexico as a “short-term solution” while the U.S. considered their applications for asylum. Lopez Obrador will take office on Dec. 1.
The statement shared with The Associated Press said the future government’s principal concern related to the migrants is their well-being while in Mexico. …”
WTF?
It’s almost like Mexico wanted to make a fool out of President Trump.
Mexico has been using the US as a safety valve for decades. Without the remittances from the illegals here, Mexico would be even more of a basket case than it is. Why would the US Chamber of Commerce or the Dems will so easily give up on depressing workers’ wages for higher profits, or illegal votes that ensure money and power? The cartels that really run Mexico don’t give a damn if the US gets more problems, either. The regular Mexican doesn’t want the caravan in their country, but since when do peasants’ opinions matter?
Excellent comment, Monsieur Lamoureux!
Merci, Junius!
@R Lamuoreaux: At least 20% of Mexico resides in Los Estados Unidos. Feels a bit like we are being colonized, eh?
The mexican’ts want to believe the Reconquista is part of la raza’s mighty plan, Spahn. But your aptly-named “colonization” is just the natural effect of turd worlders being allowed to invade by the ruling class. The elites want a low-IQ, lower-paid, and easier-controlled peasantry, so the shitholes are allowed to flush their excess waste over our borders.
What Trump is trying to do, is the same thing our conservatives did in Australia. They called it the Pacific Solution. They couldn’t fight the “refugees” in the court system, so they paid black controlled islands to host the refugees. The conservatives built camps and paid bribes to these black countries, to keep the refugees there for years.
While the conservatives were bragging about how hard core nationalistic they were (to ward off threats from more genuine nationalist parties), they brought in legally, 10 times as many non-whites, including savages from the Middle East.
Australia has just had another Middle Eastern terrorist attack a week ago. Thanks conservatism!
They have similar problems in Russia with immigration. Putin is not nationalistic icon as you many might think…. They set up detention center in Siberia. Last winter, there were reports of riots in Siberia. they were rioting to GET BACK HOME. I think, spending few months in country where is -25 change their attitude.
So you can do the same. Set up immigration camp in desert or in Aljaska. It will deter many of the asylum seekers.
The only “deal” Mexicans will agree to his having all of the “asylum seekers” forced out of their country and into what was once ours.
It’s not hard to make a fool look like a fool – what makes it worse is that a Shithole Country is doing it.
Oh, I think Trump had a deal and the Mexican people, who aren’t as afraid of being called racist as White Americans obviously are had a shit fit and made it clear that the incoming government wouldn’t last the year if they stuck to the deal. They want the Central Americans gone like yesterday and they aren’t shy to say so.
Trump needs to pull a more draconian version of Victor Orban’s plan. Militarize ICE and set up very austere, fenced off camps just inside the border. Make sure to do as little as possible. No amenities whatsoever. Take DNA tests with those that have children and separate the children until the DNA tests determine the adult who has them is actually a parent. Then process these people back to their shitholes ASAP.
