Mexico asks U.N. for help with migrant caravan

By Stephen Dinan


Mexico has asked the United Nations for assistance with the migrant caravan knocking on its border, saying international officials must help figure out who deserves asylum and who should be deported or refused entry.

Hundreds of Mexican police faced off Thursday across the Mexico-Guatemala border against the vanguard of the caravan, which has grown to some 4,000 people, mostly from Honduras. Some migrants reportedly made it to shelters in Mexico.

Mexican officials were desperately trying to block the migrants after President Trump threatened Thursday to cancel his proposed U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal as punishment for Mexico's failure to patrol its southern border.

He said another option would be to deploy the U.S. military.

I'm fine with the President using the military to stop the invasion of illegals into this country.

I can already hear the democrats crying over this. Anyway, the Trump administration will handle this will cause an outrage, when in reality it needs to be done. This, in my eyes, will be a huge test of the administration's immigration policies and enforcement. I'm nervously excited to see how this is handled.

If the President is successful in stopping the illegals, leftist heads will be exploding. The leftists depend on these illegals, not necessarily as voters, but to increase the number of representatives in the House and the EC. That's why they are dead set against having the citizenship question on the 2020 census.

Looking at the title of this thread one wonders if it should not be in "Jokes". Pray tell how the UN could help?
