TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - The Latest on a caravan of Central Americans seeking asylum in the United States (all times local):
5 p.m.

U.S. authorities say asylum-seekers in a caravan of Central Americans may have to wait in Mexico if the nation's busiest border crossing in San Diego reaches capacity.

Pete Flores, U.S. Customs and Border Protection's San Diego field office director, said waiting time will depend on circumstances at the San Ysidro border crossing. He has said the port can hold about 300 people in temporary cells.

About 400 people, many traveling as families, have arrived in the Mexican border city Tijuana in a monthlong caravan from southern Mexico. Many plan to seek asylum at the San Diego crossing on Sunday.

The Border Patrol says "several groups" in the caravan have entered the country illegally since Friday by climbing a dilapidated metal fence nearby.

It declined to say how many people.

Get a crew of troops down there immediately, armed, locked and loaded. This is our country, this is our border, we have every right under the law to defend it and keep any and every illegal alien out of our country. EVERY RIGHT UNDER THE LAW, UNDER THE MOON, UNDER THE SUN. YOU KEEP THEM OUT. If our stupid courts wants to violate the Constitution and issue an order opposing such action, then let them show themselves as the idiot traitors they are. JUST DO IT, JUST DEFEND OUR COUNTRY. PERIOD.

Hope they didn't catch & release them as usual. Why is there a dilapidated metal fence w/o a guard to stop entry? This is an announced border crash event in the news for weeks.

Wait for what in mexico - to enter US? They are supposed to seek asylum in the 1st country entered - mexico. Not valid for asylum seek in the US - it is their 2nd or maybe more country of entry. This nonsense has to stop. These people coming in for years are nothing but trouble and will takeover America - it maybe to late now unless all illegals and their kids GET OUTTA HERE! No papers, no stay!

Border Patrol: Central American asylum-seekers attempted to cross border illegally

SAN YSIDRO (KUSI) — Some of the Central American asylum-seekers traveling with a migrant caravan have attempted to illegally enter the United States near San Ysidro in the last 24 hours, federal authorities said Saturday.

The migrants tried Friday and Saturday to climb over the border fence on either side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, Customs and Border Protection Chief Patrol Agent Rodney S. Scott said. Young children — and in one case, a pregnant woman — were detected among people trying to enter the U.S. through “a dark, treacherous canyon that is notorious for human and drug smuggling,”
he said.

No estimate was given for how many people from the caravan attempted to cross the border illegally this time, but about 350 people planned to try to enter the country at the San Ysidro Port of Entry Sunday, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

The caravan has been making national headlines for the past month after catching the attention of President Donald Trump. It first began with about 1,000 people March 25 in the Mexican city of Tapachula, near the Guatemala border, drawing comments from Trump as evidence of what he and his aides portrayed as a significant threat, the Post reported.
Scott said it was “unconscionable” that children were being smuggled into the country in what he referred to as dangerous conditions.

In the statement, he warned the remaining caravan members to follow the law.

“If anyone has encouraged you to illegally enter the United States, or make any false statements to U.S. government officials, they are giving you bad advice and they are placing you and your family at risk,” he said. “We are a very welcoming country but just like your own house, we expect everyone to enter through our front door and answer questions honestly.

On a national level that front door is the Ports of Entry. If you enter the United States at any place other than a Port of Entry it is a crime.”

Sure, some penalty - 100,000 catch & released in the last year! Come back to a court date in 3yrs- maybe, maybe not, behind the over 300,00 waiting for a court date. Have a few anchor babies while your waiting on our dime too - $10,000 just for the birth. Take a job too. Is this really proper that our gov't is doing this? How long will this go on?

Some from Central American caravan have entered U.S. illegally, feds say

Some number of people associated with the Central American migrant caravan, which is stopped in Tijuana, have crossed into the United States illegally in the past 24 hours, federal officials said Saturday.

A pregnant woman and some children as young as 4 were detected entering the U.S. through a canyon that authorities described, in a statement, as dark, treacherous and “notorious for human and drug smuggling.”

They were said to have climbed over a dilapidated scrap metal border fence on either side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

The statement was issued Saturday afternoon by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

No information was given on the number of people caught entering the U.S. illegally or what became of them.

It also was not clear if the statement’s phrase “people associated with” the caravan meant people who actually had taken part in the bus trek from Central America, through Mexico, to seek asylum in the U.S.

Members of the caravan are expected to ask for asylum on Sunday. Caravan members interested in requesting asylum spent Friday and Saturday at legal orientations to understand their rights and what to expect after they enter the U.S. port of entry.

“Individuals of the ‘caravan’ seeking asylum or other similar claims should seek protections in the first safe country they enter, including Mexico,” Chief Patrol Agent Rodney Scott said in the statement.

“To anyone that is associated with this caravan, think before you act,” Scott continued. “If anyone has encouraged you to illegally enter the United States, or make any false statements to U.S. government officials, they are giving you bad advice and they are placing you and your family at risk.”

Pete Flores, the Customs and Border Protection director of field operations, said in the statement that pedestrians at the San Ysidro Port of Entry will be divided into two lines — those with, and without, travel documents for legal entry.

If the facility becomes overcrowded with those who have no entry documents, they may need to wait in Mexico, Flores said.

“All travelers will be processed in accordance with appropriate detention and removal enforcement protocols,” Flores said.

Well, they SHOULD seek protections from the 1st safe country but they didn't & what are you gong to do @ that Agent Scott? Oh, of course, let them in. SHOULD be NO deal to allow entrance here.
Simplify this whole mess -NO PAPERS, NO ENTRY - APPLY FROM HOME LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS TO. Might consider STOP HAVING KIDS TOO in your extremely "fearful" situations.

CATCH THEM AND DEPORT WITHIN 24 HOURS

NO PREGNANT ONES, NO CHILDREN AND NO MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS ON OUR SOIL!

NO FREE STUFF, NO MEDICAL CARE AND NO DAMN DETENTION!

GET THEM IMMEDIATELY OUT OF HERE!

MEXICO OFFERED THEM ASYLUM, MEXICO GAVE THEM THE 20 DAY PASSES TO VISIT MEXICO...NOW BOOT THEM OUT!

WE GIVE THEIR COUNTRY BILLIONS FOR DECADES...SENT THEM BACK!

So none of the illegal alien caravan has been repelled as Trump told DHS to do in a Tweet???

Right after Trump's Tweet, Jeff Sessions announced he was sending a team of prosecutors and judges down there to process and prosecute them instead.

This is despicable and insulting. Cameras are rolling, hundreds of foreign citizens at the border, coached and carrying out their drama. Bullhorns blaring their propaganda. Si Se Peude (Yes, We Can) being shouted. Where are the shouts and actions back from our United States government saying, "No, You Can't." Some foreign citizens are sitting on top of the fence. Border Patrol is located about 50 yards away from the Tijuana, Mexico side per FOX News on the ground.

They are coming, many will get asylum. Why should any get entry? What is wrong with our government? These people get to do what they want and illegally enter.

It's disgusting. I wish our country had a 911 number to call. All we get are DOJ lawyers waiting to protect their rights at our expense, troops with their hands tied behind their backs, a DHS afraid to cross up DOJ and a President caught in the cross-hairs and mad as hell no one is following his orders and instead following the rule of law to break the law.

It's insanity.

If Trump allows this to continue one more minute MORE will come!

They think they can just mouth off, give us the finger, and charge OUR borders!



THIS IS WAR! TURN THEM ALL BACK.

NO MORE SOB STORIES, THEY CANNOT BE VETTED, THEY HAVE DISEASES AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS WE DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR!

WE DO NOT WANT THEIR PREGNANT WOMEN, THEIR MEN OR THEIR CHILDREN!

THIS IS NOT FAIR TO U.S. CITIZENS...IT IS NOT RIGHT TO FORCE US TO PAY THEIR WAY!

GET OUT AND GET IN LINE LIKE THE 2 BILLION PEOPLE ON THE PLANET "DREAMING" OF COMING HERE!!!!

THIS IS INFURATING!

PUBLIC CHARGE


ALLOW NONE OF THEM INTO OUR COUNTRY!

NOT ONE DIME OUT OF OUR WALLETS FOR THIS!!!

WE ALREADY GIVE THEM BILLIONS OF OUR MONEY, OUT OF OUR WALLETS...SEND THEM BACK!

Absolutely right, Beezer! It's maddening as hell to watch on Fox News, they were covering it quite a bit earlier. They've moved on now to a story on North Korea, but they'll be back to the border. We need to immediately repeal all asylum laws right now. No one today is eligible for asylum under our laws. So just repeal them all. Monday. Tomorrow. Voice vote in the House, and dump this disaster on the Senate. NO MORE ASYLUM, no more REFUGEES. Shut down this idiocy.

GET BARB WIRE ON TOP OF THAT FENCE NOW!

STOP THIS INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY...BOOT THEM ALL OUT.


REPORT EVERY EMPLOYER AND ILLEGAL ALIEN TO ICE...WE NEED AN ALL OUT CAMPAIGN WITH BILLBOARDS TO CONTACT ICE!

President Trump Pushes for More Foreign Guest Workers, H2-Bs, Migrant Farm Workers at Michigan Rally

In my opinion, we are a laughing stock with the videos and photos showing illegal aliens gathering at the border, some climbing and sitting atop a border wall fence, shouting and taunting us. . Shameful. Foreigners, criminals, gang members, drug cartels are challenging us and we are doing little to nothing to stop them. We are allowing many inside to join with the tens of millions of other illegal aliens destroying our nation and gaining power.

Our government's job is to protect and secure the nation. Embarrassing.

It is just terrible. Disgusting.
