The largest migrant caravan in a year, estimated to include some 7,000 people, is heading toward the US — and its leader claims President Biden has “dropped the ball” on immigration and allowed Latin American countries to “gang up” on his administration.

This latest caravan, comprising migrants from Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Venezuela, left southern Mexico on Monday, bound for the US border.

Officials in the Mexican state of Chiapas said some 3,500 people set off on foot from the city of Tapachula near the Guatemalan border — but one of the caravan’s organizers, Irineo Mujica, claimed there were around 5,000 in the initial group, and that that number had since swelled to more than 7,000.

Here is the organizer. Even he admits Joe Biden has "lost the ball." He says he's never seen it worse and that he is stunned that Biden is allowing this to happen. Listen to the whole interview.

Ah, right on cue.

The election season caravan.

It wouldn’t be an election season without one! How much do you think the GOP pays people to do this, right on time, every election year?

The wire is obviously pulled aside. You are willfully blind.

It’s quite rich that someone who denies the border disaster is even happening would call others “willfully blind.”

DP. Again, you are denying that there is a caravan of people headed to the US (yet again)? Even though the WaPo et al are reporting on it? Please provide your sources to back up your idiotic claims.

Other than right to life/abortion issue is anyone else approaching the next presidential election as a single issue voter ?

If other than right to life/abortion, what is that issue ?

Biden has dedicated more money to border control.
He has authorized more drones and other equipment as requested from DHS.
He has more drug recovery than Trump.
He has more human interdictions than Trump.
He has more deportations than Trump.
He has invested more in Central America to address the root issues of people wanting to emigrate.

So to answer your question, you should be voting Democrat.

Uh, no.

Democrats have all 3 branches of government for the past 2 years…this problem got out of control with Biden in charge. So if so lot understand how having open borders and having millions of people cross over will be better by having Democrats staying in control?

Also throwing more money at the problem like more, judges, agents, surveillance won’t fix the issue if another 2million people cross the border next year. How many 100’s of billions of dollars do yo you want to spend on this? How many more crowded schools do you need that can’t get the kids in? How many more hotels in NY will be filled with migrants? Why is there suddenly billions of dollars available for this when we did not have billions of dollars to help our homeless, veterans, minority communities???????

Are you forgetting the Caravans during the Trump years? How short our memory is.

And...the Dems have offered an immigration reform bill that covers a lot of issues, but guess who votes against it? The GOP. Why? Because they want to keep people like you angry, rather than, you know, dealing with the problem.

Also, you say "uh, no" but the facts matter, the current Administration has recovered more drugs, indicted more people, deported more illegal people, etc than the Trump Administration did. Maybe research it a little before commenting next time.

Unfortunately your statistics degree sucks.

Let’s go with the drug issue…

So let’s say Trump was able to capture 20 percent of the drugs crossing the border and Biden was able to capture the same percentage.
Then let’s say under Trump, the illegals crossing the border in year 2000 were 500k and year 2022 were 1 million people.
The. You are capturing more drugs BECAUSE yo I have double the people crossing the border illegally!

The increased investment in South and Central America is not helping as number of crossing are doubled.

There are more interaction because you have double the people crossing illegally.

So quoting that you are collecting more drugs, deporting more people, etc. is not a good thing… it means you have MORE people coming here illegally hence the Increased numbers.

Why are you assuming it's the same %?

Still waiting for one of you dolts to tell us that there is not, in fact, a huge caravan headed our way. Again. But do go on instead about "BS and hysterics," you idiot gaslighters.

NEW: Border Patrol unknowingly released an African terrorism suspect into the U.S. after he was caught crossing illegally into AZ on 10/3. One week later, on 10/10, HSI notified ICE that he was wanted in Senegal for “terroristic activities”. ICE then arrested him in NYC on 10/17.

This means a wanted terror suspect was roaming freely in the US for two weeks after crossing the southern border illegally, and was released into the U.S. by Border Patrol, who had no idea about his background at the time.

You are a moron.

Republicans can barely organize their party to compete in a national election here.

And you think they somehow can organize 7k migrants from all over the world to start a caravan in southern Mexico?

Oh, I’m the meantime 6million illegals have entered the US under Biden’s policies. So those must have also been orchestrated by Republicans.

Damn, the fact you do not place any blame on Biden for this is pure insanity.

18 people on the terrorist watchlist crossed the border in September 2023.

Only 11 people on the terror watchlist crossed the border during Trumps 4 years in office

I am a social worker working in an emergency shelter in a right to shelter Northeastern state.

I agree that something has to be done about immigration. The over whelming volume is real. But the issue not all about the illegal border crossings. Many people arriving are eligible for temporary protective status (which was an immigration category created in 1990 under a R administration). So they are not here “illegally” and actually have the right to work. Unless we are debating changing that law, we should be focused on teaching these people English and getting them to work. There are plenty of industries where we have labor shortages.

Also, this is temporary permission to be in the US, so if we are afraid there are too many people here in this category (which bc the debate is all around illegal border crossings I don’t think the analysis has been done to evaluate this) let’s focus on what skills we can teach them, work with the governments in their countries of origin so we can send them home once their permission to be here ends to help make those countries more viable places to live.

Imagine if the aid we want to send to Ukraine and Israel was put to work creating a system to track those that we are letting into the US legally, help them develop a range of skills, and send them back to Haiti and south / Central America to deploy those skills there to rebuild their home countries?

The hyper fixation of “illegal” border crossings and terrorists in the country is not the issue I think we need to focus on.

I disagree with you. We have been sending money to these countries for a long time. Little has been done to fix the issues. And, right now, we have people coming from all over the world - not just countries south of our border - because word has gotten out that if you come through Mexico, you can get in.

Many of those with TPS did indeed enter illegally. Biden declared them TPS after the fact. Many are from Venezuela where they have pretty well organized crime networks and gangs - and the vetting this administration has done is anything but thorough. I wonder how many of those with TPP are members of these networks/gangs.

I will not vote for anyone who does not promise to work to secure our border and ensure that those here illegally - particularly those who have entered in the past 3 years - are deported. The US does not have the responsibility to provide food and housing or job training for people entering illegally when we have too many of our own citizens that need assistance.

30,000 children of illegal migrants entered schools in NYC in September. And the numbers are only growing. The cost to the taxpayer of education at public schools in NYC is $30,000 per child. So that’s almost $1 billion just there. For one year. Not accounting for language and special needs.
Eric Adams probably won’t be speaking so bluntly after the DOJ scared him this week as he was on his way to DC to ask Biden to help.
But this is what he said when the schools were being overwhelmed a few weeks ago: “Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. Now we’re getting people from all over the globe [who] have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.”
