Among the endless challenges Joe Biden will face as America’s 46th president is the large migrant caravan heading north towards our southern border.
As many as 9,000 Honduran migrants have crossed into Guatemala in recent days. They also plan to walk all the way to the United States. The image above, captured on Sunday, shows a horde of migrants clashing with Guatemalan law enforcement. Officers responded to the group with tear gas after the migrants attacked them with rocks and other projectiles.
Pueblos Sin Fronteras (People Without Borders) is an immigration rights group that organizes migrant caravans in Central America.
It has called on the Biden Administration to “honor its commitments” to immigrants and asylum seekers.
“We recognize the importance of the incoming Government of the United States having shown a strong commitment to migrants and asylum seekers, which presents an opportunity for the governments of Mexico and Central America to develop policies and a migration management that respect and promote the human rights of the population in mobility,” said the group.
President Joe Biden has already announced plans to end construction of the Border Wall. He also plans to grant amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens, offer DACA recipients a pathway to citizenship, reverse Trump’s travel ban, overturn the Migrant Protection Protocols, and revoke Trump’s decision to exclude non-citizens from the census. But even he has admitted that things won’t change overnight.
The Mexican government claims it will not allow “illegal entry” to its country. In fact, it has already deployed 500 immigration officers to patrol its border with Guatemala. “We are making proposals to seek dialogue with the migrants,” said Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. “They should be taken care of so they do not enter any country by force.”
What is happening here is that migrants are surging towards the United States because they believe the Biden Administration will let them in. This influx, if allowed, is also guaranteed to exacerbate the pandemic.
“During the presidential debate, Joe Biden promised mass amnesty. The rest of the world noticed,” tweeted Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR). He also said, “He’s unveiling his draft immigration bill this week, and it’s what you’d expect from the party of open borders: Total amnesty, no regard for the health or security of Americans, and zero enforcement.”

Good, I hope they all stay in California.
Are you serious? We can’t even take care of our own
Wouldn’t it be nice if the demonrats cared as much for Americans who pay their salaries. We are struggling right now and we are having a hard time supporting our families and the demonrats want to allow a whole bunch of illegals in that we will have to support when we can hardly able to take care of our own. The demonrats don’t care about Americans they just want to destroy our country. Anyone who votes for a demonrat are insane. Remember that when your standing in a bread line because demonrats care more about illegals than they do Americans
Absolutely true and it is a slap in the face to the millions of us who obeyed this Country’s laws and went through the long and often expensive process to come to the US as this was the right way to immigrate here
So true Teresa!
Did Trump do that to you? Did he rip out your heart and replace it with a stone? We claim to be the richest and most powerful country in the world but we cant spare a dime to help the less fortunate around the world. Maybe we should stop telling how rich we are when we can barely feed ourselves. The salvation army and red cross aren’t rich institutions but you never hear them complain about only having enough to take care of their own, and that’s because Christianity is their motto. Christ was an immigrant, a refugee and he was not rich but gave so much to the world that after 2, years he is still known as the richest person, rich in love something you are flat broke in having. Yes you are an American and you better hope that you never experience what many countries around the world do because you wont survive being a member of the less fortunate..
We are not the worlds bread basket. We must take care of our own first.
This is a good example of what this regime for a non thinking corruption that is destroying our lives in our country! The. Dnc from the governor s to the senators are in the same place and we the people! Are the first to know that the Democratic party is not. Working for you and yours a real Democratic / would not endorsed niether !
Unskilled, uneducated, no social distance will they bring more virus into our country?? We are short of vaccine for Americans . how many maids, yard men can we use? Who is going to care for them..Biden has a empty house in Delaware where some can stay also in Harrris house. Oh yes what charity is Biden going to donate his salary?????
These immigrants do much of the manual work that we all depend on and that US citizens are not interested in doing. They work in child care, food supply, construction, etc. Maybe Teresa can inform us in which of these fields she and her family members are willing to work for minimal pay.
I am grateful.
It’s not only that we CITIZENS will have to support them. They will also take jobs away from us. Plus we will have to educate their children, feed the whole bunch clothe them house them. All on welfare. Plus the dems want them to receive social security and medicare benefits. And how many of these CRIMINALS (yes they are criminals because it is a crime to sneak into another country). All the dems want is to destroy the United States. Biden’s programs include eliminate jobs, stop energy independence, remove safety by defunding the police and deleting the second amendment. Congratulations all you liberals. You got what you wanted, the destruction of America.
Thank you for making me realize I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time. I will exit this site and I know good riddance right? Well its mutual because my mom once told me that if I cant convince my friend that I am a male after showing him my penis then I must find another friend. I enjoy listening to other people views I learn a lot from them but there’s nothing to learn here except hate and selfishness. Thanks for making my decision easy for me.
Good riddance
Are you going down there to take 20 maybe 30 to come to your house?
What a joke. I hope whoever voted for this ahole is happy watching America being destroyed by immigrants. Hope it affects you in a way unimaginable. Who ever did vote for these aholes deserve it.
Trump was great for this country but now it is OVER
Great job dems
it seems like the word for BIDEN IS IMPEACHMENT
I believe everything that RJ said, we do not have enough jobs now for people who work and pay taxes, he makes these plans but doesn’t tell the people how he will make it happen.
If Joe & the Democrats are so intent on letting 11M illegals have citizenship, they should have the illegals move in with the Democrats where they can house & feed them. I am opposed to allowing them to use my tax dollars for them when we have so many homeless, veterans, & needy persons already in the US, who should be a priority.
Two illegal members control the nation . How do we reverse this problem and clean Congress of Socialists and enemy’s of the nation. With this action he has declared get here and you will be a citizen. They do not care about the people that are citizens here give everything to foreign countries how about us? This is Socialism/Communism at work. We must reverse this trend now.
Well, since all the bleeding hearts out there what to care and comfort to the ”lost humanity’ looking for kindness, why don’t they rent a bus or two, go down wherever, stuff the bus with the human they can . . . . and take them back to their home to give the ‘lost’ all the food, care, and whatever to support them.
And yes, I have found myself in need, but I swallowed my ‘pride’, reached out to helping hands, and pulled my self up.
As Mark Twain said, “It’s easier to fool the people, than to convince them that they have been fooled”
This has nothing to do with right or wrong. It has nothing to do with kindness for others. Its simply about preserving power and the destruction of conservative values. Out of touch billionaires making policies that will only bring down the standard of living for American citizens. The tax burden is strangling honest hard working Americans to the point of real anger and for those living on the southern border hatred. Hatred for not only the policy makers but those immigrants who only want a better life. We have a system in place that allows for one million legal migrants every single year. When we finally reach the tipping point in which people in America that live off the taxpayers hard work exceed the working taxpayers we will have no option but to fight back. Reasonable people who want nothing more than to raise their children in safe and sustainable place are being pushed to their limits. When 75 million people feel their country does not represent them what more can you expect?
What happens when you add 11 million uneducated non English speaking migrants that have no work and no place to live as another burden on an already over taxed workforce? We all lose. I see a whole lot of unnecessary suffering. Yes the world has many who we’d like to help but the fact is our resources are limited and the burden falls on each and every one of us with one exception. The power hungry fools who only care about their power and money. These immigrants won’t be living in Pelosi’s Biden’s or Harris’s neighborhoods. Nope. They’re coming to yours.
It will be worse for the people along the border the demonrats do not even think of the crime rates the immigrants bring with them. We live here barely making our bills and sometimes going with out eating because since we work we do not get food stamps but these immigrants will receive everything with our tax dollars while americans starve to death. They come here get pregnant and have one child after the other because they get food stamps and money for each of these children meanwhile hard working americans eat sometimes only once a day because it is all we can afford.
They want to open borders . let more leaches and criminals in here our country to further lower SS,medicare,food stamp help. Restate laws that protected America and the people that built and maintained what the country stood for.
