On Wednesday, a 1,000-person caravan making its way north through Mexico while traveling to the United States decided to abandon its plan of reaching the U.S. after President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he was deploying the military to the Southern Border to increase border security. "We will wrap up our work in Mexico City," said Irineo Mujica, head of the migrant advocacy group Pueblo sin Fronteras, AFP reported. "We have support teams at the border if there are people who need assistance there, but they would have to travel on their own," Mujica said. "There are too many children -- 450 in all. There are lots of babies. Hopping the train, as we did in the past, would have been crazy." Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced on Wednesday that Trump is going to sign a proclamation today that will direct Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to work with states to deploy the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Mujica also told the AFP that he thinks that Trump "wanted the world to crush us, to erase our existence. But Mexico responded admirably and we thank the government for the way it handled this caravan." |

Trump wins? Well, maybe. Or the Mezcans/cartels/coyotes just disperse the caravan into small groups who still all show up to invade our border anyway and try to claim refugee status. But by doing so, they would try to rob Trump of his confrontational moment, try to pretend that there are no massive groups of people invading our southern border, etc.
"Caravan? We don't know nothin' about no steenking caravan, senor!"

They haven't changed their minds. They've only changed their methods and timing. They'll eventually get though anyway.

No, they haven't. They are still on their way, splintering up into smaller groups to make it easier to avoid being caught. $oro$ funded.

And with massive help on both sides of the border.

Mexico broke up the groups but gave them internal visas for Mexico. So they can go wherever they like for the next few months without getting deported from Mexico. Some people think they'll head straight for our border.
OTOH, they'll show up in smaller numbers at the border so they won't really be noticed much in the news.

Heh, you mean they actually listen to the garbage from our Marxist media that Trump is a megalomaniac genocidal killer and believe it? Trump should thank CNN for this. :-)
