Did you know that Latin America, source of a current migrant caravan is home to 38% of world homicides, just 8% population?

A fourth caravan has set out for the United States from El Salvador. Central American cities are emptying out. At least 150 Salvadorans have set off from their impoverished Central American country in a U.S.-bound caravan, according to Daily Mail. Guarded by police officers, the men, women, and children of the gathering caravan marched on Sunday through San Salvador’s streets to Guatemala-bound buses, loaded with heavy backpacks, and water to set off on a journey of 2,700-miles. This has been going on for years, only in smaller groups. Many of the migrants are claiming to come for jobs, but some are coming to commit crimes, like the flag-waving guys wearing masks (picture).

Reuters made a point of the high crime rates in these Central American cities. They say that is why most are leaving. Many are farmers but if you look at the men in the photo above, they don’t look like farmers. The Reuters photo belies the facts of the article.

El Salvador and Honduras compete for the highest homicide rates in the world, according to official figures. Both countries rank among the poorest in the Americas, Reuters reported. The people say they are fleeing the gangs like MS-13, but we have those gangs here now.

Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and other U.S. cities are rife with crime and high murder rates. If we keep letting unvetted aliens enter illegally, it will only get worse.

This is also going to place a heavy burden on Mexico. Many Mexicans have had enough.

Mexican Protesters (Tijuana) Waving Mexican Flags Scream at Caravan Illegal Invaders: “Donald Trump (USA) Was Right! This Is an Invasion”

No, this is just more Soros Actors. He's paying "both sides" to create a humanitarian condition that will "force" USA to take women and children (if there indeed are any among the military-age males) that are destitute and starving, having been exploited by the people smugglers the whole way.

Deutsche Welle’s Spanish language channel, DW Español, traveled to Tijuana in order to interview some of the migrants living in the camps. A reporter asked one of the migrants how the living conditions were in the camp.

The Honduran woman interviewed by the reporter called the free meals given to her ‘pig food.’

“The food that they’re handing out here is terrible. Refried beans? As if they were feeding the pigs. If we don’t eat this, we will die of hunger,” the hungry Honduran migrant said.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped all vehicular traffic from Mexico into California via the San Ysidro port in order to bulk up vital infrastructure and security measures to properly handle the incoming migrants.

The shut down turned out to be temporary, though. "After the materials are in position, CBP will resume processing northbound vehicle traffic in select lanes at the border crossing," the agency noted. The port was reopened later in the day on Monday.

CBP and the Department of Defense "appropriately responded by blocking the lanes, deploying additional personnel and seeking assistance from other law enforcement and federal assets. #CBP has reopened lanes for legitimate trade and travel. I want to thank them for their swift actions," said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Twitter. "Unfortunately, some members of the caravan are purposely causing disruptions at our border ports of entry. There is a legal and illegal way to enter the US. We have deployed additional forces to protect our border. We will enforce all our laws," she added in a subsequent tweet.

TheCBP agency later elaborated on the matter, noting that "temporary impediment measures," such as "concertina wire or Jersey barriers," would be installed. "U.S. Customs and Border Protection continues to prepare for the potential arrival of thousands of people migrating in a caravan to the United States through the Southwest border," said an email from a CBP spokesperson, according to the Examiner. "Part of those preparations include installation of temporary impediment measures at and between the Ports of Entry, such as concertina wire or Jersey barriers."

Mexican journalist Alex Backman has released a stunning expose on the caravan from Central America. He says the migrants are robbing and stealing in Mexico. They carjack cars containing just one occupant. There are even accounts of rapes. Many of the migrants will not let people film them. If they see someone filming them through a car window, they stop the car and demand the phone. Backman suspects the reason they don’t want to be filmed is because they have criminal histories.

He said the Mexican president hasn’t done anything to stop it. The Mexican government is instead providing them with necessities including medical aid.

Backman says the rocks being thrown by caravan members are not just little rocks, but large ones that can kill people. Mexican law enforcement vehicles have iron mesh over all of their windows due to the rock throwing. Unfortunately, law enforcement is armed with guns that are little more than paint guns.

At least three journalists were injured in fistfights and other violence.

The caravan members are waiting at the border to apply for asylum. But they don’t qualify for asylum under international law. There’s no war going on in Honduras.

There are more caravans coming from three other countries; Brazil, Columbia and Venezuela. Officials in Baja California say there are currently 9,000 migrants moving through Mexico in caravans.

Most Americans who are homicide victims are killed by other Americans, courtesy of your constitutional right to bear arms. That's your culture. A migrant caravan won't make much difference to that.

The Department of Homeland Security is gathering intelligence from paid undercover informants inside the migrant caravan that is now reaching the California-Mexico border as well as monitoring the text messages of migrants, according to two DHS officials.

On Monday, DHS officials told reporters that their intelligence on Sunday night had indicated that a group of migrants wanted to run through the car lanes of a border crossing near San Diego. Customs and Border Protection shut down all northbound lanes of the crossing from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. as a result. However, the ambush was never attempted.

Tijuana officials have "arrested 34 caravan members for drug possession, public intoxication, disturbing the peace and resisting police, and they would be deported to their home countries," for failing to follow Mexico's laws.

The mayor of Tijuana is no stranger to massive migrant caravans, but this one, he says, is different. A Haitian caravan, which also arrived looking for political asylum in the United States and was turned away, consisted largely of refugees looking for work and more permanent homes. Those migrants came prepared with plans and paperwork, and when their asylum claims were rejected, accepted temporary work permits from Mexican officials and did their best to assimilate into Mexican society.

Tijuana's mayor says the Honduran migrants aren't as flexible and are determined to get into the United States even if they have to cross the border illegally. And while wait times to declare asylum can be long, many migrants who might have turned back were emboldened by a court ruling last week overturning a Trump administration directive denying most asylum requests.

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum has made a point of saying the city is not happy with the migrants who began arriving last week, and he compared the Central American group unfavorably with about 3,000 Haitians who ended up staying after their bid to reach the U.S. failed last year.

“The Haitians arrived with their papers, with a clear vision,” Gastelum said in an interview posted on the city’s Facebook page. They came “in an orderly way, they never asked us for food or shelter,” renting apartments and making their own food. He said the Haitians found jobs and “inserted themselves in the city’s economy” and had not been involved in any disturbances.

By contrast, Gastelum said, the caravan of Central Americans, “had arrived all of sudden, with a lot of people — not all ... but a lot — were aggressive and cocky.”

The Mexican government gave the Haitians temporary transit permits, and after they failed in attempts to enter the United States, many have since applied for Mexican residency. The majority in the Central American caravan have refused Mexico’s repeated offers of residency or asylum, and vowed to cross the border.

"The Haitians arrived with their papers, with a clear vision," Gastelum said in an interview, according to the AP. The Haitians rented apartments, made their own food, found jobs and “inserted themselves in the city’s economy," rarely running afoul of Tijuana law enforcement.

The news in Latin America this year has brought two reminders that Latin America's stringent gun controls have not stemmed the growing homicide problem in many parts of the region.

1. The first is that homicides reached new highs in Mexico this year , reaching record levels not seen since the country began keeping records twenty years ago.

2. Secondly, violent crime became a significant issue in this year's Brazil presidential race, with president-elect Jair Bolsonaro running on a platform of fighting crime, pledging to "use the army" if need be.

USA needs to get a handle on migration or it will be crushed like Europe.

Don’t worry, all the bad people stayed home on caravan day. To think otherwise is racist.

Celebrate diversity! Just stay in California.

MS-13 will be productive members of its society.

That imaginary migrant invasion that only exists for Trump to stoke fears is planning to reach 20-000 before using vehicular lanes.

Absolutely hilarious, they called their illegal entry "peaceful" because they plan for it to happen on a Sunday, and they won't use force (like they did on Mexico-Guatemala border)?
