Mexico blocks hundreds of migrants from crossing over the border span
Source: KUSI News
On Saturday, babies cried and tempers flared as hundreds of Mexican National Guardsmen blocked the path of thousands of migrants. Guatemalan authorities estimated 2,500 migrants were on the bridge over the Suchiate, or attempting to get onto the bridge.
As the crowd swelled, amid shoves, Mexican officials allowed several dozen migrants to enter the country in groups of 20, while a voice over a loudspeaker warned migrants against trying to slip into Mexico without passing through immigration filters.
Mexico again finds itself in the role of immigration enforcer as Central Americans desperate for a better life try to make their way north, while Mexicos biggest trade partner the United States insists that Mexico prevent those migrants from reaching the U.S. border.
Mexicos National Migration Institute said via Twitter on Saturday that it had reinforced multiple points along the countrys southern border to assure safe, orderly and regular immigration. It also said it was using drones to monitor the region.
Hundreds of guardsmen lined the river to prevent migrants from crossing into Mexico clandestinely. The voice on the loudspeaker warned, over and over, that those aiming to transit through Mexico may not be granted asylum in the U.S., even if they make it there.

(10,136 posts)Trumps administration is not going to let these large groups of immigrants into the USA, which means if Mexico lets them into Mexico then Mexico has to deal with the mass crisis when they are blocked at the USA border.
