BREAKING: Migrants defy police, break through fence at Guatemala-Mexico border (VIDEO)
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by NBCSANDIEGO.COM:
Waving Honduran flags and carrying umbrellas to protect against the sun, thousands of migrants massed along Guatemala’s muddy Suchiate River crossing into Mexico on Friday. Despite President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation, travelers demanded to be let in and tore down gates before rushing toward the border bridge.
“One way or another, we will pass,” the migrants chanted as they moved toward the bridge that connects the two countries as a disorganized crowd of women, men and children. They got as far as a closed metal gate where two military jeeps were parked and Guatemalan police in riot gear looked on silently.
The article goes on to state the following:
“We are not smugglers, we are immigrants!” the crowd shouted as they approached the yellow metal gate. Some climbed atop the gate and the U.S.-donated jeeps as they clamored to be allowed to pass.
Dozens of Mexican federal police officers were on the bridge, backed up by hundreds more officers deployed behind it, and Mexico’s ambassador to Guatemala said his country was enforcing what he called a policy of orderly entry in the face of the thousands trying to cross.

This has to be stopped! They have no right to enter any country illegally. Start using tear gas, force, whatever it takes. I am begging President Trump to do something.
