Migrant camps overflow as Mexico cracks down after Trump threats
Delphine Schrank

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador promised more humane treatment for Central American migrants when he took office in December. His left-leaning government issued thousands of year-long humanitarian visas in January, giving migrants legal access to jobs and the right to travel to the United States.

However, caught off guard by a surge in arrivals, Lopez Obrador’s administration is resorting to old tactics based on tough law enforcement.

Mexico has halted the liberal visa policy and ramped up detentions of migrants heading north, government data shows, following criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump of a jump in the number of Central American asylum seekers reaching the U.S. border in February.

Put troops along the border.

A soldier every few yards apart if that's what it takes.

FORCE the invaders back into Mexico.

Make Mexico suffer (the more suffering there, the better, as far as I'm concerned).

Maybe then they'll think about doing something to keep the invaders south of their own border.

A soldier every 3 yards would be over a million soldiers.  It would be approximately everyone in the entire military.

Then do it.
Do whatever it takes.
