It looks like President Trump’s tweets have had an effect on Mexico. Whether or not you believe that our southern neighbor will follow through, at least they realize they have a PR problem, and potentially face some serious consequences for aiding and abetting violations of our border.  Joshua Partlow and David Agren, reporting in the Washington Bezos Post, totally buy into the Mexican PR effort:

The Mexican government on Monday evening moved to break up the caravan of migrants moving through southern Mexico, with immigration officials registering the travelers and suggesting some could receive humanitarian visas while others would have to leave Mexico.

The caravan, estimated at more than 1,000 migrants, many from Central America, has gained increasing visibility because of tweets by President Trump that have criticized Mexico for not doing more to stop the flow of migrants to the southern border of the United States.

The bulk of the migrant group — part of an annual caravan intended to raise awareness about the plight of people making the dangerous trek across Mexico toward the United States — is currently in the town of Matias Romero Avendano in the southern state of Oaxaca. A portion of the group rode by train to the neighboring state of Veracruz, according to caravan organizers, local officials and others, but it is unclear if that group has so far dispersed.

Skepticism toward Mexico is the rule of the day on this story. Buzzfeed, with a reporter embedded in the caravan, is less credulous than the WaBezPo:

Mexico’s National Institute of Immigration (INM) said late Monday that it plans by Wednesday to disband a caravan of hundreds of Central American migrants that has been traveling through Mexico for nine days.

Caravan organizers said, however, they expect at least some of the migrants to continue north to the US border. They estimate that most of them will seek asylum or some type of protection in Mexico or the US.

I think that it is fair to conclude that the group organizing and sponsoring this caravan, Pueblo Sin Fronteras (“town without borders”) has provoked a backlash.

Too Soon to let our guard down:



They’re probably thinking of breaking them into smaller groups so they’re more difficult to keep track of.

But then they'll lose the symbolic effect, which is what this farce is all about - challenging the will of the US government.

"Mañana we will disband the caravan."

That would be my guess too.

A win for everyone.  Trump claims victory.  Mexico claims victory.  Invaders get victory.

Well, except for the American people.
