Donald Trump is facing one major threat this election season.
It could hand Democrats control of Congress.
And now this crisis just took a horrible turn for the worse.
Migrant Caravan Marches Towards America
A roving mob of migrants formed in Honduras and began marching towards the United States.
It began 4,000 strong.
The mob has now swelled to over 7,000 migrants looking to flood into the United States.
Americans were horrified by the videos of migrants rampaging through Mexico and tossing police barricades aside as law enforcement stood down.
Donald Trump threatened severe consequences if the migrants did not turn around.
He tweeted:
Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Souther Border. People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the U.S. will turn them away. The courts are asking the U.S. to do things that are not doable!
But the mob of migrants pressed forward on their invasion march.
Migrants in the crowd taunted Trump.
Some chanted, ‘If you send us back, we will return!’ and ‘We are not criminals, we are workers!’
Donald Trump Responds To Threat Of Migrant Invasion
But unlike past Presidents, Trump will not sit idly by while illegal aliens storm across the border.
He threatened Central American countries with severe consequences if they did not stop the migrant mob.
However, these countries are used to all talk and no action politicians.
But Trump followed through on his threat.
Trump tweeted:
Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!
Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke out against the political motivations and violent history of the caravan’s organizers.
“We also are deeply concerned by the violence provoked by some members of the group, as well as the apparent political motivation of some organizers of the caravan,” he stated.
The Trump administration takes this threat seriously.
Donald Trump won the White House on the strength of his proposed immigration crackdown.
Democrats believe the migrant mob will embarrass Trump politically if he fails to stop it.
Trump is working to make sure that does not happen.
