BTW, why hasn't Trump been talking about this recently?

Why should you? If these migrants stay in Mexico and Mexico can’t accommodate them, that’s better for us, so wild Washington is monitoring the situation if these people can stay in Mexico as many as possible that helps us, so he doesn’t need to comment on it. The threat at three in the military on the border and to detain them with the help of the border patrol and no catch and release, this is a great thing. It helps the US that helps migraines when it’s good for Mexico, they have the money and resources in it’s about time that they do something, so I applied them.

Many say they are fleeing rampant poverty, gang violence and political instability primarily in the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
There are many reasons why migrants are fleeing from these countries. In order to bring some context to the discussion, to veer away from the demonisation that the migrants are invaders/terrorists/criminals and so on, it would be illuminating if some of their stories could be heard. And what kind of circumstances prevail in their countries.

This is a caravan of hope and courage.

Do you mean "Mexican city of Guadalajara?"

You're kidding right? The US will not have to expend resources if they stay in Mexico. Do the math. As I've said before, until I see the current issues with homelessness and housing resolved for US citizens on our own soil (which I not only see, but experience myself on a daily basis)... I know there is absolutely no responsibility for the US to take care of migrants coming here through illegitimate means. The responsibility belongs to the leaders and governments of their own countries, and they have to be held accountable for the situation. This is the worst game of pass the buck I've ever seen.

It might be a caravan of hope and courage, but what will happen if they reach the US?
1) What kind of hope will the US give the caravan group?
2) How is that fair to those who go through the legal process of apply for visas and permission to come to the US?
3) Will that say that the US will let people "cut in line" as this group to get into the US ahead of those mentioned in #2.
My parents came to the US legally and had to wait for some time at Tijuana before their papers were in order. The other thing I hear is that Mexico has been offering help to this group.

I see what you mean. It's not better for Mexico, but in a way it's giving Mexicans an understanding of what has been happening to the US for quite a long time. As to whether or not the country and people learn from this is another story. The US has been dealing with nearly half a million illegitimate immigrants PER YEAR for the past few decades.
If Mexican quality of living standards become better on par with nations like Canada, EU, US (which is decaying under Chump sad to say), etc, the nation is going to learn EXACTLY what the US has been going through. Everyone in South America will be trying to crash through the Mexican border.
