Another migrant missile aimed at America left its launch pad in Honduras this morning, which means we’re in for another eight to nine weeks of tearful tales about the poor, huddled, but determined masses heading for the border with Mexico.
And we’re in for another eight to nine weeks of stories about the Big Fat Meanie in the White House.
But the Big Fat Meanie — that would be President Donald Trump — is not backing down, at least not yet. The partial shutdown of the federal government goes on, as Democrats refuse to pass a funding bill that gives the president what he wants — money for a border wall.
He continues his Twitter war with “Chuck and Nancy” — House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority chief Schumer — and says the polling data show that Americans are on his side.
They want the border defended. He agrees. Active-duty troops, the Pentagon announced, will stay for at least another eight months.
Caravan Departs
In Honduras, they apparently haven’t gotten the message.
“Television footage on Monday showed several hundred people in the violent city of San Pedro Sula huddled together and waving Honduran flags as they began a journey that will likely take weeks or even months to reach the U.S.-Mexico border,” Reuters reported Tuesday morning.
About 700 Hondurans started the march north, not for asylum but instead to find a job. “I’m determined to find a good job in the United States,” 24-year-old caravan member Darwin Perez told Reuters. “It’s a difficult road ahead but I hope President Trump’s heart might soften, and that he won’t be so hard and will let us enter.”
And, Reuters reported, “other migrants, some traveling with spouses and children, echoed Perez’s dream to find work in the United States.”
They can dream all they want. Should they make it as far as Tijuana, they have a long wait in line. About 2,500 illegal aliens from the last border strike force remain there, hoping they can get across the border and pursue phony asylum claims.
