Large Migrant Caravan Headed for U.S. Southern Border

Karen Townsend at Hot Air wrote that a large group of migrants from Central America, Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela are traveling on foot from Mexico toward the U.S. southern border. Frustrated by their inability to obtain humanitarian visas, they are likely to join the growing number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. Mexican authorities have been slow to respond. These migrants are not guaranteed asylum but will be allowed to file claims and wait in the U.S.

More from Townsend:

This migrant march to the U.S.-Mexico border is among the largest since June 2022. In 2018 and 2019, migrant caravans drew a lot of attention but the sad truth is that now it is not uncommon for 10,000 migrants to show up at the U.S. border on any given day. A march of either 3,500 or 5,000 illegal immigrants invading the United States is not so newsworthy to most people. In other words, mass migration by illegal immigrants is becoming normalized. The shock factor has worn off and the news reports seem like just another day in Biden’s America.

The women and children are slowing the caravan down.

The migrant caravan may slow a bit as tropical storm Pilar has formed off Central America in the Pacific. It threatens to dump heavy rain on the region.

In an often contemptuous Senate hearing Tuesday, DHS Secretary Mayorkas admitted for the first time that there were over 600,000 known gotaways at the southern border in FY 2023. During questioning by Senator Marshall (R-KS), Mayorkas admitted he has no idea how many of those gotaways may be on the terror watch list. Gotaways run from law enforcement at the border instead of turning themselves in so they are not vetted at all.

The Biden border crisis is a humanitarian crisis and a national security crisis. I shudder to think what has to happen before Biden and his administration admit that the border is open and unsustainably chaotic.
