“Ahead of the mid-term elections in the US, he tweeted dozens of times about the migrants alleging that "many gang members and some very bad people are mixed into the caravan heading to our southern border" and warning that "our military is waiting for you”.
“Emboldened by the incoming administration, three large migrant caravans, each estimated to be over 3,000 people, are scheduled to reach the United States border, possibly within the first few weeks of President-elect Biden’s first term. (USA Herald) “On Friday, two migrant caravans forced their way into Guatemala while the third will arrive on Saturday. The migrants refused to register and are planning to claim asylum in the United States. “The organization Pueblos Sin Fronteras or Cities without Borders called on the United States, Mexico, and Central-American governments to allow the migrant caravans to travel freely and seek asylum in the U.S.” “They are asking the incoming Biden administration to “honor its commitments.”

“President-elect Biden and his team’s response to this call for humanitarian aid was a cold, “Now is not the time to come to us.” This response was despite the constant open borders rhetoric and promise to undo as many of President Donald J. Trump’s policies as possible. This includes strong border protection and Migrant Protection Protocols (MMP).(USA Herald)Pueblos Sin Fronteras is almost as good as political bunk as the Joe Biden administration is:
“We recognize the importance of the incoming Government of the United States having shown a strong commitment to migrants and asylum seekers, which presents an opportunity for the governments of Mexico and Central America to develop policies and a migration management system that respect and promote the human rights of the population in mobility,” the group said. “We will advocate that the Biden government honors its commitments.” (USA Herald)
“When asked about the current MMP, which requires migrants to remain in Mexico while awaiting a hearing, the team insisted that Biden will be putting a stop to this policy while offering amnesty to 11 million undocumented immigrants. This plan was recently announced but had little explanation in regards to steps forward. “When pushed, reporters were told these changes will take time.”Unfortunately, that the caravan migrants are being used as political pawns by one president whose main goal in life is getting even with the America First president who preceded him, don’t care. They are rushing the border, some even wearing pro-Biden T-shirts. And the response from Republicans? As usual: only feeble words but no action. Meanwhile, call the 46th president of a no- longer-sovereign USA, ‘The Caravan President’ who is willing to give his own country away.
