Massive Migrant Caravan Marches Toward U.S. As Top Biden Officials Meet With Mexican President | Eastern North Carolina Now

    A migrant caravan of nearly 8,000 people is marching toward the U.S. southern border as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are set to meet with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico City on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing border crisis.

    The migrant caravan is made up of people from an estimated 24 different countries and began its trek toward the U.S. border on Saturday, marching through the Mexican state of Chiapas - on the border of Guatemala - as of Wednesday, NBC News reported. Most of the migrants in the caravan are from Central America, Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti, but according to Luis García Villagrán, who helped organize the caravan, some of the migrants are from Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Cameroon. Villagrán also projected that the caravan could grow up to 15,000 people by the time it reaches the U.S.-Mexico border, the New York Post reported.

    Mexico has often allowed such caravans to travel through its country to the U.S. border, and López Obrador said last month that U.S. officials were asking him to do more to stop the caravan at Mexico's border with Guatemala. The Mexican president, however, wants the U.S. to send more aid to Latin American countries and slash sanctions against the communist governments of Cuba and Venezuela.

    "We are going to help, as we always do," López Obrador said. "Mexico is helping reach agreements with other countries, in this case Venezuela."

    Shortly before meeting with Blinken and Mayorkas, López Obrador called on the U.S. to give more support to Latin American countries instead of "building walls," adding that the illegal immigration issue is only "going to intensify," according to The New York Times. During the meeting, Blinken "will discuss unprecedented irregular migration in the Western Hemisphere and identify ways Mexico and the United States will address border security challenges, including actions to enable the reopening of key ports of entry across our shared border," the State Department said.


    The Biden administration officials' meeting with López Obrador comes amid a record surge of illegal border crossings as President Joe Biden faces continued calls to take action on the crisis. In November, a record 242,418 migrants were encountered attempting to illegally enter the U.S., according to Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). Authorities also saw record-setting days for illegal border crossings earlier this month with more than 10,000 migrants illegally entering the U.S. on multiple days.

    An estimated 8 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended by border patrol agents since Biden's inauguration in January of 2021, and there have been approximately 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways under Biden's watch.

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.
