Migrant caravan in Mexico abandons plan to travel to US border, by AFP.

A caravan of Central American migrants whose trek across Mexico infuriated President Donald Trump has decided not to travel to the US border, leaders said Tuesday. …

The just over 1,000 migrants who currently make up the caravan — many traveling in families of up to 20 people — have been camped in the southern town since the weekend, deciding their next move in the face of daily attacks from Trump.

The Republican president vowed to send the US military to secure the border and threatened to axe the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) if Mexico did not stop the caravan. …

The group, mainly Hondurans, also includes Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Nicaraguans, mostly fleeing the brutal gang violence that has made Central America home to some of the highest murder rates in the world.

The US Democrats won’t allow funding to allow Trump to build his wall. Now they are making noises to prevent Trump using the military to enforce the borders. A country without borders is no country. If it also has a generous welfare system then it will be a magnet for third worlders — who incidentally vote overwhelmingly for the Democrats, or is that the point?
