Standing against unjustifiable charges of being racist, President Trump is resolute about protecting homeland security and the citizens of the United States, unlike Angela Merkel and other European leaders who have flung open their doors to immigration, exposing their people to traumatic sex attacks and surging crime rates at the hands of Muslim migrants. Trump intends to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants from the Southern border, and also curtail Muslim immigration.
Trinidad has the highest Islamic State recruitment rate in the Western hemisphere. Jihadis from there and elsewhere can easily cross into the U.S. from Mexico. In 2014, the Obama administration was warned by credible security sources that the Southern border posed a serious risk to homeland security; Judicial Watch posted an article about the Islamic State operating in the border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning car bomb attacks in the U.S. But Obama has ignored repeated warnings, unlike Trump.
So now, with a wall barrier in the offing, migrants have been trying to “sneak into the United States from the parched Mexican desert,” but they “have to contend with border guards’ drones overhead, poisonous snakes underfoot and human trafficking gangs at their backs.”
Mexican authorities are arresting thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of undocumented migrants each month.
Of course, leftists continue to publish articles that paint President Trump as racist, and that interview migrants telling their sad stories about being rejected. They don’t publish articles about the victims of crime whose lives have been devastated at the hands of migrants, or about the national security aspects of the immigration issue.
“Migrants Race to Reach US Before Trump Takes Over”, Breitbart, January 18, 2017:
Sasabe (Mexico) (AFP) – Migrants trying to sneak into the United States from the parched Mexican desert have to contend with border guards’ drones overhead, poisonous snakes underfoot and human trafficking gangs at their backs.
But these challenges are nothing compared to their bigger fear: that someday soon, US President-elect Donald Trump will build a wall to keep them out altogether.
So before Trump takes office on Friday, they are racing against time, riding a freight train up to the border to look for a way across.
In the town of Caborca near the frontier, a group of Hondurans warm themselves by a fire of trash in the early morning cold.
One of them, Wilson, a 48-year-old builder, missed the birth of his daughter to make the journey. Getting to the United States before Trump takes control was more important.
“When I saw that man on the television saying how he hated migrants and was going to build a wall, I thought: ‘It’s now or never,” said Wilson, who would not give his last name.
“So we all spent Christmas and New Year traveling to try to get here in time. We want to beat him to it.”
Mexican authorities are arresting thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of undocumented migrants each month, according to government figures.
Governors of several northern states this week called for extra resources to deal with the surge.
Laura Ramirez, a local charity activist, has been serving more than 200 free lunches a day to migrants.
“There are more and more migrants coming,” she says.
– Walk like a cow –
In the border town of Sasabe, marks in the rust on the border fence appear to show a spot where migrants climbed over, says Sergio Flores, leader of a government migrant task force.
“They have been getting sophisticated” in their efforts to get across undetected, he says.
Nearby on the sand lies a bottle of water, painted black — a common trick to stop the plastic shining in the sun and catching the eye of border guards.
That is just part of the typical migrant survival kit, Flores says.
The migrants wear soft-soled slippers so as not to leave footprints in the sand, along with camouflage clothes and masks.
Some have even made soles for their shoes that make their footprints look like cows’ hooves.
Some put sanitary pads in their socks to cushion their feet on long walks.
In their rucksacks they carry anoraks, remedies for snake bites, alcohol for lighting fires, talcum powder for their feet and painkillers.
They buy their supplies in the shops on the town square in the local village of Altar — an area dubbed “Migrants’ Wal-Mart.”
– Coyotes and mules –
The migrants pay about $1,000 each to so-called “coyotes” — people traffickers — to bring them here from their native countries.
On arrival, some traffickers tell the migrants they must pay another $5,000 to get across the border.
“It’s big business,” Flores says.
Some who cannot pay the traffickers instead cross the border as drug “mules,” with 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of marijuana on their backs.
“You have to bring your own water, food and blanket,” says one such “mule,” a Honduran migrant who called himself El Guero.
“They don’t pay us. The payment is being allowed to cross.”
– Not welcome –
Trump sparked outrage during his election campaign when he branded immigrants from Mexico criminals and rapists.
The insult rankles with the migrants on the migrant trail.
“That racist man is panicking,” said El Guero. “Our only sin is being born in an impoverished country and not having enough money to pay the gangs.”
Just across the US border in the town of Arivaca, Arizona, locals mistrust the migrants.
“We cannot deny that they bring trouble,” says a waiter in the town, who asked not to be named.
“I just think they shouldn’t be here. This is not their home.”
Last week, in his first press conference since winning the election, Trump reiterated his campaign promise to build a wall along the border…..

People who are running away from their problems instead of facing them and making their country better. That’s what illegal immigrants are.
William says
Many of the illegal immigrants are not running away from their problems. Even if they remain in their country, the problems will remain with them. Many illegals, probably most, are not running away from their problems. It’s like trying to run away from your shadow. They cannot run away from their problems because they carry their problems. They bring their problems over here with them. They bring all their social problems that plague their country of origin because they bear the problems: poor, poorly educated, infected with communicable diseases, believing government responsible for their well being, predisposition to criminality, etc.
BC says
I am always struck by the way that these ‘migrants’ who according to the media are escaping ‘poverty’
have very large amounts pf money to pay smugglers, this is the same with those coming from Libya
f c king says
I agree. Stay home and fight for, and improve your own countries.
dwight hogg says
These people need help – I have been to some of those countries and people are destitute. The US and Canada should be helping them so they can stay in their own countries. We should be opening up trade with all these countries. Without our help they cannot improve their own countries. Pressure has to be put on their governments to help their own people.
Carolyne says
Who helped us develop our country? Our ancestors worked very hard to make for us what we now have. It is true that France helped us during the Revolutionary war, but I am aware of no other foreign help to “Develop” our country. It is done by hard work and the sweat of one’s brow. It is how we became what we were and will be again; By our own hard work and not waiting for a handout. Cutting the rate of reproduction might help, too. Whenever one sees a Latino woman above the age of 20, she has three or four children clinging to her and carrying a baby.
As for opening up trade, what do these countries have to trade with us except human bodies? It is time to save ourselves. Past time, in fact. So far past time it might not be possible.
Terry says
When these countries do have something to trade (IE. coffee from south and central America; ditto coca form Ghana and Nigeria, etc) the money goes to the oligarchy.
AND LET US GO TO THE GREAT COUNTRY OF ZIMBABWE. WHEN IT WAS RHODESIA, AND HAD WHITE FARMERS, IT WAS THE BREAD BASKET OF SOUTHERN AFRICA- AND A LARGE FOOD EXPORTER.
THEN CAME THE REVOLUTION. THE WHITE FARMERS WERE KILLED OR DRIVEN OUT. THE FARMS TAKEN OVER.
Zimbabwe is a BASKET CASE- although they are probably beyond being a basket case. Only the PM or Pres or whatever he calls himself lives well. The rest of the people starve.
The same is true of Venezuela- once the richest country in South America-now the army patrols the Colombian border- to keep out those who want to smuggle in–drum roll–toilet paper; deodorant; soap and other decadent luxuries. By the way, Venezuela is the poster child for Bernie Sanders and his followers.
I despise Hillary Clinton, and are one of the Trump Deplorabls. However, as bad as Clinton was/is/would have been, Sanders would be worse..
Jules says
We do help them and trade with them, but their governments are so corrupt and the people are held down to keep them slaves to the government for everything in their life just like the democrats do do the blacks here in the US.
joe says
yes, agree

You’re obviously oblivious as to where all of the money goes…try to the armies and terrorists so they can purchase weapons and arms, they’d rather have a rifle and ammunition long before they’ll eat. My personal opinion, let them all kill each other as they have for hundreds of years, the worst thing to do is to think we can civilize any of them…they’re all wolves in sheep’s clothing with their jihad ways and our governments are fools to think they can make a difference. #byebyeCanada
Bezelel says
“That racist man is panicking,” said El Guero. “Our only sin is being born in an impoverished country and not having enough money to pay the gangs.”
That man actually believes what he is saying, The jihadi’s believe what they doing is right to. What you wont hear out of them is any concern about the people of the US. We are supposed to have it too easy, If this country was racist this problem would have never started and a half black man would have never been President. They are every man for himself and not even their kids matter unless it’s an anchor baby or if their muslim, are they able to wear a vest.
don vito says
our only sin is to not want you here illegally.
Ray Sears says
BUT WE DON’T WANT DON’T WANT YOU ! PERIOD !
joe says
hahahqa, agree
Kiel says
The uncontrolled and undesired influx of the third world migrants alway poses a danger. The US is still a nation welcoming aliens from abroad but it has to be controlled. Those fleeing their homelands should better stay and make things better.
Lucia Bartoli says
Keep in mind that much of this report is about those trying to enter at Mexico’s southern borderfromGuatemwla, Honduras El Salvador, etcMexico doesn’t want them there b/c they fear these ppl will be stuck in Mexico. One rarely hears about Mexoco’s southern border wall. If they can afford to build one there, then handle it in the north as well. Why no hue & cry against Mexico for not taking a strong position against the coyotes?! No problem with immigration–just do it LEGALLY. Perhaps a U S citizen who wants to do something positive might consider sponsoring an immigrant. The famous Stouffer Restaurants (back in the day) sponsored young women from Ireland. When they got here a portion of their salaries went to defray the cost of their immigration go action process. I worked with many of these in the late 60s when I was in college. I was the only non immigrants grant girl there (Stouffers in Skokie, Illinois). My family sponsored cousins from Italy. So there are many people sitive, LEGAL ways to be here
Ray Sears says
The key word is “LEGAL ” ! OTHERWISE BEGONE ! YOU AREN’T WANTED HERE !
Guest says
I thought Breitbart was a sensible site? What’s with this sob story, with no balance? What’s with using the term ‘migrants’ when they are illegal immigrants?
Well, at least the comments under the article are more sensible.
PRCS says
They ARE migrants, migrating here specifically “for the jobs”, as they say themselves.
They are not refugees. They are not seeking asylum.
Most are NOT specifically here to IMMIGRATE.
And once they cross the border–without our permission (regardless of the reason they come here)–they become illegal aliens.
somehistory says
They claim they haven’t done anything other than being born in a poor country. But to sneak into the U.S. is a crime. It may have been considered up to this point as a minor crime not worthy of being called criminal, but it is a crime and makes the person an illegal…and a criminal… as soon as they step foot across the border.
It is not the fault of anyone born in the U.S. that someone else was born in a poor country. There may be a lot of sympathy, even from those of us who acknowledge that crossing the border as these ones are doing is a crime. But sympathy quickly erodes when they insist they are doing no wrong and that they have a right to benefits and voting and languages should be changed for them, and they quickly have kids and break other laws, etc.
And the one individual who left his wife and unborn baby so he could sneak in before a wall is built to keep him out…a criminal and a colossal jerk. Next, he will be trying to get them here along with everyone else he knows, or will leave them there where he did not wish to be. He doesn’t care enough about his own family to stay within the law. He won’t care about anything else enough to obey the laws.
Carolyne says
Are we to feel sorry for him because he “Missed” the birth of his baby? I wonder how many others he has back home. His duty lay with taking care of his wife and child/children, not sneak across our border to seek his fortune at our expense.
Keith Gilbert says
Shoot them, all of them, wherever and when found…at once! That may not stop them but it will slow them down to a manageable point.
garegin says
I never understood the narrative of “people of color”. The US supposedly hates them but they are tripping over themselves to come here uninvited. Why don’t they go to socialist paradises of Brazil, Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela or Vietnam where there is no racism or exploitation?
Terry says
I do not believe that President Trump said ” saying how he hated migrants ” .
I beleive that Trump said that he is against ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Large difference.
As to a wall between MEXICO AND THE US. WILLIAM (BILL) JEFFERSON CLINTON PROPOSED IT WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT. (his SPEECHES ARE almost THE SAME as those that President Trump made. (writing President Trump seems good).
Also Barrack Obama made the same comments against UNEDUCATED, UNSKILLED IMMIGRANTS-as to taking jobs away form low(er) income Americans, etc.
Why no outcry by the media then? or at least mentioning it, along with their attempting to crucify Pres. Trump?
gravenimage says
Migrants attempted to race through US Southern border before Trump took over
…………………..
This should surprise no one. I wonder how many Mohammedans were among them?
More Ham Ed says
“Attention all race-baiters, please make your final selections and bring them to the front counter, the White House will be closed to you in 9 hours.”
Angemon says
I don’t understand their line of thinking:
– Trump says he’ll combat illegal immigrants.
– Trump is President.
– The media talks about Trump and Trump supporters as if Trump told people to go out and kill illegals.
– Immigrants flock to America.
Like, what the hell, man?
Carolyne says
As President Trump said yesterday (Yes, it does feel good to write “President Trump,”) Washington has for too long enriched itself while not protecting us, the American people. The Mainstream media too has taken the side of the Democrats, brainwashing those who are too dumb to see through their schemes. Nancy Pelosi made millions overnight for her husband by insider trading which Congress had made legal for themselves but not for us. That has now been changed after the fact. Only recently Congress voted to do away with the “Ethics Committee” so they could not be scrutinized in their nefarious dealings but Mr. Trump made them back away from that.
What are these stupid women who are just laying waste to Washington today hoping to accomplish? When they leave will Mr. Trump not be President? They are just listening to the sound of their own voices. No one else is even paying attention to them.
Terry says
As per THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, IN A VIDEO- said that Pelosi had a sign outside her office, LET’S MAKE AMERICA SICK AGAIN.
One can see where the loyalties lie.
By the way- same video take away (speaker said 6-I would be generous and say 10) counties, (speaker-NYC, LA –I would add San Francisco ) .
According to Google (google number of counties in the US- 3,144-counting Parishes-Louisiana); then google- counties that Pres. Trump won a MAJORITY OR PLURALITY -3,084)
Jules says
We should cancel all trading with Mexico and stop giving them aid until they pay the Mexican people a living wage. They make between $2 – $8 PER DAY. The government is so corrupt. We should demand they pay their people a living wage and then Mexico could be like the US one day.
Terry says
Jules, IT IS NOT THE BUSINESS OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT OF A SOVEREIGN NATION WHAT THEIR PAY SCALE SHOULD BE.
How would you, (I am guessing that you are an American-either citizen or legal alien) if-for example-the President or PM of say Romania, or Portugal or Ireland said that Americans should be paid a minimum of $x per hour?
Your view- who the effing hell are they to tell this country what to pay people. Same thing.
In reverse.
