Number of caravan migrants allowed into US rises to 158

Seventy more Central American migrants were allowed to cross into the U.S. on Thursday, bringing the total number to 158 over the last few days, Reuters reported.

The group of men, women and children were allowed to make their way into the port of entry border crossing in California on Thursday morning, joining dozens of others who had already crossed.

Roughly 60 more migrants are still waiting in Mexico, hoping to make it into the U.S. to seek asylum, Reuters reported.

Customs and border officials have only allowed small numbers of asylum-seekers through at a time, because the processing facility was already at capacity upon the group's arrival.

why is drumpf not doing anything about it? Not that i want him too.. but he was going on and on about all the rapists in the caravan, and how awful it was, and i haven't heard a peep from him about blocking entry.

Second thing......... why are the deplorables not out in the streets demanding drumpf do something. shouldn't they be FURIOUS with him for not stopping them?

These are initial screenings. For refugees from abroad (exclusively old women and children) then a 2+ year begins. He can't do anything.
