The migrant caravan marching through Mexico to the U.S. border has grown to more than 14,000, one Mexican news outlet reports, and President Trump is readying a federal response if needed.
Although the group of migrants that set off from Honduras two weeks ago numbered about 2,000, the number has been growing in the last weeks, topping 14,000 now, El Universal reported.
The news outlet said that the new estimate of marchers comes from “municipal authorities,” the Catholic Diocese in the Mexican city of Tapachula, and the Mexican National Migration Institute.
“The first group walked for 37 kilometers from Ciudad Hidalgo to Tapachula on Sunday afternoon and was comprised by 5,333 children, women and men,” El Universal reported. Then 3,000 more men, women and children started “to walk under the rain.”Read the rest of the story HERE.

Instead of sending the military, we should send job recruiters. These people want to work, and are needed.

Also, 14,000 is FAKE NEWS. It's half that. The fear Trump is stoking is also FAKE NEWS. There is nothing to fear about this.
These people are not dangerous. They are not terrorists. They are not MS-13. They are people fleeing danger, violence, poverty and malnutrition.They are people who want to work. They are people who want safety and security for their children.
We should process them as we do all people who come here seeking asylum, which is legal, btw. We should treat them with compassion, as Christ would.
