Another massive migrant caravan is en route to the U.S. border, and this time they’re not even trying to hide their intentions.
At a Glance
- 2,500 migrants departed from southern Mexico, heading for the U.S. border
- Caravan aims to reach the U.S. before the presidential election
- CBP plans to use Title 8 to remove illegal crossers, but many can’t be returned
- Surge includes “special interest” migrants from Iran, Egypt, and Western Africa
Here We Go Again: Another Migrant Caravan Marches North
Just when you thought the border crisis couldn’t get any worse, here comes yet another migrant caravan to test the limits of our already strained immigration system. On October 20, a group of up to 2,500 migrants departed from Tapachula, Chiapas, in southern Mexico, with their sights set squarely on the U.S.-Mexico border. Because apparently, we haven’t had enough chaos and lawlessness at our southern border already.
What’s their rush, you ask? Well, these migrants are on a mission to reach the U.S. before the presidential election. It’s almost as if they know their chances of waltzing right into our country might diminish if a certain political party loses power. Funny how that works, isn’t it?

The Numbers Game: A Growing Crisis
This latest caravan isn’t just a drop in the bucket. The Associated Press estimates it at about 2,000 migrants, marking it as the third and largest since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office in Mexico. And let’s not forget the group of approximately 1,000 migrants that left the same region just a week earlier. It’s like they’re running a scheduled bus service to our border, and we’re footing the bill.
But wait, it gets better. CBP buses have been spotted dropping off migrants at a shelter in Eagle Pass, Texas. In the past week alone, nearly 160 unaccompanied migrant children crossed into Eagle Pass, mostly from Central and South America. Because nothing says “responsible border management” like shuttling undocumented minors into our communities, right?
Special Interest Aliens: A National Security Nightmare
As if the sheer numbers weren’t concerning enough, we’re now dealing with an influx of “special interest” migrants. Large groups crossing into Texas have included individuals from Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and Western African countries. Let that sink in for a moment. We’re not just talking about economic migrants anymore; we’re potentially dealing with national security threats.
CBP claims they’re aware of these mass migrant groups and plans to use Title 8 immigration law to remove those crossing illegally. But here’s the kicker: migrants from “special interest” countries often cannot be returned and are released to seek asylum. In other words, they get a free pass into our country, no questions asked. It’s like we’re rolling out the red carpet for potential threats to our national security.
As the election approaches, this influx of migrants is only expected to increase.
After all, if you were a member of a gang, wouldn’t you want to do as much business as possible before America re-elects the guy who knows how to put a stop to this madness?
