Hundreds of thousands of migrants are gathering and being held beyond the US southern border, waiting to see the outcome of the US election, and border officials say they will likely storm the US should Harris take the White House.
Southern Mexico holds a migrant ticking time bomb created by the Harris-Biden administration that may go off in less than two weeks.
In the small town of Tapachula, Mexico, near the border of Guatemala, a swarm of hundreds of thousands of migrants awaits to hear the outcome of November 5
The fuse was lit in December 2023, when the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris, worried about what the optics of such a crowd at the southern border would do to their re-election chances, worked a back door deal with Mexican officials to gather up the masses and “internally” deport them away from the US border, deep into Mexico in towns like Tapachula,
The deal was to have Mexico deploy 32,500 troops to the US border to round up untold thousands of intending border crossers from the northern precincts and force-ship them by planes and buses thousands of miles to Mexico’s southern provinces and entrap them in cities like Tapachula behind militarized roadblocks. Mexico closed off most of its freight trains to migrant freeriders, bulldozed northern camps, and patrolled relentlessly for more deportee targets.
The effect was immediate. Illegal border crossings plummeted from an embarrassing, record-breaking 12,000 to 14,000 per day in November and December 2023 to about 3,000 or 4,000 per day before January was even over.
But the crisis isn’t over, and Tapachula and other Mexican towns like it are bursting at the seams!
The just-released 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment from the Department of Homeland Security says the decrease in illegal border crossing is largely due to “increased Mexican enforcement efforts.”
Mexico is still trying to hold up its end of the bargain, at least until November 5, even though more migrants are starting to slip through and making it over the Texas or California borders.
The question is what happens after the American election? What happens if that enforcement stops, as is likely to occur if Harris is elected and can return to her extreme liberal views of immigration?
No matter who wins, Mexico might well consider that it more than satisfied its obligation to the current White House occupant and open the floodgates.
Even if Trump wins, Americans should expect a massive tidal wave of caravans for the 10 weeks before Inauguration Day. According to Fox News and NY Post reporters on the ground in southern Mexico, migrants say they fear a Trump presidency and will rush to the border in a last-ditch attempt to get into the US before he takes draconian border enforcement measures.
But at least a Trump victory would result in only a temporary flood. A Harris win could mean a tidal wave of human suffering that could for the next four years, much like the last four!
