The much ballyhooed migrant caravan has finally arrived at the border, and the migrants seeking asylum from gang violence in Honduras and elsewhere.
According to news reports, some are climbing the fence at the border, but they’re sitting at the top and not actually crossing over.
Watch below:

I think it’s important to note that these are not illegal aliens – yet. They haven’t crossed in, and they’re trying to seek asylum – that’s a legal process of getting help from the United States.
Now, if they chose to try to sneak in without asylum, then they become illegal aliens. Also they might be illegal in Mexico – they are seeking asylum there too.
But Trump’s attitude has been very hostile, so I would think it’d be unlikely that they get any asylum.

UPDATE: Some more videos of the border situation right now.

Caravan of 200+ Central American asylum seekers was met at border by MX army, federal police & immigration who said only a small group (50 people) could enter USA. That group was then told by US CBP that the port of entry was “at capacity.” @KPBSnews pic.twitter.com/JPvb5nGxdr

They’re screaming, “We are not criminals. We are workers. International.” IN other words, international workers. In other words, COMMIES. Ya’ll can’t seek asylum just because you’re dumb commies.
