[FONT=&quot]TEGUCIGALPA/GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Central American countries warned on Thursday that large numbers of migrants have fled their poor, violent homes since Donald Trump's surprise election win, hoping to reach the United States before he takes office next year.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Trump won the Nov. 8 vote by taking a hard line on immigration, threatening to deport millions of people living illegally in the United States and to erect a wall along the Mexican border.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Trump's tough campaign rhetoric sent tremors through the slums of Central America and the close-knit migrant communities in U.S. cities, with many choosing to fast-forward their plans and migrate north before Trump takes office on Jan. 20.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]During fiscal year 2016, the United States detained nearly 410,000 people along the southwest border with Mexico, up about a quarter from the previous year. The vast majority hail from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

So, the 'oh so strict' times of Obama are coming to a close, and Trump about to come in, and there is a rush to get here before the change? hmmmm....If Obama has been so tough on the border why would that be?

As long as they don't commit (other) crimes then, once here, Trump will consider them low priority "good people" so he has nobody to blame but himself. Celebrate the Trump illegal immigration surge along with the Trump stock market surge. ;)

On the flip side, it could be that they want to be participants in the Trump economic recovery. Obama did his level best to destroy the economy and failed utterly and completely.

Notice how the corrupt MSM has pretty much ignored this fact?

And these are just apprehensions. How many others have crossed without being detected?

I truly hope they learn a lesson about immigration laws, and what happens to those who violate them.

Maybe they're flooding here at the prospect of employment in building a wall.

1) Fear of the scary brown immigrants is a regular thing that extreme right wing posters yammer on about. It's just background noise at this point.
2) You couldn't even bother to format the source so that it was a functional link, so meh.

Maybe they give out sandwiches when they arrest them at the border? Your cite says nearly 410,000 were 'detained' so far this year.
Or maybe being deported would be, like, an excellent adventure, so they hope to be ready when Trump rounds up illegals.

Why bother? According to recent threads it's all just partisan bull**** propaganda anyways.

Nope plenty of people come here legal every day and we are fine. No one is scared.
Hey are not immigrants they are illegals trying to get here.

So called amnesty is gone. Even if obama magically lets them in trump can exit them just as quickly.

Simple on the illegal immigrant thing it's all about buying votes. The majority vote left and they know it and the outrageous screams and cries of the left confirm this. They "care"for these illegals like no others as they vote to help keep the left in power.

My sense of humor is malfunctioning. I drank last night for the first time in a month.

Sorry, let me try that again: "Fear of the scary brown illegals is a regular thing that extreme right wing posters yammer on about. It's just background noise at this point."

A aversion to giving the country away is what I see the yammering being about. Remember making liberals feel warm and fuzzy is now a thing of the past, I sincerely hope.

Yep, that is a fairly good analogy - since the gun "bans" usually include a grandfather clause.

Yeah..

But one thing.. Buying guns is GREAT for the american economy and the general safety and security of our nation..
Illegal immigrants, not so much..

Illegal immigrants mostly take the jobs that citizens are paid not to take. ;)
