Now or never: Trump's 'wall' talk sparks migrant rush on U.S.-Mexico border




Interviews with migrants, people smugglers and officials show many migrants are trying to cross now instead of facing tighter policing and new policies to halt illegal immigration if Trump or another Republican wins the Nov. 8 election.

"If Trump wins, we're all screwed and all Latinos are screwed," Isaias Franco, a 46-year-old from El Salvador who was deported from the United States late last year and is now trying to get back, said at a migrant shelter in Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows 150,304 migrants were detained trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border between October and February, up 24 percent from the same period last year.

Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas

understatement. It's like one big metro area, those two cities.

That would make sense. Just like all of Obama and friends' attempts at gun control results in more gun sales.

It should be noted that the same thing would happen with any impending amnesty, as illegal immigrants would want to be here for that too.

Isaias Franco, a deported 46-year-old from El Salvador, just wrote a great campaign slogan for Trump with that.

The root cause here is the establishment invitation in the form of welfare and promises of amnesty. It's not right to blame the person who aims to solve the problem for effects rooted in the activities of other parties to provide the lure and encouragement.

In this case there is a very particular root cause also and that is Obama has explicitly invited them in, in open defiance of his Constitutional duty to faithfully execute the law.

This is basically a hit piece (and from Reuters so no surprise) blaming Trump for the very problem he proposes to solve.
