Thousands of migrants amassed along the U.S.-Mexico border in preparation for an invasion.
Americans were fearful their border was about to be overrun.
But then Donald Trump revealed the caravan’s fate and it wasn’t what anyone was expecting.

Then the migrant invaders turned violent.
They fired projectiles at the Border Patrol agents who were tasked with securing America’s border.

The attackers damaged Border Patrol vehicles and hit at least three members of the border patrol with heavy rocks.
Fortunately no one was seriously injured.
But at least 42 migrant invaders were arrested on the U.S. side of the Mexican border after this battle.
Donald Trump Reacts To Attempted Migrant Invasion
Donald Trump reacted strongly to the images and videos of the battle at the Southern border.
He insisted Mexico should deport the invasion force and that he would close the border permanently if need be.
And in fact, the government did shut down the San Ysidro Port of Entry – where 100,000 people cross every day – for a number of hours on Sunday because of the migrants attempted incursion into America.
He also noted that these aren’t tired and poor huddled masses yearning for the American dream.
Hundreds of these migrants are criminals.
And many others are waving the flags of their home countries.
Trump tweeted:
Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries. Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL!
In response to the migrant assault on the U.S. border, Mexico announced they were taking the extraordinary step of deporting hundreds of migrants back to their home countries.
This action was in line with Trump’s previous demand.
Trump had previously tweeted:
Would be very SMART if Mexico would stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border, or if originating countries would not let them form (it is a way they get certain people out of their country and dump in U.S. No longer). Dems created this problem. No crossings!
Fortunately for American citizens, Border Patrol repelled the migrants attempted invasion.
But the shocking video proved Trump was right and the fake news media was lying.
Fake news “journalists” spent weeks claiming the caravan would never reach America and that it wasn’t an invasion.
The video from the border showed otherwise.
Trump was correct to deploy troops to the border and authorize them to defend themselves.
The migrant gang is a hard bitten collection of mostly men – many of whom are violent criminals – who are far from legitimate asylum seekers.
