Mexican Forces Use Bulldozers to Clear Out Matamoros Immigrant Camp
2023-12-30
[HotAir] The removal of the camp happened earlier this month, amid Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on immigration.

On Wednesday, Matamoros officials told The Associated Press that they were only getting rid of vacant or abandoned tents.

A Honduran immigrant denied the officials’ claim.

“They ran us out,” he said, according to Fox News. He also said that the migrants were only given a quick notice before they started the process.
"Git!"
[One has to imagine that the Mexicans are tired of this too, although not as tired as we are of it. Unfortunately, this apparently prompted the camp residents to cross into the US. If Mexico really wants to disincentivize this mass migration, they should work not just on their northern border but also on their southern border as well; — Ed]

#2  ^^ 'A Matar' is Spanish for 'to kill', so 'Matamoros' literally means "Kill the Moors".

But....semantics.
