Hey Melidae, I like that.... Marabunta Migratoria "Invasion of the Ants". I've been in Costa Rica before when there was an 'invasion of the ants' that occurred at the residence where we were staying. It was pure madness - very unnerving - to see so many ants invading the place where you're living. It lasted for more than 24 hours. So, I 'get' the sense & the meaning in the words that are being used to describe this event.

One can easily see that most of the signs that people are holding are written in Spanish. The terms 'Invasores', 'Invasión', 'No a la invasión', 'Mexico Unio' are terms used on signs that the Mexican people have made & using in their protesting in Tijuana.
Now for the American MSM:
>>>>>
"The protesters said they had no problem with legal immigration, but they were strongly opposed to what they called an "illegal invasion." --
NBC NEWS >>>>>
"We want the caravan to go; they are invading us," said Patricia Reyes, a 62-year-old protester, hiding from the sun under an umbrella.
"They should have come into Mexico correctly, legally, but they came in like animals." --
npr news >>>>>
“We’re against uncontrollable migration,” said Edgar Martínez, 42, a teacher and dual U.S.-Mexican citizen.
Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum has been less supportive. He has described the influx of migrants as a problem for Tijuana and dismissed the claim that many are fleeing violence and political persecution. --
Washington Post >>>>>
The mayor of Tijuana has been spotted wearing a red hat with the words, '
Make Tijuana Great Again" --
