How big do you think the caravan, that started out with only 4,000 people, will get over the weeks that it will take to finally reach the southern US border? I predict 15,000. Vote in the poll.
Apparently way way MORE are coming, and the Mexicans are HELPING, yes HELPING them to get here! https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/english/14000-hondurans-caravan
It doesn't matter. They will create plenty of picturesque moments of poor brown people being met by men with guns. They can't just go back home, so it'll be like the charge of the light brigade. If not, then the democrats will get more voters. It's a win-win for the democrats. The only problem with this idea is that normal Americans might see the bloodshed as Trump doing his job. It's a question of spin, really. Will the Rachel Maddows and Whoopie Goldberg's be able to convince normal people that protecting the border using violent means is inhumane? There will be violence, and if there's one picture or video of a woman with her child being put in handcuffs or maybe even shot and killed, the democrats will make sure that's plastered on every TV, newspaper, and magazine cover in the country. Remember that picture of the dead syrian kid washed up on shore? That's what they want so that we'll do what the europeans had to do and greet the invaders with open arms.
once the shooting starts, the crowd will disperse quickly. They're not suicidal. a handful of deaths will let the rest know we are sicking of ****ing around with this bullshit. Come here the right way or not at all. We need to close the southern border for a while and admit zero immigrants until this **** simmers down.
Shooting? You act like these caravans are something new. They aren't and they are pretty much a non-event. First of all many of these people drop out as they cross Mexico. And when they DO get here...what happens? Nothing. They go through the normal procedure. They apply for asylum...Trump's people throw in them in jail and maybe rips the kids away from the parents and everyone goes about their business. The sky didn't fall last time and it won't fall this time
If it's happened before that means it's OK to happen now. Democrats seek moral equivalence to justify their actions.
The caravans in the past have been just as big and.....nothing happened. They got here...applied for asylum...and things went on like they always do. This is cynicism of the worst kind. Trump is PLAYING you folks.
These caravans have been happening for 10 years and until Trump...no one noticed. Because they aren't that big a deal. They get here and apply for asylum and go through the system https://www.cbsnews.com/news/migrant-caravan-what-is-it-and-whats-next-closer-look/
Well, apparently they keep happening because nobody has bothered to put an end to it. The **** needs to stop. We need to let these countries they are fleeing from know that if they don't get their act together we'll topple their government and put a puppet regime in place. We probably should have done that ages ago anyways. Maybe their countries would start functioning again.
the Caravan will grow to 1 million, as Mexico releases prisoners from jail, and other poor Mexicans join because its a guaranteed 17K/year welfare income, healthcare and housing awaiting them if they can just step one foot over the US border, especially in the State of California. In they can get to any of the Blue Socialist Democrat Sanctuary cities, they will have both State and Local government officials defying Federal Laws and ICE to protect them.
Sounds like it's time to invade Mexico and Central America. Declare martial law, put in a governor, write up a constitution like ours and make the countries prosperous like we did for S Korea and Japan. It would be the greatest humanitarian movement of the 21st century.
They are here to vote and some are reported to carry fake, realistic looking ids. Folks this is your blue wave.
The Air Force needs to drop a MOAB a couple miles in front of them. Maybe they would get the idea we dont want them here.
You don't realize that this is all politically driven. The timing, the hoped for military response by Trump... it's all political, and the lives of those guys are irrelevant to their political masters. If you wanted to illegally immigrate somewhere, would you wait for some huge highly publicized "caravan" to just storm the borders? Of course not! These are the dregs of the south American economies who are desperate to escape their own countries, and this is all being orchestrated, and they're being paid to do it now.
It should never be an option to seek asylum because you're from a shithole country. Make it better. And it certainly shouldn't be an option to cross another safe country to apply for asylum in one with massive public benefits. Go home or get shot.
