    President Trump announced Monday morning he is starting the process to cut or reduce aid to Central American countries that haven't stopped a caravan of illegal aliens. Over the past few days, the caravan has grown from 4,000 people to 7,000.

    Over the weekend, President Trump again threatened to seal off the border if Central American countries or Mexico couldn't control the flow north.

    In Mexico, authorities have failed to stop the massive caravan. Stretching one mile long, it has broken through borders, police lines and barricades. When the cameras are off, caravan members ditch the walking to grab rides on train and trucks.

    During an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Friday, Mexican Ambassador Geronimo Gutierrez again argued Mexican immigration policy does not encourage illegal behavior and should be orderly.....snip~

    About time.....But this does nothing with Mexico. Looks like Trump will save the US some money. Hope they count that in with the numbers. What say ye?

    The Border is already swamped. Border patrol caught like 750 within this last month. IMO Mexico isn't doing much of anything. As the caravan seems to break thru all their barriers.


    Big numbers of Central Americans arriving at Arizona border.....


    - Large groups of Central American migrants continue to surrender to Border Patrol agents in Arizona with the arrival of one recent group numbering 108 captured in dramatic video images, authorities said Friday.
    The agency said camera operators monitoring movement Thursday afternoon along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Yuma area captured images of a large number of people being dropped over the border wall east of the San Luis Port of Entry.


    It said the smugglers never crossed the border while they helped migrants over the wall in four places. The group was comprised of 100 Guatemalans and eight Hondurans. They included 52 children, nine of them 5 years and younger.

    The mass crossing occurred while another drama was being played out much farther south as a caravan of several thousand Central American migrants traveled northbound, prompting President Donald Trump to warn Mexico to stop them from reaching the U.S. border.


    Arizona Border Patrol agents for weeks have been overwhelmed by the arrival of large numbers of Central American migrants traveling in families.

    Like I said in another thread, Trump needs to send an extremely visible military force to the border and show it off to those down south. We need armed troops, helicopters, jets, dogs, military vehicles, command centers and whatever else is needed so those on the other side of the border know we mean business. Mexico should be warned that we will not take in a single alien and everyone in the mob heading this way will be Mexico's problem.

    They are waiting on the border with signs welcoming them. The 1st thing they will do when they get here is sign up for medical.

    Never believe a Democrat if they tell you they are against illegal immigration. The people who make threads celebrating that the demise of the white majority in America, Obviously do like the people that are here now.

    He needs to deploy troops, yes, but it will take time to get them in place at the most seriously threatened crossing points. Right away (this morning would be good), he needs to have the military get armed surveillance drones ready to fly over these crossing areas so that they can instantly report mass movements against vulnerable points. Those points should be where we send deterrent assets of all kinds FIRST to intercept invaders!

    And (everybody gripes at me about this suggestion), we should lay down strips of anti-personnel mines in those most vulnerable areas, along with signage that gives unmistakable warning to STAY THE HELL OUT!

    And, if a massed mob of invaders surges up to the border, he should seal the border SHUT for as long as needed to meet the threat, and back this up with armed military force. No trucks, no commerce, no tourists, no NOTHING. This might (MIGHT) get the Mexican authorities to do something to help!

    One other thing -- and this is important -- the president should have investigations begin immediately to discover whether or not ANYBODY in the United States is promoting these 'caravans', by giving their leaders support, money, or aid in any form. And if such persons are discovered to be here, in the United States, they should be publicly identified, charged and arrested!

    Reality: this is OUR country! We do not (NOT) have to put up with illegal invaders from ANYWHERE!

    Democrats will tell you that we deserve this because America became powerful by robbing the world of all its riches, slavery, and the crusades. They think this caravan is our chickens coming home to roost. They want to see America knocked down and its wealth redistributed. They believe that anybody should be able to come and go from America unchecked and unregulated regardless of the consequences.

    Don't let a Democrat Sarah mccaskill you and make you think they are against illegal immigration. Behind the scenes they are doing everything they can to Open the border.

    Your Right, it will take time to get troops down there. Trumps Team should call Local Sherriffs and get them to start deputizing people.

    Its clear these people wont follow rules and laws.

    Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think that Trump should announce that our entire border with Mexico will be SEALED SHUT until any and ALL 'caravans' heading toward the United States are broken up and dispersed. Such a thing would be hard on many Americans, yes, but it would be DEVASTATING to Mexico.

    With the prospect of seeing the border with our country sealed shut on an indefinite basis, my educated guess is that the Mexicans will get up off their cynical, Trump-hating asses and actually start to DO something EFFECTIVE about 'caravans' crossing their countries -- including getting 'tag-along' Mexicans to disband also!

    Hint: Mexico is not (NOT) a 'weak' country. They could STOP this 'caravan' bullshit if they wanted to. Mexico has one of the most dreaded police forces anywhere in the world -- the Policia Azul. Turn those guys loose on the 'caravans' and it would be all over in about thirty minutes -- start to finish....

    You know what's going to happen, the leftist courts will force Trump to restore foreign aid.

    Anyone want to take bets?

    I agree. Seal the border and let's get that wall built.

    Globalist are trying to import as many people to America that have no loyalty to America as possible. They are trying to import a voter base that will elect them into power and take America over. They need to import people who rather send 221 million dollars to Palestinians, Then help people here in America.

    Until you realize that democrats are actually America's enemy none of their actions will make sense. They are trying to tear down this country and take it over permanently. They are fascist and totalitarian. Not only do they want to secure permanent power but they want to make disagreeing with them illegal

    More and more every day, this country reminds me of Germany when it was "The Weimar Republic" after World War I. It all ended up being a monumental clash between the German Communists (which I think of as parallel to today's Democrat Party), and the National Socialists (the Nazis). I sincerely hope it doesn't come to armed fighting in the streets as it did in the Weimar Republic, but THAT seems to be where we are headed....

    Trump put it best in his simple statement back during the last presidential campaign -- EITHER WE HAVE A COUNTRY, OR WE DON'T.... The choice is ours, and it should not be that of some damned liberal federal judge sitting up in some 'ivory tower' where the genuine will-of-the-people is laughed at and cast aside every damned day!

    The global socialist (Gazis) are importing their civilian military into our country. When they feel they have Enough, they will Get uncivil and attack Americans on the street.

    For now their goal is just to gum up the works and leech our social systems.

    Once again trump frames the problem as one dealing with "sealing borders," instead of addressing the conditions that compel people to seek to escape those conditions.

    Instead of cutting aid, sealing borders or building a wall, trump should look into improving living conditions in Central America, so citizens don't feel such a need to go elsewhere.

    Flying the Honduran flag as they cross the border into the U.S. will not win them any sympathy here.

    In fact, it’s quite sickening.

    Catch 22. Cut aid, these South American countries become more impoverished and its residents even more desperate to head north.

    Trump has established an adversarial posture rather than cooperation, just as he has with the people he screwed over in business. How did he solve those issues? He declared bankruptcy. Something to consider if you’re applauding Trump for this move.

    I wonder if Gavin newsome in California running on free health care for illegal immigrants makes the problem worse?

    The 'caravan' is headed to Texas, not California.

    If Democrats were in power they would just let them in. Where they are in power they will let them in like California. Democrats with welcome signs and medical awaits them. You can even get a lawyer paid for by the dnc to help your case.
