One asshole was interviewed the other day and said the violence is so bad in his country his mother was murdered. So he's headed to the US. Without his wife and kids. Now, does that make sense? They are coming for the free shit and to make a political statement during an election. **** 'em. |

You guys really think that entire caravan is walking in lock step with some political agenda? That someone managed to convince 4, 6, 8 thousand people to uproot and walk thousands of miles for the promise of, what exactly?
Is there a bad element within the crowd? Of course there is. It sure as hell isn't 100%, so what is it? 10%? 30%? What treatment do the rest deserve? I'm not going to broad brush the whole group based on the actions of individuals. The world ain't that simple and those simplistic "solutions" that get thrown around? They're not solutions at all.

You've answered your own question. What makes 7-10,000 get up and leave ?
A better question-why didn't the 7-10,000 DO SOMETHING to change their government ? Do you really think you are getting the best that country has to offer ? There is a report saying 400K have crossed this year ALREADY. What's another 10K ? Face it-80% of the world lives in poverty. The US can't take care of everyone http://www.globalissues.org/article/...acts-and-stats This is neither a Blue or Red thing. This is an American thing. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you. |

Anyone who believes that this is not a completely bought and paid for expedition is willfully blind.
They are all wearing what looks like new clothes. Clean clothes. Who bought them and where do they clean them? Who is feeding them? Who is paying for it? Where do that many people go to the bathroom? Where do they take showers? Shave? Where do they sleep? SMDH. |

Hoog, seriously. Think about it. 7000 people just spontaneously decide to pull stakes, leave their families behind, and all head out at the same time headed in the same direction.
That takes organization and resources. I had a hard time getting a company of Marines to do that. |

Here is my compromise. Much like adoption, liberals can be part of the solution.
All those in favor of an open border, can sign up "Sally Struthers style", and agree to take in a refugee. They can take in as many as they want. They will be legally responsible for that person's actions, and financially responsible for their needs for the next 5 years for anyone over 18 and until age 23 for anyone under 18. If there are 10,000 people in that caravan, there only needs to be a maximum of 10,000 liberals to sign up. |

Thinking this was wholly conceptualized, organized and implemented by the Dems is probably foolish. But I think once that snowball started rolling downhill and gathering in size, BOTH sides seized on the opportunity to politicize this. Should this caravan actually reach the US-Mexico border I don't think sending the National Guard is necessarily a bad idea. They'd surely be overwhelmed with the shear volume of people. It's not possible these people will reach the US by election day so we won't get to see how this is impacts mid-terms. I think this entire thing will fizzle out LONG before it becomes a crisis. |

A: Because each time, they are successful. Hell, the last group made it, I can too. Want to stop this from happening? Don't let them in. And in the end, if tear gas, LRAD's, rubber bullets, etc. don't stop them, then it's gut check time. We have a right to keep them out. If it comes to it, and non lethal means aren't stopping them..... I'm not advocating for violence against this group, and I hope a resolution can be made peacefully, that the folks that absolutely do not want to go back can apply to be refugees, housed in UN camps in southern Mexico, and the rest can be sent back. That's been offered to the group repeatedly and they have turned it down. |

I wonder how all of the other illegal immigrants with decent under the table jobs feel about the arrival of tens of thousands of new Central American immigrants willing and able to work (probably cheaper) and take their jobs?
BTW, Mexicans are pretty racist toward people from Central America. |

I suspect these people were given money and continuing assistance on the trek, with the promise of a payout after they get into the US. Find out who is financing things. As Sea Six has pointed out.....who is keeping these folks clean, fed and well clothed. If I left my house with no money and a small suitcase of clothes, I'd look like shit after just a few days of walking day after day in a tropical climate. These people look fresh as a daisy. The young ladies wearing the florescent vests that seem to be directing the action are wearing sandals. You don't walk 25 miles a day in sandals. You just don't. It's a put up job. Somebody or some group found people willing to do this for money and for the promise of taxpayer goodies once they get here. |

Like it or not, the act of counting the wife's income same as hubbys in qualifying for a house purchase long about '70 or so, house prices near doubled in 2 years......and so that FORCED women into the workplace, and kids into daycare/substandard screwals......
look it up.....the population of the USA in the 50's was 150million people,..... in the ~2018 about 350 million ...... the average white couple has had a declining birthrate from 1.8 down to 1.4 children per married couple/household..... so what happened ??? 50-60 million illegals, plus how many others?? say 40 million just for conversation.... the only old friend I have that has 2+ kids is my age....the ONLY ONE I know of....all the rest are around 2 kids and most of them anywhere near my age have had NO KIDS!!!! and one gal lost hers in a aircraft accident some 30 years ago..... Keep in mind, I talking of folks I have known for about 50 years.... so just what is in it for this nation to keep the illegals here?? |

Do you now say to open the door to the first one, but hold it open for the second one, THEN close it and keep it closed? |
