The Honduras immigrants keeps gettng larger...
An additional 1,000 is joining the group, which additional group includes people who have already been deported.
Presidemt Trump has beem rattling his sabers, but this [roblem can be handled by the States pursuant to the last paragraph of Article I of the Constitution: "No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay." [Emphasis supplied] Possible entry points into the U.S. are 5, with 4 of those in Texas: |

It's 1,476.9 miles from Huixtla, the last reported point of the leading edge of the invasion, to Piedras Negra/Eagle Pass, Texas.
Now, I have read that a Soldier, fully loaded with gear, can march about 30 miles per day. I have also read that French Foreign Legion solders have marched up to 60 miles in one day, fully packed out...but this was marching for 24hours straight. These are hard core warriors that are in good health/physical condition. These people obviously are not in the physical condition to do such a thing, but lets be generous and say they can do 25 miles in a day...which is probably optimistic. At 25 miles per day, it will take approximately 60 days to arrive at the border, which I am assuming is the closest point of entry on the map that Spence provided. |

As I pointed out in the other thread, despite what the lame stream is reporting, public opinion is not on their side. Go to the comments of any news story on this subject and see for yourself...random articles not linked to places like Drudge. Of course the media is throwing gasoline on the fire and failing to ask the proper questions and report on this responsibly. Where in the **** is the UN? International Humanitarian issues are exactly what they are suppose to handle. |

I say we get some of our BEST, with nice high speed machine guns, and clear the field, only need do about a few hundred of them, the rest will flee all the way home.....but obviously this should have happened many many many years ago, before the cartels were established......

All of my conservative friends are up in arms about this invasion. MY few vocal liberal friends are strangely silent. I have not heard any pronouncements from any prominent Democrat nor media.

When researching what the liberal media is saying, I found this from MSNBC:

Here's an idea....when they get to the border, be there with a list of employers ready to give them jobs and committed to providing them housing so that they can get their feet on the ground when they arrive.

They are not immigrants. They wave the flag of they country they are leaving while burning the flag of the country they are headed to. Invaders do that.

If you had children and were in a similar situation as these people, would you not do everything within your means, including taking a risk, so that your children might have everything they need to succeed? In the words of George Clinton - "Free your mind and your ass will follow" I am all for protecting our borders, but I am also for this country being GREAT and the land of opportunity that people outside our borders seem the be the only ones that recognize and the only handouts this country should be providing are opportunities and chances for a better life. |

Is there a limit to how many people you would let in this way?
Or is it just "anyone who can walk here and thinks they can live better can come on in?" |

But for this situation, it is different, it is political and those people are being used as pawns by our own government as well as their own nations. Open the doors, let them in, and close it securely after they are all inside. |

At the same time they refuse to change thier culture and really become Americans. They want America to be like thier home. In a perfect world I'd love to see ALL means tested welfare ended and then let whomever wants to come here and make better like for themselves happen while assimilating and adding the best of thier culture and stropping themselves of the worst. |
