A lot such as what? Are you really OK with taxpayers (meaning you) paying 5200 of our troops a salary to play Monopoly for at least 45 days so Trump can grab more Republican votes at the 11th hour? That's what this is: a transparent political ploy. These migrants are unarmed, 1000 miles from us, and walking. What threat do they pose? None. And like usual, Trump supporters are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
Coupla things:
1. What makes you think this caravan is supported by Trump or the administration? I mean, that's your implication - as if this whole thing is geared to instill fear right before the elections. What do you base this belief on?
2. How are the migrants walking thirty or more miles a day, old people, kids, overweight people, moms pushing strollers, etc.
3. How do you know they are unarmed?
The administration has a duty to protect our borders and to facilitate LEGAL immigration, to know who is in our country and why, etc. We already have nearly 1400 illegal immigrants entering the US, the vast majority along our southern border, every day - add another several thousand to that - in one day.
What do you suggest the administration does? What are your ideas about how to facilitate this situation?
I noticed it makes them all feel warm and fuzzy to post the word invaders for undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers.
Indeed. In their parlance, America is somehow a fortress. Those who are outside of it, are either enemies (if they have no interest of getting in) or invaders (if they do). Once inside, they're "parasites". Simple, pat, beguiling lexicon....
Didn't read the article but it would appear to me that offering work visas would just encourage more and more to come! I'd rather we "actually" fix our immigration system.
Half of all our illegals are here from that mess. Visa overstays.
