It's not a few hundred, it's quite a few thousand and they aren't trying to rush a singe location, they're trying to overwhelm the ports of entry and the existing border fences in various locations.

Plenty of tear gas, no doubt,, to repel any invasion.

Our borders will remain secure, especially fortified by the troops our POTUS wisely sent.

Thanks for further clarifying your view although I disagree with police recruits being referred to as "piglets." They are men and willing willing to put their lives on the line to keep others safe.
All the data on other sites supports the numbers. I only have a 9th grade education. /shrug

It never stopped me from succeeding in business and retiring early.

I understand your stance on piglets. We are a state where making jokes about un PC stuff is common. We make lots of jokes based upon race too. Just none of the races CONUS is used to, AND the joke are out in the open, not snide comments behind people's backs.

But like mkpunk's comments, yours seem to come from a good place, and I respect that.

It was a test of the defense. Next time there will be thousands.
When thousands of foreigners are attempting to cross a nations border illegally, what other word other than 'invasion' would you use?

They lie to you asking.. "what caravan" then laugh after being forced to admit it then say "they are so far away".

Everything I've read so far has put it in hundreds not thousands. But by all means post a source saying it is in the thousands.

This is an invasion of criminals. We have immigration laws. They are not optional.

This invasion will be, and should be, repelled.

Once in their home nation, they may start the process of immigrating to our wonderful nation legally.

I posted a link earlier today to a Mexican newspaper stating there were 13,800 people from Central America in Mexico making their way here.
