I still don't understand how posters here can defend a large group of illegals coming into our country. Their own countries need fixed or the problem persists. It isn't the problem of the U.S. We need to help our own homeless first. Why aren't Americans and media focusing on that? We cannot absorb more illegals to take our low-wage jobs and social services that's meant for our own citizens.

Default Migrant Mob Progress as of Oct. 30,2018 (c-pics)

Migrant Mob Progress as of Oct. 30,2018 (c-pics)


See attached pictures of XLS file and maps.

Mob has been heading roughly west for days now, which is the route to California or Arizona. The have missed several turnoffs which would take them to Texas, but there will be more turnoffs coming up.

Reports say there are fewer bandits, thieves, kidnappers etc. on the California route than on the Texas route. Plus, with Calif declaring itself a "Sanctuary State", many migrants say it is the more desirable desination, despite it being a longer journey.

Pure b.s. It doesn't matter what group of people, there's bound to be a few soft and lazy ones. But all of them, nope, not even most of them...and the worst - the know-it-alls, which comes in all colors, shapes and sizes.

"Nearly three-quarters of those in the caravan of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico to the United States are adult men, a senior Border Patrol official told the Washington Examiner.

Families and unaccompanied children make up "about 20 to 30 percent" of the caravan, according to Roy Villareal, deputy chief patrol agent of the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector.

"The rest of that is single, adult males," Villareal said during a recent tour of the region."
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...order-official

The article also said that single parent families and kids would not be prosecuted for entering our country illegally.

And, the article also said that each person in the caravan would have to have up to $9,000 to pay the coyotes .. and the migrants, and the left, says that they, the migrants, are poor. One single mother with two kids = up to $27,000. Darn, they are almost rich, certainly richer than our poor. I doubt our own poor would have enough left over each month to save $9k per person. wtf

You certainly have some bigoted assumptions. Is the above^^^^an excuse for you to hire cheap, exploitable, illegal labor?

As for construction --- Are there local vo-tech programs that train students in the construction trades?

What do you consider to be "decent money"? Would it be enough to survive during a slowdown? Would it be enough to have a family live on one income?

Has it ever occurred to you that Americans have seen how illegals have come along and displaced them? Don't you think that a young person who is thinking about entering the construction trades would be worried about losing out to an illegal? For example, someone may want to start their own business. This person is honest and pays his/her taxes and insurance. With all the illegals around, they now have to worry about being outbid by a sleazebag contractor who hires illegals and pays them under the table.

You want American citizens who are qualified? Then you know darn well that you have to offer a good wage plus safe working conditions.

Once again, it's a far left wing group that is organizing these caravans:

Sure the far left organized the caravan just before the election so Trump and the GOP could use it as a tool in the midterms, makes sense.

I cannot believe the hysteria on this issue. These people are seeking asylum, as people are entitled to do under our laws.

FAkE NeWz!!! It's a false flag operation, with a bunch of crisis actors hired by the Mercers to march northward, just in time for the midterm elections to help President P*ssygrabber rile up the deplorables
to vote R next Tuesday.

Come on, man! The timing is just too perfect. It's obviously the radical right pushing their agenda.

Wake up, sheeple!
