Under Obama the illegal crossings were ignored because there was nothing to gain politically in calling attention to them.



Does anyone think it is odd that this large group has set out to arrive at our border right before the midterms?

I hope this strategy backfires on the Dems just as the Kavanugh circus did and Granny Warren sharing her DNA.



There is a right way and a wrong way to immigrate to America and the Dems don't care.
Obama was a master at deporting illegals.

That said - of course there are border crossings; there always have been. Though it continues to drop except for an uptick last year.

What I SAID was - I don't recall caravans of 4000 people arriving at once.

Did I miss it?

Yes, they have. They crashed it after Mexican police threw some tear gas at them and then retreated.

Yeah. In fact, they encourage it. Just read the nitwit posts above.
Some media figures want everyone to believe that this parade just started spontaneously - you know, with no sponsor of any sort.


No, it's a statement. A test.
Few of them will reach the US. In the past they have been taken back to Mexico. Preparations are being made to take the ones who make it across back to Honduras. Gonna have to pay the coyote all over again.

They are at the southern Mexico-Guatemala border.
They’ve already made it through Guatemala.

CD writers pick it up and run with it. Hoping it goes viral.
What conspiracy theory are you talking about? Where did he spread it? On Twitter? Perhaps I've missed it somehow.

There is a conspiracy that the magical George Soros has sponsored this caravan.

trump and his moronic core of supporters just can’t figure out why a nation has no interest in helping you after two years of demonizing them.
What a stupid comment. It isn't about "helping Trump" JFC, it's about helping this country. You have no problems with disrespectful law breakers charging into your country - where you will get to pay for them just because you think "orange man bad".

More crime, more natural resources used up and abused - what happened to "climate change, you guyz, it's man made, you need to recycle and stop having so many babies" - scream for $15/hour - yet you all squeal in delight when hordes come over. What a great strategy, and no damn clue how it affects you, as well.

Illegal aliens do not just affect Republicans. The stupidity of this post cannot even be measured.

As a Democrat I'm really disgusted by anyone in favor of illegals. And you're right - they are gleeful in the thought of them entering as though political earworms have eaten away their brains.
