Let's say that 2000 people in the caravan make it to the US and are allowed in due to the weak asylum standards, it is just a matter of statistics that out of the 2000 there will be a great many that are looking for a better life where they can work and not fear gangs but there will also be a percentage of criminals that will continue their craft of drug trade, robbery, rape and murder.

Why are we taking a chance with this. I think the problem with the Dems is that their hearts are too big and their brains are too small that they fail to see the societal issues with welcoming in potential criminals.

The same could be asked of the travel pause from terrorist countries. We will never know if that stopped a terrorist from entering and doing his evil but if we would certainly know if he succeeded.

Why are the Dems so willing to take the risk ?
For votes and power. They know that the subsequent generations these people bare will almost assuredly vote Democrat.

The more I think about that term the more I can see it's just another misdirection. The Democrat party has become the least democratic party in history and they certainly do not abide by the Constitution at all.





They will make fantastic law abiding citizens!



right?

I am not surprised at the folks that make up this stuff -- but I'm dumbfounded by the folks who choose to buy into it and repeat it.

If that was the case -- why in goodness gracious do we have Trump in office NOW.

The worst candidate the Republicans have offered up in years and he won.

There is no logic, no rational though process in any of these ridiculous conservative rants

Trump has already issued a statement to the Gov. of Honduras and others that if they do not stop the caravan then they will face loss of further funding.


Trump wrote. "We have today informed the countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that if they allow their citizens, or others, to journey through their borders and up to the United States, with the intention of entering our country illegally, all payments made to them will STOP (END)!"





My question is who is funding these caravans? How can 1500 people walk thousands of miles with small children? What do they drink, eat, where do they go the bathroom? Are there buses to shuttle them along?

Imagine the mess they would leave if they were to march down your street?


Why are they leaving their country in the first place? Who is encouraging them? Who is organizing them? Who is paying for their supplies?



Politically speaking I have a feeling that this group will be reaching America the day before the mid terms and how they are handled (the Dems) are hoping poorly ie. splitting up families again and this mess will be fresh on the minds of voters as they head to the polls.



What a mess.
Many are trying to escape poverty, violence and the effects of climate change. Also illegal immigration is much lower now than in the early 2000s according to this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...rossing-latest

And if your questions are a backdoor way of saying it's the Dems, we ain't buying it. Quit listening to Trump.

Well yeah, look how they just disrespected Mexico's southern border. They were pouring over those barricades like invaders. Mexico had to use tear gas. I wouldn't blame them if they used rubber bullets. This is a bad situation.

DNC: Foreign and migrant brown people good. White native people bad .

You didn’t answer his very pertinent questions. Who is supporting these people? This group is not self sustaining. They are not self organized. They certainly are dresses better than many of our own homeless, including vets. So just try to be intellectually honest for once. How are they doing it? Where is the money coming from? Why are they being organized and funded? Cmon, you can do it. Just fight the leftist brainwashing and think for yourself.
