Wanting our immigration laws enforced and our border secured does not equate to being scared or angry it's about our laws and why they are in place. Typical lefty using asinine words such as "Trumpists". You guys cant' be civil no matter what.


We don't need a caravan coming here to continue to vote for Trump or any other Republicans. The fact that Trump has already promised to secure our border is enough for me. Oh, you and your guarantees they mean nothing nor would it change our votes anyway.


The suckers are those who defend and support an invasion of our country. Why would you do that?
Well the other 'caravans' started out big too. These people aren't 'crashing our borders". Typical hyperbole. They are going to a port of entry to request asylum.

Don't you worry - Trump ain't gonna let them in.

Yep. Trump is wagging the dog with this one and ya'll (as usual) fell for it hook line and sinker.

Again, betcha Trump NEVER mentions the caravan again come November 7. It's a dog and pony show for you.

Lastly, IF we can be called 'leftists" constantly - why do you take such offense at 'Trumpist"? Goodness such thin skin. Go find a safe place before those 'invaders' STORM into your neighborhood and steal your babies . . . . Ahhhhhhh!

Ya'll are just getting yourselves worked up over NOTHING - just the way Trump wants it. HE thinks Trumpists won't come out and vote unless they are scared or angry.

This so-called caravan won't be here until Thanksgiving IF then so why is Trump putting troops on the border now? Oh, because it makes for excellent pre-election coverage for his base. That's it.

I guarantee you come November 7 - you will not hear a peep outta the Trump administration about this 'caravan'.

Suckers.
If so he’s a smart politician, right? He’s doing what the people want.

Lightbulb Another caravan on the way. Will it arrive before the midterms?

Arrive before the midterm election?


Not unless they get some transport. They're still over 1000 miles away. If they can walk 20 miles/day (doubtful) that would put them more than 50 days out.

Oh by the way Mexico has a limited universal health care system but American living in Mexico are not eligible.

Although legal foreign residents with Residente Temporal or Residente Permanente can apply for Mexico’s IMSS health insurance on a voluntary basis (you don’t have to be employed here to access it), most foreign residents who can afford to do so will take out a private medical insurance plan that covers their personal needs and gives them direct access to private doctors, clinics and hospitals in Mexico. Visitors in Mexico under the auspice of a visitor visa (FMM) are not eligible for IMSS health insurance.

There is no existing agreement with Mexico that requires them to apply for asylum there first.

U.S. officials believe a deal known as a “Safe Third Country Agreement,” could prove a deterrent to thousands of Central Americans who travel through Mexico each year to seek U.S. asylum, clogging immigration courts and causing a headache for U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

Yet despite growing U.S. pressure for it to accept the treaty, Mexico views the proposal as a red line it will not cross, according to the briefing note prepared for Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray for a meeting he had with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in Guatemala on Tuesday.

“Mexico is not in the position to accept a safe third country agreement, as the United States has proposed on previous occasions,” the note says. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-m...-idUSKBN1K23BA

You can bet your puppy that the left and the ACLU will attempt to lawyer them up and tell them what to say to achieve asylum and because of their mass numbers they will be release (I believe there are about 70K pending cases) with a court date they have no intention to keep because there is no way to track them once they leave the border area.


A solution, that I am sure the left and the ACLU will oppose,...put a tracking chip on their body.

Doesn't mean that this caravan won't continue to be big once they reach our border. Several from the last one did indeed enter illegally they didn't go to a port of entry to request asylum and that's why all the whining and crying about their kids being separated from them.


I'm not worried. I believe Trump will put a stop to it this time. What exactly are we supposedly falling for hook, line and sinker? Why would he need to mention the caravan come November? We already know about it.


Why don't you call us righties instead? Wouldn't that be more like the word lefties? Oh, but that wouldn't be demonizing Trump himself if you did that. Can't have that, can you? It's not about thin skin it's about debating like an adult instead of using juvenile remarks and personal attacks.


Being a snarky smart a** with your last sentence just proves that you people can't be civil and belittling an invasion of our border also tells me that you have no respect for our immigration laws. Why do I get the feeling that you're Hispanic? You probably wouldn't admit it anyway as it would be a tell all. Why would they steal American babies? WTH does that even mean? You've gone off the deep end now.

Geez! I see that you are avoiding answering the questions.

It's apparent that you can't answer them so you resort to insults.

I'd like to know the answers, too. And, no I'm not "grumpy".

First of all, anybody who lives in another country illegally needs to face the consequences of said country's immigration laws.

Second, this thread isn't about illegal Americans living in Mexico. If you want to discuss this particular topic, then start a separate thread about it.

Mexico should round them up and ship them back south. Last time I was in the Chiapas region of Mexico, near the Guatemala border, Federal police routinely boarded the busses I was on to check passports and IDs looking for illegals.
