I don't care who they are? Are you projecting?

People are people. Economic hardship can push people to do things they'd rather not do.

If these people were europeans or muslim or chinese, it would still be the same.

Again, not justifying, but also not vilifying.

one more, building the wall will save us a lot of heartache with all the criminals crossing, but the immigration policy needs to change. Apparently now all they need to say is that their lives are in danger, then the magic door opens. THAT is what really needs to change. Please vote REPUBLICAN this mid year. We need the majority to get this done.

Thank God for Trump!

The leftist lie about everything and we will see more lies from them as the Honduran parade advances.

Refugees? Sure then, hold them in detention, years if needed, until their case is resolved.

There is no immigration reform needed, what reform is needed? The only thing needed is to enforce the damn laws, and quit catering to them.
It is my understanding that refugees apply for entry outside the US.

An asylum seeker declares, once in country.

No?

The first law we need to change is the anchor baby law. Poor, uneducated people are coming here (often already pregnant) because they know their children, born here, will be supported cradle-to-grave by American taxpayers.
Might be a good challenge for SCOTUS. If deem constitutional, start the process to amend the Constitution.

Simple - just drop off one family at the door of every Democratic voter until they are all permanently placed. You want 'em, you keep 'em.

It will drive additional support for the GOP come election day.
It began just days after Pence met with leaders from Honduras, San Salvador and Guatemala to let them know if they do more to prevent illegal immigration, the US will do more for them.

Looks like 1300 Hondurans did not get the memo.

Is the timing politically motivated to drive additional support for the GOP?

Or a tactic by those who want a wall- never mind who pays for it.

As the crow flies, it’s 1,864 miles between Honduras and the US.

It will take months for this caravan to reach the US on foot.
