Another caravan on the way. Will it arrive before the midterms? MERGED (location, middle east)

Since they can't do any law enforcement that is a lot of troops to peel potatoes and police the camp grounds. Maybe they can make tortillas and salsa for the new Americanos.

Mexico is a lot better off than Honduras.

Their stated intention is to violate the immigration laws of the United States and stay here illegally.

Then why have a lot of them already given up?

I suspect their main intention is to get out of Honduras to something better - ANYTHING better.

I bet the DEA and border patrol are trying to figure out how they can still allow the drug smugglers to keep coming in but keeping these people out!

well, Military =/= shoot people just because they want to.

They follow strict rules of engagement. I think military will be SAFER for the civilians who just want to come here for a job.

Getting more $$ from the GOP to do the caravan thing than at menial jobs? Somebody is paying the tab for them to continue this charade.

Good, sends a much needed message.

Despite what the article says, I don't believe they were offered jobs. Rather, they were offered the opportunity to find jobs.

Which is a completely different thing. It's like being offered a green card.

They stress the social structure by necessitating special instruction in schools, stressing of police and safety forces due to non-citizen brown-on-brown crime and general gang activity.

Then perhaps the military should concentrate on smoking out all those profiting from cheap labor and paying them those billions, they're a bigger threat to the country than those merely trying to feed their families!

The gravy is much bigger and better in the USA.

Much of the southwest is taken-over by people from south of the border, might as well join the crowd.
