It should not be hard. Last time only about 200 showed up at the border, so the troops are going to be bored to death.

Food for Thought:

Donald Trump, his party and right-wing media portrayed this caravan of Central American migrants as an invading army. Though the group is weeks away from the U.S. border, and unlikely to actually cross it, he tells us it is the most urgent threat to American security. Trump ridiculously said that the migrants are hiding and aiding Middle Easterners. Right-wing commentators accused Democrats and liberals, including Jewish American financier George Soros, of funding the enterprise to flood the country with illegal voters. And then Bowers, the synagogue shooter, posts fearfully about nonsense such as this and arms himself and posts "I'm going in".


I'd rather my president stop fanning the flames of fear that incite people and their hate and do more to unite us and pay attention to the real threats facing the citizens of America. It is shameful that we have a president who is using his power and voice in an effort to terrify white Americans into voting for his party.

Truth is I don't think the Gov. wants illegals that are working here to go away anytime soon, I think this is an issue that Trump seized on to look good and fire up his base. "fear" of the brown people.
How are they paying taxes with NO social security number?

Think about the implications from Govt taking payroll taxes from a NON-Citizen!!! WOW.

Besides that, nearly every job today requires a pre-employment background check...not able to complete on without a SS number.

It's increasingly remarkable that the liberals in the U.S. are willing to let such people into the country if it offers them the slightest chance to bash President Trump.

Just how sick are our brethern on the Left?

No over 400, and 370+ passed the fear test. Not only that but look how many continue to pour in each month illegally. Its seriously out of control we as a country have a right to protect our border.

Did you all catch that? "Scheduled." That means that these caravans aren't just spontaneous road trips; they are planned and arranged ahead of time. So who is doing the planning and arranging? And given that the participants are invariably described as "impoverished," who is funding all this?

Including Special Forces units! AWESOME!
I am wondering how they cross Mexico. Does Mexico let them freely to pass through their land on purpose?

Good. We still have a border!
These people are going to be met with force if they decide to break in, illegally.

The odds that out of 7,000 people a few would be criminals or have bad intentions. Just the law of averages. Anyone stating "not one person in the caravan is dangerous or a criminal" is lying to themselves.
