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.
If someone is illegal and they are working then taxes are being taken from their pay.
If they can't file income tax, guess how much the Gov. is collecting from illegals?
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.
Homeland Security officials said Tuesday that among the thousands of migrants heading for the United States border are some “gang members” and people with “significant criminal histories.”
Department spokesperson Tyler Houlton said on Twitter that the caravan, 7,000 migrants strong by some estimates, includes citizens not only of Central American countries, but also of the Middle East, Africa, South Asia and “elsewhere.”
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.
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.
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.
Third migrants’ caravan scheduled to leave El Salvador within the next week
The number of migrants traveling through Mexico could soon reach 10,000
The third wave, believed to have been inspired by the caravan now traveling through Chiapas, is scheduled to leave El Salvador on October 28 and cross the border into via Tecún Umán, Guatemala, according to one report.
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?
If someone divisionall and they are working then taxes are being taken from their pay.

"Fear" of the brown people? Did you invent that all by yourself Naw, just those who people who are" Illegaly" here regardless of where they come from or what color they are.
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.
