Doesn't matter the truth still stands. You and yours have been on this forum every day whining and crying hysterically that we have put troops on the border to stop this caravan from entering our country illegally.

So the DHS is lying? Prove otherwise then.

Example, DHS asks when will "the caravan" will arrive at the US border. They answer 4 days to two weeks from Oct. 31. Well, the caravan is still 800 miles from the US border. At the time they answered the question they were well over a thousand miles away. They know that. But this crap they post is meant to scare and it has worked for those most susceptible to scare tactics. Namely, Republicans.

Wow...just...wow

Since it doesn't fit your narrative, then it can't be true, correct?

You do understand that they can't give an exact time and day, don't you? Some days they mostly are walking, other days they get rides on trucks.

This "group of peasants" forced their way into Mexico and injured police officers. Do you seriously think that when they arrive at the US border and are turned away, they will go away peacefully?

And, yes, it is "a national security threat" because we know nothing about these people. Already, criminals have been found in the caravan --- some who had been deported previously.

If you think that everybody in this caravan is sweet, innocent and won't hurt a fly, then I have some oceanfront property in AZ to sell to you.

There were some trucks, etc. that were helping to move them along sooner so under that scenario some could have arrived within that time frame. So 4 days is/was a possibility with the long range of 2 weeks. Why is that hard to comprehend? Right now most in the caravan are only 650 miles from our border. That's a day or two's trip in a vehicle.


What about the rest of the comments from the DHS? Are those lies also?
