Please don't tell me you are believing the Soros conspiracy BS.
This ain't the first time a caravan has tried to enter the US. Other presidents managed to handle it - why can't Trump?
Instead he tweets, rages, makes threats, and stokes fear and drama.
Can't his administration just do their damn job without all the fuss?
Isn't it obvious?? He is hoping for righteous outrage that will translate into Republican votes in November. There is even a general add running that says vote Republican if you don't want the US to turn into the 3rd world.
There used to be a time in politics where such tactics backfired. Apparently not anymore.
This is not about IMMIGRATION. Immigration is a legal process. This is about an ILLEGAL ALIEN invasion. One of the few actual roles of the Federal Government is to secure our borders. For years, they have NOT done their job.
Obama increased the budget for immigration enforcement by 300%. And Obama created the most sophisticated and well-funded deportation force in the history of America" (Obama then handed this deportation machine to Donald Trump.) https://www.thenation.com/article/th...esident-trump/
How could one say Obama did not do his job securing our boarders?

Now we have a President that wants the Feds to actually do their job, and people are upset?
We have a president that uses illegal immigration to rally his political base.

Yes, we need both a physical wall, and a virtual wall using technology to keep ILLEGALS out of the country. We have no way of knowing their backgrounds as they don't go through any process. That is a huge security risk.
Dictator run countries like the USSR and North Korea have boarder walls.
We need better boarder fences, better boarder surveillance, and laws that stop Americans from hiring illegals. But like another poster said, republicans won't pass laws to stop the hiring of illegals because it would mess up the republican corporate donors business networks (plus without laws stopping the hiring of illegals there will be illegals in America, and then republicans can rally their base with the immigration issue.)
Here's a law that would greatly stop illegal immigration and make the illegal immigration problem more manageable. But republicans ignore the law and instead rally their political base.
Can you imagine the outrage if 4000 Canadians wanted to illegally enter Mexico, and we just let them cut through the US to do it?
Mexico needs to step up if they want to salvage relations, as bad as they are now, its going to get alotworse
I agree Mexico needs to do more to control these mass migrations. But Trump hasn't exactly endeared himself to Mexicans with his insults. It takes two to tango.

really? is that what he is "hoping" for? Really? not stopping an illegal invasion? really?

You do understand Trump is not instigating this event, right?
BearGeek40, you and all the Trump supporters can harp endlessly about how badly we need this and that, but until Trump stops treating his presidency like a four year long vacation with Congress cheerleading him the whole time, nothing at all will happen. You want something done? Write to Congress or protest. Until then, nothing of any consequence will occur but more rallies and golf weekends.
Apparently Trump supporters are perfectly OK with Trump being the laziest president ever elected because many of you post threads bragging about how massive the crowds are at his weekly rallies and how popular Trump is as if he is still a reality TV star rather than the president of the United States with actual work to do. You and millions of other voters chose a bobble headed Homecoming King for president, and it's all you and other Trump voters' fault he is accomplishing nothing. Talk is cheap, and POTUS is full of that, for sure.
Write to Congress? Ha Ha
That's a time waster, along with things like watching paint dry.
My time is much too valuable.
