none of them need to be let in

...and this is putting it right in the face of everyone in this country

No one could have come up with a better advertisement for build the wall.....
Can you tell me exactly how the caravan is the fault of the Dems?

Either Trump will let them in - and discourage the base.

Trump will will be forced to turn this into an ugly scene by those provoking the issue. Understand - Trump is responding to actions done beyond his control, but it will be spun into Trump has caused this, and he hates immigrants. The media spin is already in place.

Get your minds ready to deal with this.

Also note... hurricane is due to hit Mexico. That may play a factor as well.

You are right on target!!
However, the media and left are depending on their ability to manipulate the masses. Hope they are wrong this time, but ... (from similar thread):

Isn't it coincidental that these 5000-8000? people suddenly decided to leave their homes and families and march 1000 miles through Mexico toward the U.S. border (with winter approaching) - timing their arrival just before the midterm elections?

Who is feeding and sheltering this mob? Where will they go (sanctuary cities?) and what will they do, even if they did walk across the U.S. border en mass? (Reality: This is an orchestrated protest, not a thousands of Central American immigrants simply seeking asylum in the U.S.)

If the U.S. does respond in force (which we must do), who will benefit from the manufactured media and political outrage over "families being torn apart" and "attacks on poor, innocent people only seeking a better life in the U.S."?

It's not rocket science! -Watch and see who (besides the media), whips-up a frenzy and seeks to gain sympathetic midterm votes, based on the U.S. government response to this protest!

IMO, Trump should do exactly what the media doesn't want him to do -- ignore the issue and move on. Dispatch the national guard to assist with border patrol if needed and call it a day.

There are far more pressing matters to attend to right now.

So Trump should just ignore thousand of invaders crashing our border? How would he be ignoring it by dispatching the National Guard, etc. No, right now there isn't anything more pressing than these invaders crashing our border. There is no way that Trump will look bad for protecting our borders as he is sworn to do so. Who cares what idiot bleeding hearts and ethnocetnrics think?

This President should be able to deal with it without all the hand wringing and fuss.

They are turning themselves in it's up to the Trump administration to determine if anyone gets in or not.

Jesus. Can't he deal with anything without making a huge deal out of it?

So tired of Trump's drama and fear stoking.
I don't understand people yelling this is the fault of the Dems. How in the world is that true? And I agree, Trump has control over all three branches of government and the Supreme Court I might add. He needs to deal with it. But he won't because he is incapable. All he is capable of doing is stoking his base with hatred.

He definitely misses a lot of opportunities to outwit and outclass the democrats. So many instances where he ends up taking their bait and looking foolish.

It makes me cringe. Trump could benefit even more if he would just take the high-road on issues... it's no risk and all gain.

What could he do about it? It was in Mexico. If it makes you feel better continue to blame Obama for what is a relatively minor thing.
what "could" he do about it? Hmmm, i dont know..maybe tell Mexico to enforce its own draconian immigration laws? Instead, Obummer just looks the other way while they do whatever they want when it comes to ours..

How in the hell would we have the manpower to screen 8,000 foreigners at our border? Where are they going to stay while this is going on and who's going to pay for their upkeep? They need to be sent back to their countries to apply at their embassies for asylum not sit on our border to do it.
