Soros! At least, according to Glenn Beck.
So...who is funding Pueblos Sin Fronteras? Do tell.

How about we send them all to Canada?

First of all, It has been repeated time and time again---they aren't walking the whole way. There are photos of them riding in trucks. In fact, one of them died when he fell of a flatbed truck.

We don't need "[these] kind of hard working immigrants". We have plenty of unskilled American citizens who have been displaced by illegals or have seen their wages depressed.

Are you even aware that this group forced their way into Mexico? No one needs people who behave so badly here.

We have practically 0 unemployment.

Are you willing to open up your own home to these "sweet innocent people who wouldn't hurt a fly"? After all, you libs think that these caravan members are like that. So, what do you have to lose by opening up your own home to them?

so..I will be anxiously waiting for you to post the source where you got your information from
I heard it during the press conference.

Do you actually think the troops are going down there with sharp sticks and harsh words?

Underemployed people are considered to be employed. Part-time workers who want full-time work are considered to be employed. The truth is that many contractors in the construction industries have lost their livelihood due to the fact that they can't compete with sleazy contractors who hire illegals and pay them under the table.

These people in the caravans are functionally illiterate plus unskilled. We don't need them here competing with unskilled American citizens.

Besides, what happens when a recession hits? We don't need these people taking jobs during hard times for Americans.

You know, not all weapons go boom...right?

Now, they specifically don't call it a weapon, but it can cause permanent hearing loss....

The 500x is also capable of short bursts of directed sound that cause severe headaches in anyone within a 300-meter range. Anyone within 15 meters of the device's audio path can experience permanent hearing loss. LRAD claims the device is not a weapon, but a "directed-sound communication device."

What makes you think that the Mexican economy/social structure can easily absorb them? Do you have proof of that?

I'm sure they will have many crowd-disbursement weapons, but they should have real weapons on hand just in case they need to defend themselves against the invaders.
