So what exactly do they plan on doing? They want work they were OFFERED WORK by the Mexican Government! They plan on living off of welfare here!? I hope President Trump uses everything available to stop them. Shoot them if need be.
No, unless they try to physically harm anyone they shouldn't be shot. That is *exactly* what some of the pro-illegal immigrant types want, a tragedy that creates sympathy and support for their agenda/cause.
If you watch the youtube videos of the volunteer border patrol types, they are very adamant about not engaging the illegal migrants directly; they hold in place and alert the Border Patrol with what they saw so they can handle it.
That is one of the reasons I believe the U.S. Army's Special Forces unit(s) have been sent. They are skilled warrior diplomats who know when, where and how to use force. They have the maturity and experience to know how international incidents can be set off if things are not handled properly. They speak the language of the people they're likely to encounter and work with and their presence should be a calming one, not an alarming one.

That depends on your definition of "easily absorb," as well as the end game expectation of the desired quality of life. Let's also not forget how much more room Mexico has because so many of their countrymen are IN THE USA.

I don't believe Trump had his facts straight when he declared what types of criminals (beyond the types that cross illegally) were in the caravan. That said, only a fool would believe each and every illegal migrant had a bright shiny halo. If they're willing to begin their "stay" in a foreign country by breaking a law, what else are they willing to do to remain?
Speaking of the media asking Trump for evidence however... there was no evidence against Judge Kavanaugh and it didn't stop the liberal side from treating allegations as facts now did it?

I believe this was planned very well. In fact, I think the caravan(s) will arrive *just* in time for Christmas, when it will be easy to tug at the politically moderate fence-sitters' heart strings through a series of "awwwww" media stories.
Along with calling the caravan an "invasion" ofcourse the BRAINLESS MORON is implying that our military is going to fire upon those people, because he is toooooooo freaking stupid to even know about~
It becomes fake news when the photos are re-captioned as current. And I also see the utterly phony Soros mem about funding Black Hate groups. Proven phony by multiple sources including the source quoted.
Why don't you talk to one of the black posters here who was an insider of the original group that included both white people and black people, which was dismantled by BLM? Even he stated Soros funds BLM.
You aren't doing yourselves any good by denying that both sides are nothing but puppets for more powerful elite puppet masters. On the left, it's Soros. I'm still trying to figure out who it is on the right. Koch brothers are involved, but I don't think they're in charge.
Start by reading through the DNC emails that were leaked. You could use the education.

General O'Shaughnessy mentioned during the press conference that Mattis authorized units to be armed. I listened to those words coming out of his mouth.
It will be interesting to see what authority they are going to use for putting armed military troops at the border, by law the only thing they can use a weapon at the border for is in self defense.
I know nothing about photo's. I read that several border police were injured including journalists (assaulted with stones).
Do you have a source for that? If so, it should be in the history of your web browser. I sure would like to see it because I can't find anything about it online.

This implies that they will attempt to cross illegally, what you guys have been claiming won't happen.
Only about 20% of those people qualify for asylum, will the rest trek back to wherever they came from? They should since they don't qualify for asylum or to emigrate.
i Have read that too. But illustrated with the bloody pictures so I would think it phony.
But give a cite and we will go see.
This article says the Mexican border patrol had no weapons but some on the caravan did. Apart from guns, they knocked down the fence and threw rocks, molotov cocktails, and anything they could get their hands on at border patrol.
