I've asked the democrats on here several times now to go on the record saying whether or not that support this, none of them are willing to go on the record.
That speaks volumes, now doesn't it.
While they refuse to answer the question, they will start thread, after thread if there is violence at the border, blaming Trump for this entire event.
It's a problem for them. Not all Democrats support illegal immigration, which is why they don't say anything.
I don't think closing the border will do much. The USA needs to do away with birthright citizenship. No more anchor children. Second, the USA needs to put an end to services to all non legal residence. No welfare for illegal aliens. Third, crack down on business owners who employ illegal aliens by heavy fines and jail. The objective is to remove the incentives for wanting to come here.
There are 7000 people at the gate NOW. We don't have time to pass legislation. Too late for removing incentives or waiving e-Verify at them. They don't care. In a way I am happy it's happening. It makes politicians take sides. Have you heard a peep from a single Democrat? One of them couldn't hold back his rage any longer and said "it's a difficult situation."
Clearly you don't know what it means to be a refugee because you believe what Trump believes, that the Dems are behind all this and that these people are all part of some smuggling ring. Nevermind that there thousands of people are a bunch of families who are just trying to do what YOUR ancestors once did - fleeing a dangerous country in hopes of seeking asylum from deadly gangs and corrupt government.
To answer your question, the proper thing any country can do is to hear these people's cases and accept those who truly will be in harms way if we send them back. Assimilate them and educate them so they become productive members of our society. THAT's the humane thing to do, but it's clear that being humane is something you have no concept of...
They aren't refugees. If they really just wanted to "escape" from Honduras they could stay in Guatemala, or somewhere in the 1,500 miles of Mexico they'll need to cross. They want to come and leech off the US. According to the left Mexico is a great place full of good, honest, hardworking people so there is no need for these Honduran refugees to continue past Mexico, they should be seeking asylum in Mexico if all they really want is an escape from Honduras.
Maybe YOUR ancestors were fleeing a dangerous country looking for asylum when they came to America, but mine weren't. They LEGALLY immigrated to the land of opportunity without looking for a handout.
I think that it will be perceived as lawlessness and disrespect from other countries. They could have easily sought refuge in Mexico, yet they refused. Trump is using this to full effect which riles his base.

No, it's not a problem for democrats at all. They aren't in charge so they can't really do anything. It could very well be a problem for republicans depending on how they handle this.

I would support the right of any oppressed person to approach the US border and request asylum. And if the person has a good case we should admit them.
Do i support admitting 5,000 people in a caravan? Of course not. Deal with them kindly and gently...hear their stories and let those with the appropriate ones into the US. Send the rest home.
We will of course not be able to deal with them appropriately due to the over load on our immigration system driven by the huge number of illegals present in the US.
What to do? Reduce the number to something we can handle. The only way to do that is obvious. But we will likely let the problem drag on a few more years before we break down and do the obvious.
Ohh and yes we will blame our screwed up system on the immigrants and George Soros. Neither of which had anything to do with the mess we have created by our own hand.
I'm really worried about this. We've never had anything like this. I am hearing reports that the group has grown to 10K, and likely to grow as another listmate stated. This cannot end well for anyone--not the citizens of the US and certainly not the travelers. This must be the collateral damage Pelosi was talking and shrugging about.
Hoping our military can create a human barrier similar to the phalanx formation with shields to keep them pushed back. Let them keep crashing into our lines, have months of supplies and food sent to the border. Work in shifts and spotlight the border at night. Eventually they will tire and exhaust their supplies and retreat back to Mexico.
Some will get through or around and we will round up and deport. If the migrants show violence on our troops it will only hurt their cause.
You do realize the military would have to do this on the Mexican side of the border if Mexico let's them, right?
