In the photos there are so many men mixed in how are we supposed to know who the 270+ criminals are ? I fully support our troops heading down to the border. God bless them.

Just how many people do you think the boarder patrol handles a day?

Seriously, you believe anything Trump tells you.

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/201...igrant-caravan

Quote:
TAPACHULA, Mexico -- No one here has seen any "unknown Middle Easterners" among the Central Americans heading north through Mexico.
Quote:
But watching the enormous procession march through the streets of southern Mexico, the most striking thing about the group's demographic is how varied it is.
Quote:
In many cases, they literally are babies. But in general, the best way to think about the caravan is not as a concentrated group of good or bad people, or young or old people, or asylum seekers or economic migrants.

Instead, it's as if an entire town collected its belongings in backpacks and plastic bags, and started walking north.

The organizers here have stopped referring to the group as a caravan.

They prefer another word: "Exodus."
Think about the Russian Pogroms and entire villages their escaping their persecutors. This is what the caravan is like. The characteristic feature of Jewish migration was the migration of whole families.

So when is Mexico supposed to pay for it? Never?

Yeah, that international border in Alabama doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

Exactly we need new, tougher laws against illegals. What we're doing now isn't working.

How does this caravan or Trump's actions have any effect on the elections? Are you seriously claiming that without the above that Republicans would have stayed home or voted Democrat instead? You people are truly delusional!


Once again a deployment costs more. Look it up or just think logically. Travel, housing( costs of permanent does not go away when on the road), medical units and other duplicate costs, movement of helicopters and other vehicles and equipment and other supplies etc etc etc . Your assessment is simplistic and ignorant.


Now the caravan: Multiple sources and analysis reveal similar opinions as to this being a Trump stunt. I have found a source that perhaps you will find credible. Fox News:

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith on Monday repudiated claims by President Donald Trump of the risks posed by a so-called caravan of migrants making its way toward the U.S. border.
"‘There is no invasion. No one’s coming to get you. There’s nothing at all to worry about."
According to Fox News reporting, the migrants are more than two months away — if any of them actually come here" Smith said on the air Monday. “ the midterm election, is what all of this is about.”


Now the election: Trump loudly, and with misinformation and outright lies is stoking anti-immigrant rhetoric and drumming up fear ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, and that message is meant to scare his base just as he did in 2016. Making people afraid and telling them who they should blame...his MO. Appears to be working on you.

What price do you want to put our nation's security? Funny how you liberal lefties don't mind one iota that illegals cost us over $100 billion a year and yet you b*tch about the costs of border security. The troops are there now in hopes that many in the caravan will turn back when they hear of them and with the rumors of buses and trucks helping them along the way they could be here much sooner than expected.


Oh yeah, "opinions" LOL! I couldn't care less about opinions including those on Fox News. Opinions aren't facts! Again, how is this about the mid term elections? Were Republicans not going to the polls without this caravan incident? You and yours are grasping at straws now.


I guess you don't know the difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien? Trump opposes the latter not legal immigrants. Now who's the liar? It seems all the fear is on your side. Fear of once again losing the election. I'm not afraid of anything. This country is turning back in the right direction and that's the lefty liberals fear.

You seem triggered. Did you watch the Shep Smith video? Here it is for you.

This is all about trying to invoke panic and fear before the midterms, just like Shep says.
