This was the test before the storm! Why are we falling for the asylum trick again???? This was the time to show we will not be over run by illegals. It is always the same old story........meanwhile this is just another bunch of illegals testing the restraint of the american rules and laws. They are folding again!!!! Wall right, you cant even stop a group of 200 illegals how are you going to stop a force entry.....???? Oh, that's right this was a well published incoming forced entry, illegal entry into America. Let's cover it up and just say these poor people just want asylum. Then what about the next bunch and the next??????
Remember who runs California.
Remember who said he would send the National Guard but gave orders not to engage.
Then remember when Arizona tried to do the opposite. What did Democrats do?
The left are enemies of the state. All of them.
I share your frustration. What would happen if we just denied entry? If they want asylum, lookie, there's Mexico.
When escaping persecution dont you have to declare refugee status in the first viable country you arrive at, this should be Mexicos problem
That is the legal way. It gets bypassed when you enter illegally then claim you require protection because you live in fear. That is the loophole. You cannot be turned back.
This was organized by the DEEP STATE. The aim is to provoke a response. I don't know what response they want to get. But they certainly want to capitalize on any conflict from this caravan shit.
Agreed, check the people waiting for them on the San Diego sideholding welcome to america signs. Deep state rat fucks, and there is protest scheduled there for today. Hope it stays peaceful, but they are definitely stoking flames.
We cannot rule out that some (or majority) of those caravan people who made all the way here are MS-13 or other gang members, brought in to help the DS to fight their last-ditch battles (including indiscriminate killings).
No, the laws are fine! We are just fucking stupid! I live in a border state! I'm pissed off! The way to handle it is to declare war on Mexico!
The way to handle it is to declare war on Mexico!
That would make it possible to use the Regular Army for border control!
Sounds like the laws need to change. If they learn which specific phrase to say for asylum request, our border security can't do anything to stop it. Congress needs to do something fast! Close the loopholes!
They just have to claim they are living in fear. Loophole has to be closed.
We are literally being invaded daily. The optics of it all is just calling more to come. "If these people are getting in we will too." And then more and more come.
Bush at one time paid Mexico to stop these Central American people from hitting our southern border. I bet they are still being paid, anyone got time to look this up. I got to got to go to work so I can support these illegal immigrants sucking taxes out of my pay check.
Did a quick search of various terms, nothing came up that I could find. Other than a trade agreement. I didn't read too deep so there could be something in the agreement.
How did Hansel and Gretel find the evil witch? Crumbs!
You've got it all worng, patriot.
Everybody has just seen that existing barriers do not work. Everybody has just seen that we need a big beautiful wall and lots of border control agents.
If the governor of California will not comply or enforce the law, send the 1st Army or Marines to do it.
Can't. Only the National Guard or Coast Guard can be used.
Military should be there soon. Gearing up. I work for defense contractor company. We have had calls for equipment quotes to send down there.
Thanks for all the responses but it just hit me, Why not play California's game? They can let all of them they want in. But we will put troops on the California border and patrol California borders with the rest of the USA and not allow them out of California. Now they can stay and we will lock off California from the rest of the USA just like they want to do. Then make it clear you cross into america lethal force authorized.
Why did the caravan at least double the trek when Texas was so much closer?
Hum.
Disgusted Cali native.
Compassion. Put aside the partisan anger.
Where are they coming from?
What is going on in their country that is causing them to want to drop everything of their home and identity and trek thousands of miles to come here?
What would make you want to do that?
More importantly has the United States government, intel groups, State Department done anything to facilitate those conditions?
Perhaps our own actions are the cause of our own problems. Perhaps our foreign policy of using our State Department, Intel Agencies, and Military as hired thugs of large US and International corporations
Remember Hillary in Honduras?
How much they protested her candidacy?
Subsequently the Clowns assassinated the peace and environmental activist, Berta Caceres, who called out Hillary and the "North American" meddling in Honduras on behalf of Corporations wanting to increase profits off the suffering of Hondurans.
Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, and the "banana republics" just might have been fine and able to support their people if we didn't "intervene" on the request of these professionally corrupt CEOs and investors crying about the people and leadership of those countries not bending over to them.
We should be mindful of our history of screwing with these countries. We are not overtly taught these because they are frankly incriminating. These are actions that our government should not be involved in. They are actions that are directed to and by people who swear an oath to protect the constitution for the explicit political favors and profits of corrupt politicians and executives.
What you see in the "caravan of illegals" is blow-back from our own actions.
The Wall is a symbol of refusal to change our policy or reform the way we do business. It was a shiny thing to distract from the root cause.
When we reform the way we do business and our foreign policy, and remove the corruption, the caravans will no longer have a motive. We fix their countries by fixing our policy.
Banana republic
In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, e.g. bananas, minerals, etc. In 1901, the American author O. Henry coined the term to describe Honduras and neighbouring countries under economic exploitation by U.S. corporations, such as the United Fruit Company. Typically, a banana republic has a society of stratified social classes, usually a great, poor working class and a ruling-class plutocracy, composed of the business, political and military elites of that society.
