Hey look it's a loser liberal beta male not understanding what an invasion is! You are such a beta male you would try and reason with an intruder in your home instead of shoot him dead. Actually you'd probably cower in the corner crying and letting the perp do whatever he wants as it takes the cops 10 minutes to reach your home. No surprise here. Your thought process is why we are in this situation in the first place. Free everything for illegals! That is why they are coming here. For the freebies and wreak havoc on American society. If you think a caravan of 4,000 plus foreigners are able to make it 2,000 plus miles in 2 weeks right before the midterm election you don't understand how sinister the left is. Who is funding this? Who is behind this? These people are being used as props by the Democrats for votes. Democrats are so power hungry they will promote invasion to try and gain it back.

So much to unpack.....to be crystal clear;

The caravan thing is getting to be more than a distraction. It is an issue....they shouldn't be allowed to just stroll in. They need to follow our laws. I am not afraid of them "invading" the country nor am I afraid of allowing qualfied folks in to the country, as long as they add value.

Banito - I would warn you, you really wouldn't want to come in to my house uninvited. This beta is good to go headbang1

All of your other questions.....I have no clue

All these invaders are men. This is a threat to our soverneighty. This needs to be stopped by all means necessary. Trump needs to send the military to the border and send them back. If it comes to bloodshed, so be it. Build the damn wall already. Stupid Democrats who oppose the wall, are big time hypocrites because they live in houses with walls. Why? To keep things out! (weather, bugs, bad guys etc.)

You betchya, Bubba, just like we've done in the past to protect ourselves.

With all the tough guy (hot air, big talkers) Trump supporters we have in this country it's hard to figure how the military is having a hard time making quota. Would think there'd be a bunch of tough guys like yourself lining up to go on such a mission*. Hypocrites? Don't be one yourself, march on down to Uncle Sam's recruiting office and sign right up. Leave your keyboard at home though, can't hide behind it while mowing down the unarmed.
(* I don't believe these folks should be allowed to just march into this country without going through the proper channels/requirements for admission)

Forget Trump Hysteria, Here’s How the Migrant Caravan ‘Crisis’ Really Began

..

[jhu72]

Caravan made about 25 miles yesterday, rested overnight in Huixtla, 1,140 miles from the nearest border crossing. They are expected to rest for the next 24 hours. On the ground size estimate is 7,233 individuals by UN observers. 1,128 have applied for asylum in Mexico. About 2000 are men. The remaining 5000 are made up of women and children.

News report.

The Fake News.

that's what you take from the pics and videos, that 80% are woman and kids? It's beyond laughable. Even the BBC reporter says the majority of the caravan are young men (b/c, in this misogynisctic liberals mind, woman can't make the "arduous" journey )

These are not women and children. You are FAKE NEWS. This is an invasion of male foreign nationals. Why are you in support of these people? Democrats are losing the black votes I see.

[a fan]

Of course the Democrats have been silent. Since blacks are leaving the Democrat plantation, Democrats need a new group they can prey on and keep voting Democrat. This is why we must never let the Democrats have power again. They are anti American and want a global world take over of this country.

So if all immigrants vote Democrat, why hasn't Trump and Republicans passed an immigration reform bill, and sealed the border? Hell, I'd settle for a bill passing the House at this point. Where is the bill?

Did they forget to write it?

Check this out. Excellent article about the border crisis and invasion by Dr. Joondeph

So in other words, you know full well that your Republican party didn't lift a finger to seal the border, or to reform immigration.

And you don't care. But you think we need to keep voting for them....even thought they aren't actually doing anything about these problems.

Got it.

Read Old Salt's post. He just owned you. Keep lying and trolling.

So in Bandito's world, Republicans don't have a huge majority in the House, and a majority in the Senate.

So you think that the Democrats are in charge of the House, and I'm lying that the Republicans have a majority?

Taking things to the next level, are we?

Nope - on the ground UN monitors are making these claims. I suspect you'll start seeing these kind of numbers from believable MSM news outlets in the next 24 hours. Their claim is 63% women and children. Their numbers are (rounded) 2700 and 4500 to the nearest hundred.

Maybe you should questions your sources for images and videos. No doubt that the front of the line looks like it is made up almost exclusively by males, of various ages, both men and children.


No estimate is mine.

No thoughts on the BBC reporter?

exactly

[jhu72]

from CBS -
It is now being reported that their are two different traveling groups making up the total. They are separated by about 6 hours walking time.
Food and drink is being provided by the Mexican government and the locals themselves. One migrant claims he is eating better than he does at home in Honduras.

Speculation - this may be why the lead group had said this was going to be a rest day. Allow time for the stragglers to catch up.

Perspective on the Northern Triangle situation.

[CU77]

Headline of that article: "The US's actions in Central America are to blame for the migrant caravan leaving Honduras – Trump has to let them in"

Uh, no, he doesn't. I'm as far to the left as anyone here, but IMO this notion is a political disaster for the Democrats (and the left more generally).

David Frum nails it:

When Germany temporarily suspended its border rules in August 2015, almost a million migrants surged into the country within the next four months. That surge continued into 2016. Its political effects linger still: It was crucial to the British vote to quit the European Union, to the election of a reactionary government in Poland, to the political revival of Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and to the collapse of center-left parties in France, Italy, Sweden, and Germany.

Trump’s election owes something to the surge across the U.S.’s southern border in the summer of 2014. Tens of thousands of women and children crossed the border in only a few weeks.
...
For Trump, the caravan represents a political opportunity. Here is exactly the kind of issue that excites more conservative Americans—and empowers him as their blustery, angry champion.

For Trump’s opponents, the caravan represents a trap. Has Trump’s radical nativism so counter-radicalized them that they have internalized the caravan message against any border enforcement at all? If yes, they will not help immigrants. They will only marginalize themselves—and American politics will follow the European path in which anti-immigration parties of the extreme right cannibalize the political center.

If liberals insist that only fascists will defend borders, then voters will hire fascists to do the job liberals will not do.

Trump couldn't have asked for a better gift. Of course he will turn them back.

He SHOULD turn them back, as Frum and CU77 point out. The far left is just being ridiculous these days....

[jhu72]

I don't think any democrat (none I have seen / heard) has seriously proposed allowing these migrants in. Agree it would be a mistake for them to take that position.`

[old salt]

Do our current immigration laws, as implemented by precedent setting court rulings, allow the Trump Admin to do anything other than let them in as asylum seekers, give them a hearing date & let them loose in the US, under "catch & release".

We don't have the facilities to detain them, individually or as families. We can't immediately deport them without a hearing, unless they are Mexican or Canadian citizens.

The loopholes in our laws & governing court rulings allow nothing other than "catch & release".
...that's why they keep coming. (this has to be a ratings boost for The Walking Dead)

The MSM won't crank up the tear jerker stories until after the election.

[Trinity]

Democrats are mocking Trump’s calculated hysteria over the caravan thousands of miles away. If he could stand on stage and scream the N-word, he would.
