Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!

Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.

Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.

From the video I saw the Mexican police or whoever they were just stood there and watched them walk by. Locking a gate does not equal trying to stop them.

"Change laws"?

Mr. President, illegal entry into the United States is already a crime.

It sounds to me like the issue is an unwillingness to enforce the laws we already have.

Yeah, with all the gusto of putting Amdro on a fire ant hill expecting that to get rid of your problem.

Let's remember folks, this new president of Mexico is an avowed socialist. He doesn't give a rat's arse about our border laws.

Mexican gov announced beforehand that the LEOs were present to keep the peace, not to exclude the protesters.

Let them cross as a mob. It will be fantastic propaganda for midterms.

He's talking out the laws regarding handling them once they are feet dry.

At this point it has to be the military. With an angry mob of 10,000, confidence swollen with the victory tactic of "We just push thru and they will fold", A military force of equal numbers is needed. Anyone who doesn't realize this is a fool. When they succeed in pushing thru, what do you think the reaction will be from other masses of criminal slime?

Might be time to put more effort in defending our own border than we do in defending South Korea's.

I took it to mean the laws dictating a response to an invasion of violent criminal scum like the "caravan" need to change. By Any Means Necessary. Do what needs to be done and if the alt-left complains, let them work their whine thru the courts.

Whats the protest? Everything I read suggests this is a migrant caravan.

Nope. Initial report was that the police were sent to the border to "process" those coming into Mexico. We see how that went. They were overwhelmed just like our border agents will be if we don't come up with a plan B.

Wait... I thought they were migrants fleeing persecution. They are just protesters? Shoot em with rubber bullets and water cannons if they even so much as attempt to cross our border.

I think he is taking about the law that allows anyone other than Mexican to not be sent back immediately. They have to be processed.
