Why can’t other central / South American countries provide asylum?

Are there no countries in central or South America that can help these people? People don’t want us to police the world but they want us to save everyone.

The same reason these sad down trodden dehydrated souls are passing multiple U.S. embassies to get to the border.

It's a strategy by the globalist Dems to register these people to vote by midterms to take over the house and senate.

That is what is supposed to happen, but these downtrodden can't vote democrat from Costa Rica or Guatemala.

They don't want us to be the world police but they expect us to be the world firefighters and the world EMTs.

The US is fully capable of providing all of them or none of them. None of this pick-and-choose crap.

Because Sorous et. al are paying for the caravan, not for entry into other South American countries.

When do we get a citizen militia together to stop this invasion? Will I be the only on there?

If this was about "asylum" then according to world convention, asylum seekers must seek asylum in the first safe harbor they come to.

In other words, the convention doesn't allow you to traverse one country to seek asylum in another.

This is ENTIRELY about these people wanting to get to the US specifically.

By US standards yes

But they can't have 1000s of out of town relatives show up to live there.

I just heard Rush play a clip of Louie Gohmert(?) and he said that people seeking asylum have to seek it from the first country they enter after leaving their home country.

Simple answer: Its because Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Ecuador hate Hondurans, Guatemalans, and Nicaraguans. Hate as in they won't even hire them to be gardeners because they trust the Venezuelans more for that job and they hate the Venezualans.

It's our karmic payback for fricking around in the region and trying to nation build.

Fox news interviewed a few of the men in the caravan and they basically said everything that Trump is eluding to: they are NOT seeking asylum, they are NOT trying to reach safety in just any country, they specifically want to come to US for jobs. They literally said this. These aren't refugees, they are illegals.

So will the Trump admin honor that definition and tell them "you must go back"?

Mexico is not a shithole, relative to the others.

Will NEVER happen. The US Military\Law Enforcement would stop that with the quickness. No way in hell they are going to allow trigger happy bigots access to the border with weapons.

I'd go to Costa Rica first and bang a few whores and do some sail fishing then head Norte...but maybe they don't have have the funds for that?
