No one else thinks the border is being used as a campaign stunt?

They’re weeks away.
We already have armed military and national guard at the border.
Do we honestly think there are terrorists in the Middle East that decided to walk to the U.S through Honduras and Central America?
Why haven’t other (larger) caravans that werent coming near Election Day been talked about at length like this one has?


Is anyone else on this board asking these questions?


ETA: Trump hasn’t even visited the troops in Afghanistan. If I was in the military being sent to the border and told to commit the war crime of killing someone with a rock in their hand because the president says rocks are to be treated “like rifles,” I’m not sure I’d be too happy about being used for political gain like this.

So you're question of "why do we care now" is based on this happening all the time, which is what you think we should be okay with.


No. Next.

It’s the daily fake outrage. It’s how the right wing operates. They want gullible people to think they are being attacked so those people will overlook or ignore the daily corruption and abuse by the governing party.

I never asked why we care now. I asked if it ever crossed anyone else’s mind that this is just a political stunt.

No. We're running out of issues to solve and this is next. And it will be solved.

This has to be frustrating for you.

Anybody with a lick of sense would know that this is a political stunt meaning that of course no one on this board does. It's easy to see that it's a political stunt because all of the ads I've seen in Texas have been about how Democrats want open borders. Of course that's a lie and of course Trump sending out the National Guard to meet this Caravan makes it look like Republicans tough Democrats want people walking across border. The most idiotic thing I've ever seen which means it's definitely a Republican

No the last 5 presidents saying they would solve it was a political stunt. This is doing what you said in your campaign. Foreign to you, sleeping sheep.

The leftist media keeps the story going. They're the ones pumping the sob stories about children and asylum.

these caravans are slowing down because the whole situation is polling well for republicans and bad for democrats

it is so obvious that it really isn't worth talking about

you need to try harder

tell that to the Mexican troops and police that were injured

you sound like a big vagina - or at least you are proving that liberalism (at least in its modern form) is a mental disorder

a war crime to defend yourself?

wow

Because they've said they want open boarders. Crazy I know. Believing people who are telling you exactly what they want.

The caravan is being funded by someone. Find that, and you'll find the source behind this stunt.

What if I said these people are only coming to apply for asylum (which is their right) and most will be rejected anyway, like how it usually works with these caravans. Does that change anything?

Bingo. And now that it's not going how they wanted it to go it's all The Right pushing fear. People are waking up. Not good for democrats at all.

That it deserves to be investigated. It was and Cav came up clean because there wasn't any substantial evidence. Your point?

Explain please. I asked a question. Is it that anytime someone questions the president, they’re sky screaming?

yes it is/was a political stunt; one manufactured by progressives like Soros

but it backfired, so the media is ignoring it or trying to make it look like conservatives are evil racists over this - using the tried and true playbook

and fools on the left are acting like this stunt that they pulled is a right wing stunt

again, same playbook, accuse the other side of what they are in truth doing
