Yep by the dems, liberals and media who fund and encourage these type of caravans and not orderly immigration policies.

Yes you have to get there early to prepare to process these people and build the tent city facilities to house them.

If we were not prepared then that would be a problem

You have to draw a line in the sand sometime. Enough is enough.

This will provide a "reason" / "excuse" to use the military to build a wall after the election.

Are you saying if they were actually ooking for asylum, they wouldn’t come to America and would stop in mexico?


Yes. That is literally the rule in international law. You go to the nearest country. You don't get to traverse half the globe to get to the country you want.

Also let’s not forget that this is the third “caravan” under Trump’s tenure. So it’s not some unprecedented event


And he decided to stick his feet in the mud about these caravans. The media stuck their foot in their mouths again with that 17,000 are coming number. You can bet your arse there was angle to such a large number being reported even though the media wants to now focus on the angle now "well it's such a small group and troops on the border are not needed" they are espousing now. Bottom line, the media got caught with shite on their faces trying to push something that wasn't there. Trump saw this I think and threw it right back at them. IOW, the fake news were their own worst enemy concerning this caravan.

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

They have said that they want to let every person who wants to come into the country -- come in?

Wikipedia says this.


quote:

Asylum has three basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country.[4] Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group. Third, an applicant must establish that the government is either involved in the persecution, or unable to control the conduct of private actors.




PBS says this

quote:

Under federal law, anyone from another country can seek asylum — and therefore entry into the U.S. — by claiming to have fled their countries out of fear of persecution over their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.

I've seen this said, countless times, by countless leftist posters, across all kinds of message boards. Even if this isn't an official Democrat talking point.

So, remember, leftists who post online, like yourself, are doing more damage to their own party, in the eye of the public, than good.

It doesn’t matter what anyone wants. We have asylum laws on the books. If the caravan approaches a checkpoint, gets processed, and files for asylum, there’s nothing more to be done. That’s why this whole thing is stupid.

It is highly unlikely that the group comes in guns blazing and/or tries to evade border patrol. Especially when the US knows exactly where they are

That's not true and you repeatedly saying it doesn't make it true.

Why would progressives give Trump the perfect platform for these campaign histrionics?

All of your questions stand on the premise that this is unprecedented and no other caravans have ever came. Larger caravans have taken longer trips and have come to the country and applied for asylum without George Sorros paying for them.

They have been offered asylum in Mexico. They refuse to take the offer.

What does that tell you about them?

Do you think that enemies of the U.S. and criminals wouldn’t try to take advantage of that?
Do you think that terrorists or gang members are going to hand themselves over to U.S. authorities at the border and claim amnesty?

That is humorous.
