    Who here believes there are middle easterners mixed in? If so, how many are there? Who believes that the Dems are funding the caravan? Who believes there are riots in sanctuary cities in California?

    Dude, they're not all just going to walk across the border. They're coming here to apply for asylum as refugees which means there is an extensive vetting process. These caravans have apparently been coming here for a couple decades. Nobody has cared about them until our president saw a story about it on Fox and Friends last year and decided it was yet another way he could drive a wedge into out political discourse.

    Overall net immigration has been down. Stop taking the president's word on this (and anything else for that matter). He lies all the time for political purposes.

    From what i have read immigration numbers are up.  Interesting.  And trust me, I don't believe a syllable of what Trump says.

    It has been declining for years. I think we actually had a net outflow of immigrants last year. It’s an issue that needs to be addressed but it’s nowhere near “national emergency” stays. Manufactured outrage by Trump to drive his racist base to the polls.

    There is currently net out-migration of Mexicans. This has been superseded by entry of more Central American residents, but projections are for this to also wane.

    Who needs proof when you have el Presidente's conspiracy theories to get us through the day. And with his absolute declaration of absence of proof of anything, he's got massive latitude for truth-stretching lying to his low-information supporters.

    Well, why doesn't that brilliant president of yours, Team Trump Treason, give them one way bus fare to your vast, unguarded northern border and encourage them to invade Canada? They like tacos, burritos, chalupas and beans and rice up there. And they're much more welcoming than you. Teach their PM a lesson?

    You're still scared? You've got two weeks. Man the ramparts.
    Sounds like an excellent plan :)
    Manning the ramparts?
    Busses to Canada, I suggested this a while back.
    I got no problem with this. I think it sets a bad precedent If these thousands of people are allowed In With no problems. 

    send em on up. we canadians are good like that.

    Totally - let's help them... Of course it's not problem-free. Such things always come with problems, logistical or otherwise. But I think it's worth it anyhow. We just have to keep working to try and solve those problems the best we can, figure out what is conceivably possible and what isn't. Obviously care must be taken to set up a system that doesn't lead to overwhelming the system to the point where the refugees aren't suffering more than they need to during the process.

    yeah lots to laugh about from your safe white picket fence homes , you guys above are shameful to be making jokes about these folks the more i learn about some of you the more i'm happy to not really have to hang with any of you ..i hope none of you are ever in a situation to have to leave your precious homes and have to walk thousands of miles with your kids in tow just to find a safe place to carve out a living ....ughh America is really ugly ... 
    hmmmm...my first reaction was to lighten up since it’s just a messageboard and the reality of the people here care more than the general population.

    But I think you have a point. Except I don’t have a white picket fence.

    So anyhow, what I struggle with is these people are leaving there homes for financial reasons or local crime reasons. They are asylum seekers fleeing war, a tyrannical government, etc. And the man they are continuing to pass through other countries to get specifically to the US.  So, I’m unsure what I think should really happen when they show up.  If you let everyone in, how big is the next one? But if you don’t what will these people do, how will they live?  And should they be let in at the expense of other immigration? There is no easy choice.


    Could one make the argument that America is the greatest country in the world based on what these caravan of people will do to get here?  I mean they are risking life and limb to get to the promise land.
    no. the "promise land" is NOT the US. the promise land is the closest geographical land mass with a government that doesn't slaughter its own people. 

    congrats, you won.
