    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 :)

    Seems like quite the "invasion" indeed. (it's sickening to me that that is how this caravan is being labelled by America's heartless. I'm not sure how people who say that can look their kids in the face)

    I'm confused.  These people want a better life. They are going country to country to move north.  Why don;t we just put them on a bus in Texas and drop them off in Canada?  They have better health care.

    In response to the Canada comments, doesn't Canada have much more strict immigration Laws?
    And the ones that get there illegally, do they get all the benefits illegal immigrants here get? Free education, free food and free healthcare (if you abuse the system)? I don't see those things happening anywhere else. I also don't see any other developed countries with the relaxed immigration laws that we have. So why is the US criticized so much when we do more for illegal immigrants than most?
    I don't agree with everything that happened during the separation policy a few months ago, but I'm talking about everything before that and since. Why are we expected to take everyone in when no one else is? And why are we criticized by everyone who isn't willing to do as much as we do?
    It is difficult to get into Canada, they wouldn't last 10 minutes if we tried to drop a busload off, but we're criticized for enforcing our own boarders? The differences I see don't add up to me.

    I hear Sweden is great about letting people in...send a boat.
    We have some good cargo planes.  Faster and safer.
    They've been walking.  And why do I care how long it takes? ;)
    Time is money, think of all the food, etc.  We should get them to some healthier options as quick as possible too ;)
    @PJPOWER what is the mood like in Texas when a caravan of this magnitude slowly starts creeping towards the boreer?
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    We’re planning on moving the fence to the other side of El Paso, lol. They are all going to live with Beto, right?
    Not too many people opening their doors and prepare welcoming feasts from what I’ve seen.  Seems like it is ramping up the Cruz vote too.

    Yeah, reality.  Reality is that you won’t have to pay for this invasion.
    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.
    You guys suck at geography, you'll probably end up bussing them back home instead ... lol

    I’m quite good with geography, thank you very much!  And we would only bus the Canadians down to Guatemala, ha

    Agreed - this isn't fucking funny at all. But I'll never tell anyone they can't or shouldn't joke about something, no matter how distasteful it is to me. #cosby
    What bothers me much more is that some people here don't quite seem to think of these people as all the way human. The tone suggests they are only capable of thinking of them in an abstract, totally disconnected way. It's sad.

    As a Canadian I have no problem taking in legitimate refugees. I didn't have a problem with Syrian refugees coming here so why would I have a problem with American refugees?

    The people here that don't want refugees are the same people who would turn away shiploads of Jews in the 30's. Its pretty shameful.

    There has been a significant uptick in refugee claimants coming to Canada through the border with the US. I understand that most are from Haiti and Nigeria, due to changes in how the US treats those seeking asylum from those countries now. I don’t have an issue with it, either.

    Ditto. I support doing everything possible to help refugees fleeing from the kinds of horrible conditions this caravan is fleeing from. I think they are worth some time, effort, and tax dollars. Stats show that refugees on the whole tend to contribute well to their new countries too, in the long run.
    All I would ask of our government is to be more strategic about where refugees go once they arrive. There needs to be a system where a ton of refugees aren't coming into a city already suffering from an unaffordable housing crisis. That is bad for everyone, especially the refugees. If the government set up supports for them in strategic locations across the country, that is where they'd go.

    ok i can agree i get to agitated by this situation and i end saying something that i shouldn't of , but this situation is horrible and i'm not saying open the border let them all come through but we don't have an administration that knows how to deal with it or even reach out to these countries that have all these problems that people just wanna leave , heads of state should be communicating to see how this can be addressed but with racist Miller leading the charge against these folks nothing good will come of this ...
