Ok, for the jillionth time some facts from the ground in Central America:
1. The flag-burning DID NOT happen in the caravan. Those were Libre goons in Honduras doing the dirty work for Mel Zelaya and Salvador Nasralla, trying to stir the masses toward anarchy and revolution. The Honduran equivalent of Antifa, only far worse. And, yes, there are a number of them in the caravans, but those did not do the act in the photo.
2. The Honduran flag being “waved” is for identification of the group while on the march, not for Honduran patriotism or for invasion.
3. Most of the caravan participants are men, not women and children. Some are honestly seeking work and a better life for their families. Most are there for lack of education/ambition and are looking for a free ride. Some are criminals and gang members or those looking for some kind of adventure, especially those who joined the caravans after it was on the move.
4. Most of these people are NOT what you would want in the US, but the honest people of Honduras don’t want them back, either. Most are the dregs of society who do not want a job, just a handout. Some are there to create anarchy in the US, or to join/create criminal enterprises.
5. Many do not deserve to be “shot”, or whatever other dire punishment thought up by wannabe macho Keyboard Kommandos on the internet. But they are not the best Honduras has to offer.
Don’t measure an entire country or society by their lowest echelon. I don’t know an answer to this mess, but I wouldn’t want the entire US judged by a few thousand skid-row bums and back-alley ghetto trash. Macho bluster only makes you look foolish, and can very well return later to bite you in the butt. In a crisis you have to work smart, not hard.
3.
Australia was started by WHO???

The missionary in hereintheheartland’s post has more to say on that “caravan”.
“Most of these people are NOT what you would want in the US, but the honest people of Honduras don’t want them back, either.”
So, they ain’t our citizens, they are theirs, so keep them!
Okay about flags:
The US Flag, is really important to citizens of the US, it symbolizes the contract the people have with each other and with our government. So burning the US flag is not just an attack on the US government it is also an attack on the people of the US. Strike one against the rabble.
Second if you are coming to us to immigrate you better damn well have US flags flying. If you want to keep the Honduran immigres together you can fly it under the us flag or next to it(the US flags left). Second strike.
Third if you are fleeing your home country and not fighting to fix it you are viewed as cowards running away from a fight. Third strike.
Fourth, If you are bringing families out of harms way it is the first country you flee to (ie. Mexico) that you ask for asylum. Mexico offered it but these invaders turned it down. Fourth strike.
In baseball its three strikes and your out...need I say more?
This is a helpful post.
At the very, very least, people get to see another perspective.
