Trump declares national emergency over US-bound migrant caravan
Sky News ^ | October 22, 2018

Posted on 10/22/2018 6:38:43 AM PDT by conservative98

Donald Trump has ordered the military to be on alert over a US-bound migrant caravan as he declared a national emergency.

Referring to the caravan from Honduras, the president tweeted: "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.

"I have alerted Border patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency."

He added that the US would begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing aid" to three Central American countries.

Obviously, they think Trump is bluffing. Cut the crap about cutting aid. The invaders couldn’t care less. He should call out Democrats in a national address, and ask them all to take a stand against this attack. Then send the military into Mexico, at the border, and STOP them.

Why does that seem impossible? To have accomplished so much in so short a time, and they are things which actually HELP the country, seems unbelievable.

Thanks for all the work in getting this information out.

Declare it an invasion so they can be engaged.

No one pretends that a wall will stop all criminal activity or drug importation.

Nor will there be any massive layoffs of law enforcement. They can be used to go after the Illegals already here. That will take years

A hurricane saved this country during the War of 1812. It extinguished the fires in DC and put the British Army into disarray and retreat.

Declaring a National Emergency has significant implications in that it allows the President to garner powers he normally could not use absent the declaration, e.g., employing the military and the national guard.

Correct. He is proceeding step by step, as he should. They are not at the gates yet and he is preparing for their arrival, calmly and prudently.

And, POTUS should not permit the TV crews from AP and CNN to be on site to film all the planned propaganda commercials for the DNC and MSM...in their effort to protect the “chillin”...time to play hardball with these scum!

Simple, Load them into cargo planes telling them they will be placed in a good area. Then fly the planes back to the home countries and unload.

They’re now calling his bluff BIG TIME right before the mid-terms because he caved and let the first invasion walk on in.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Things are very different now. We are about to have a great election victory and put to rest forever the stupid impeachment talk. We're also going to have a strong majority in the Senate.

Stall them out in Mexico. Then on Nov 7, 2018 it's a new world.

Were there all Mex crews from foundation to roof then? It was 2003-4 before I saw every trade was Mex building 250K plus homes here. From bricks to finish carpentry. All subcontractors in a subdivision started in 2000 by all American contractors/subs changed when Bush changed that 50 mile trucking radius. We got ours from Florida,

The optics of the border confrontation is what they want.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Excellent analysis.

I recommend we use non-lethal weapons when they are far from the border.

Military-grade stink bombs while blasting them with Yoko Ono "music" should do the trick.

Send a message too, so it will be a little harder the next time Zero & Soros try to incite a mob.

Anyone know where the actual emergency declaration? I saw it yesterday on a thread and can’t find it now.

How many of these trucks have mini nukes and photon torpedoes or mini zombie elephants?

What type of goofy question is that? Just make up anything, say that’s what’s there, and anyone that questions how absurd that sounds, tell them “You know that? How?”

The point is that just making up stuff because it hypes up the danger, just serves no purpose.

Great for clicks on InfoWars, not such much anywhere else.

They’ll act like ants. The ones falling in will be crushed and the others will just walk over them.
