The Caravan is easy to solve. Just interview the caravan promoters. Then show the children who are being forced to walk the length of Mexico for a democrat stunt. I think you will find that the same people starting the march will not be there at the end. Or they will be driven through Mexico. They are not walking it.
Good lord,what is it with all of the caps????

Which is why I think the President will stay his hand on deploying the military to the border until after the midterms.
Meanwhile, he did respond by telling the offending countries that he'll yank their foreign aid if they don't stop the invasion themselves.
I know that's not the sharpest arrow in his quiver, but he's got to avoid giving the left something that will ignite their voter base right now.
I think we'll see a much more potent and effective response after the midterms.
Great idea!
Very politically astute too.
There’s also Art 4: “shall protect each of them against invasion”
Risky business. But that’s the point of sdjourning Congress and getting a resolution of support from them.
Yes, risky.
Really need for Congress to suspend Habeas for these people so they can quickly be disposed of- but that’s not likely.
We may outnumber them, but only by a slim margin. It all comes down to which side can motivate more of their voters to show up on election day.
Democrat voters are notoriously lazy when it comes to midterm elections. It takes something really powerful to get them to turn out for non-presidential elections. Sending the military to the southern border would be just the spark to motivate them.
We don't want to light that fire until the elections are over.
he also has the authority to defend the country from invasion
Yep. Not a chance.
Congress critters drop their gonads at the city limits when they go to Washington.
Declare a state of emergency and close the border before they can approach it. The national guard can secure the borders. Any state whose governor refuses to cooperate can enjoy the sight of the U.S. Marines securing the border.
The optics will kill the Dem chances.
“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
The quote above comes from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which Truman vetoed. Congress overturned Truman's veto.
The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (Ted Kennedy's gift to America) added language that forbids discrimination based on race, religion, nationality, etc.
The 1965 language is what present day federal judges use to stop Trump's order that blocked immigrants from various Muslim countries.
That's fine but I think an AC-130 is all that's needed ; )
Trump has stayed his hand since January 2017.
We had a “Catch and Release” border policy for the first 15 months of the Trump Administration.
In May 2018, when “The First Caravan” tore the mask off Catch and Release, Trump enforced the law for about a month.
Today, we are right back to Catch and Release.
Ouch. You sure know how to pop a guy's bubble.
Maybe it's time we start writing the President daily, laying out the long agreed upon nuts and bolts of what it will take to end illegal immigration.
Personally, I think the President is too wedded to the idea of the wall as the best solution. It's not. We've got to Turn Off The Magnet, if we want them to stop coming.
However, if Trump has even said the words “E-Verify” since he was elected, I have not read about it.
Trump is better than Hillary Clinton on immigration.
But saving our Republic requires urgent radical immigration surgery, and Trump is never going to do that.
He's courageous, but he's only one man going toe to toe with an entrenched treasonous establishment, that is hellbent on ending the American Experiment.
It's up to us to give him the unquestioning, overwhelming support he needs to execute the sort of decisive moves that will truly rescue the republic.
Showing up to the polls on election day is only the start. If we don't all become activists, it's over. We're going to have to fight ten times harder than the enemy to preserve our beloved nation, if we hope to win.
Never mind Democrats,where the hell is that ahole Paul Ryan,what has he done to help in this?
President Trump has done more than anyone else to bring attention to E-Verify. The problem is that Democrats and a few Republicans in Congress have refused to deal with him on immigration.
Trump Budget Lays the Groundwork for National E-Verify
https://www.numbersusa.com/blog/trump-budget-lays-groundwork-national-e-verify
As for the group incursions at that southern border, federal judges have repeatedly decided in favor of defeating the intentions behind the President’s orders by using previous laws passed by Congress and decisions in previous court cases.
I disagree.
Trump doesn't need any Congressional help on E-Verify.
E-Verify was established by Executive Order, in 2007, by George W. Bush. It applies to all federal contractors and vendors.
It is simply an Executive policy to enforce existing law.
About 20 states have independently legislated some form of E-Verify, and the Supreme Court has supported the right of states to do that.
Trump could at least try to impose universal E-Verify on all states by Executive Order, but he has not and will not do that.
Trump could also vigorously campaign for E-Verify in states that don't have it, but he has not and will not do that, either.
Re: Trump Budget
So, Trump couldn't shake loose $15 million to expand the E-Verify system, which is already in place, and has been working fine for 10 years?
Trump's 2018 budget was $4.1 trillion. Trump borrowed $800 billion in FY 2018. But he still can't find $15 million?
Re: Border Policy
The only two legal issues at the border are the separation of children and parents, and people claiming asylum.
All those cases could be prevented by stopping people before they cross the border.
Concerning the legal issues, Trump continues to send DOJ lawyers - who hate Trump and hate his immigration policies - into federal court to argue his cases.
Unless Trump hires his own lawyers, he will never get good legal advice, and he will never win an immigration case.
