What about Mexico?

This statement is meant for Mexico and it's meant as a threat.

He could redirect the funds to send them all back to their country. Let their governments pay for their repatriation.

President Trump needs to set up a Go Fund Me for liberals to contribute to the feeding and care of the illegal aliens they invited into this country by their active refusal to enforce our immigration laws. Donation should require name and address for future housing of these aliens, as long as the Go Fund Me has funds.

We will need that money to pay for all those illegal aliens.

‘What about Mexico? 50% Tax on all incoming wire transfers.’

I would shut it all down at once. 125% tax on ANY money sent to Mexico, cut ALL “aid” to the countries involved. If Mexico lets these invaders just walk through knowing their intention, then Mexico’s elite must be made to hurt, bigly.

The current policy is only to remove the low hanging fruit, those who already have deportation orders and those convicted of serious crimes.

We have to wait for illegal aliens to harm or kill Americans before they are removed.

President Trump needs to set up a Go Fund Me for liberals and Bush League Republicans to contribute to the feeding and care of the illegal aliens they invited into this country by their active refusal to enforce our immigration laws.

When will people stop referring to this invasion as a caravan. This crowd isn’t a bunch of fortune telling gypsies.

Hasn’t anyone, including Trump, ever heard of the word “INVASION?”

Caravan huh?

Definition of caravan - a vehicle equipped for living in, typically towed by a car and used for holidays, a group of people, especially traders or pilgrim.

Definition of invasion - an occasion when an army or country uses force to enter and take control of another country.

Our military swore to protect us from all harm, both foreign and domestic. If this mob isn't foreign, then what is? In all things, in all tasks, beyond any debate, the military's purpose is to SERVE & PROTECT AMERICA...

Our Border needs to be armed and ready....this is what they did to mexico's police....

If you are an American citizen you can send up to $500 to a relative. If you are not a citizen it should be illegal to send funds.

Caravan: a group of people and animals or vehicles who travel together: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/caravan

In this particular case, people.

That said, of course it’s an invasion. A decades-long invasion with tens of thousands illegally crossing our border every month. An invasion that has LONG required a military presence to repel. ...until the wall is built, which is hopefully soon.

“Maybe not a lot of money in terms of the US budget, but to corrupt Latin American politicians living high on the hog on US taxpayer dollars, it’s quite a bit of money.”

DING DING DING!!
Thread Winner.

Of that $500 million dollars ALL of it ends up in the pockets of corruptocrats.

At exchange rates ONE US dollar buys:
7.63 Guatemalan Queztals

23.97 Honduran Lempira

3090 Colombian Pesos

19 Mexican pesos

With all the U.S. dollars flowing to Mexico and South America due to the drug trade and now invaders sending US dollars home to their families there is no reason for any of those countries to change their attitudes towards us.

That doesn’t even consider the relief valve we have become by their disaffected poor flowing across our border.
Every South American who comes here is one less to foment revolution back home.

Don’t give any benefits until they show an application with job information and tax payment records immigration hearing dates need to be honored as well

Comments about shooting AP are indeed ridiculous.

However, I’m concerned we’re going to have to shoot a couple of these protestors at the border. And the press is going to have a heyday with that if we do.

What needs to happen, NOW, is for congress to be called back for an emergency session.

Put some ideas on how to deal with the “caravan” out there. And especially for those those in tight races on record get them on record.

Maybe, right now is the moment to end birth right anchor babies? Or redefine “refugess”?
