The media's shameful coverage of Central American 'caravan'......(Invasion)
washingtontimes ^ | 10/25/2018 | Larry O'Connor ANALYSIS/OPINION

Posted on 10/28/2018 3:54:01 PM PDT by caww

It was maddening and frustrating to watch this past week’s coverage of the so-called “caravan” of thousands of Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans plowing through Mexico’s southern border and their subsequent march toward the United States.

How is the support system, organizational infrastructure, logistical planning and financial backing not a big part of this story?......Any average American watching this enormous undertaking would naturally be curious as to how the entire thing is being managed and how it originated........... Thousands of people don’t spontaneously decide to leave their homes and walk thousands of miles, violating multiple international borders, without some help.... We are all curious about this part of the story; why aren’t the reporters?

Another shameful part of the ongoing coverage is the willfully ignorant word used to describe this bizarre odyssey. .It was immediately labeled a “caravan” by some unknown media overlord.... “Caravan” does not fully describe the story we are witnessing.....the more accurate would be the blunt yet descriptive “invasion.” Because... the intent of the participants is not solely to flee their nations of origin, as the word “exodus” would suggest, but to end up in one particular nation at the end of their trek.

If the sole purpose of this exercise was for the participants to leave their hostile countries, then the story would be over. They’ve made it to Mexico,(granted Asylum) a country with the 15th-largest economy in the world, less than 4% unemployment and more cultural and ethnic similarities to their own countries than the United States... But their plan was not just to leave their country for a safer, friendly one. Their plan was to reach America and 'demand entry'....That’s an Invasion!

“But their plan was not just to leave their country for a safer, friendly one. Their plan was to reach America and ‘demand entry’....That’s an Invasion!”

Especially since many are carrying their national flags. That’s what invaders do, not asylum seekers. The latter don’t make demands either, like this force is doing.

Meanwhile their countries of origin suffer. The invaders are cowards, criminals, and invaders seeking another nation to destroy after having destroyed their own counties

I really think the left is underestimating President Trump’s eventual action pertaining to this horde...

I believe the left is going to be surprised and angry...

Most of our media is guilty of gross bias by distortion and gross bias by omission and it’s been this way for decades.

The fact these folks ignored the Mexican police and military and broke into Mexico makes them CRIMINAL INVADERS.

The chicken-shit US press will never use those truthful word though. Doesn’t fit their agenda.

Skunk juice and rubber bullets. Sounds waves that cause pain but no damage. LETS GO!

Armies of this size used to send foraging teams FAR into the surrounding countryside to get enough food, leaving villages without food for the upcoming winter. “An army marches on its stomach” is very true in this case.

So what ARE the logistics for the army? Who is feeding them? Who is arranging food and water deliveries? Where is their waste dumped?

Isn’t it surprising how incurious the MSM is about these fundamental questions? (yes, /s)

They will not stop coming until we demonstrate that we are willing to fight for our country.

They’ve destroyed their own countries because of their inherent sloth , laziness and criminality. They’ll destroy ours.

I had a wonderful history teacher in high school. She said very clearly, “A county’s governance, ethics, military, educational and religious systems are summations of the country’s values. Anything less is lie. South and Central America, and Mexico reflect the values of these countries and is, in a real sense, the values of the Catholic church. Diversity has been a godsend for the United States.”

it would seem that the people of those countries want us all to be “like them”. I don’t think so and I will fight tooth and nail to prevent it.

Me too. Funny how if ‘’diversity’’ was so great for these countries their people are running like hell to get out of them.

I think the historical Church would recoil at the current condition and mores of many Latin American governments.

And the modern cabal of Sodomites and heretics in the modern Church, for that matter.

They’re certainly attempting to manipulate this Invasion event to fit their far leftist agenda....and that for public consumption and trickery.

The media’s problem is there are not enough ‘words’, o matter how they twist them, that will affect what the people are actually seeing with their own eyes.

Yes...that too....

I couldn’t hardly believe when one ‘invader’ said i an interview that he was going to take asylum in mexico in order to work for a year ,to earn enough money to pay traffickers to take him over the border into the USA....and he’s certainly not the only one.

Actually it’s more like they all have cell phones and the internet so they ‘see’ the wealth of our nation and ‘want’ what we have worked and fought for that they want but refuse to work and fight for in their country.

Why would they change their nation when they can just cross into the USA. Eve if they accept mexicos offer it will only be until they can pay traffickers to get them the rest of the way.

No matter how any paint this these people have openly stated they want the life we have...but without paying the price in their own country to attain that. “Freeloaders” is an understatement.

So are the ‘invaders’.

They believe there’s nothing wrong with crossing the borders in order to take money from here to send back to their families back in their home country. ....and further they don’t care what we think about it......they have a right to come here because they want to...and that’s it.

So many had jobs and businesses before they left but they want more than those jobs gave them. .....then they’re offered asylum in mexiso and refuse it.....so it’s really not about what they were suffering.
