“They are coming to the United States in search of protection,” one activist told the Post. “It’s ridiculous to argue that the babies in the caravan are a national security threat.”

Unsurprisingly, the American Civil Liberties Union will put its two red cents in. Omar Jadwat, director of its Immigrants’ Rights Project, told the Post that the Supreme Court’s ruling that backed Trump’s travel restrictions doesn’t apply in this case. “That’s the law,” he told the newspaper. “You get a chance to explain why you think you are going to be persecuted if you return home.”

But the migrants aren’t “coming ... in search of protection,” as the Post itself and The Associated Press revealed.

The migrants are coming for jobs. “We are workers,” an illegal alien told the Post. “What are we supposed to do in Honduras if there’s no work?” And “most of the migrants,” the Post reported, “were not planning to apply for asylum.”

The judges need to be told they have no standing. We knew the left would insist these people be let in.

It is time for an Executive Order sealing the border for 90 days to all but valid visa holders and American citizens needing to travel. Another EO to end “catch and release” and replace it with “catch and return.” By the end of 90 days that should be in place. Provide bonafide refugees with a means of applying for refugee status at US embassies and consulates in foreign lands. But not at our border. Mr. President, please!!

Are they not required to apply for asylum at an embassy in the first contiguous nation?

Trump needs to rally the country big time against the invaders. And he may have to defy a few district courts until the Supreme Court rules. It’s all over if he does neither
