“Trump said point-blank on TV that the troops are going to be building huge tents to hold people, who will be waiting for amnesty processing.” SUCH a bad idea.

You are assuming the tents will be on US soil? What if they are being set up on Mexican soil?

That’s fine, but we DO NOT need to subsidize the idea.
If Mexico cannot/will not discourage use of their country as an unimpeded conduit to the US ... then let THEM feed and assist the migrants.
America should be OUT of the ‘save the world’ business.

Nothing will ever encourage other countries of the world to look after themselves and become capable of self-government if we keep feeding them and supporting them, with NO expectation or requirement for improvement on social or political issues.

The US has been doing SO much for SO long that it’s time we cut them for bait and NO ONE can say we are uncaring or heartless.

They had continuous and very generous front-loaded assistance from Uncle Sam for many years so ...if they couldn’t get it together after decades of unstinting US help, then so be it.

Never mind that we will NEVER be repaid … not EVEN with allegiance or respect
