Here’s the big thing that is probably breaking up the migrant caravan more than anything: President Trump’s resolve to rule of law. He’s sent troops. He’s sent reinforcements. He’s thrown up the razor wire. He’s warned them they will not be treated at all differently from all the other people asking for asylum, and they will have to wait their turn in line. What’s more, if they get into the U.S., there won’t be the freedom to do what they want, no catch and release, because they will have to wait in tent cities for their cases to be adjudicated, same as other people. The two- to three-year period of working in the states and going home to Honduras with money after the final deportation order isn’t going to be there anymore. For quite a few of them, news reports suggested that all they wanted was that two- to three-year period to work, either legally or illegally, and they’d go home happy with the money.
Trump also put pressure on Mexico to encourage it to keep its immigration system regular, something it did with spotty results, but news reports do say the caravans are getting smaller, and Mexico is insisting on passports for passage through.
Bottom line: There’s less and less advantage to being in the caravan, no special privileges, and more and more advantage to immigrating legally.
We should have had a President like this in 1988, instead we had a Bush.
We would not have 30 + million illegal aliens.
“For quite a few of them, news reports suggested that all they wanted was that two- to three-year period to work, either legally or illegally, and they’d go home happy with the money.”
Yep, ‘all they wanted’. Now they see a year or more in a militarily-guarded border tent camp for processing. And they don’t like that.
Guess they don’t much like rules, eh? Guess they just wanted our money, eh? Guess they didn’t want to actually become Americans, eh?
Shep Smith said in a soundbite I heard replayed: “Last April only 14 were arrested out of all the supposed hordes. Fourteen! This time you again have nothing to worry about, Americans. Go to bed and sleep soundly tonight. The caravan is not going to come over here and hurt you. It may only be a few dozen left at the end and they’ll go back in despair.”
Now if Trump wins by stopping them Shep will gloat see he told us so. If not, there could be bloodshed by mistake or by agitators setting it up by plan. Then that will make the Time Magazine front cover composite of a bloody teddy bear and a glowering American soldier standing above it. And Trump’s War on Other Races Reaches Violent Threshold. Sick.
You’re dreaming if you think this is how it’s going to work.
All along this route it’s bee all about side stepping every block, every offer for asylum etc. to reach their goal of getting HERE. They are more than willing to ‘wait’ in tents and have stated so....until they have traffickers take them over.
This will be done on their terms because they have no regard for the laws.....they will sidestep anything and everything....as they have shown all along..and for decades. It’s not going to change because new laws appear.....they just see these as another hurdle to jump over.
Mexican authorities claim to have deported 1,100 Central Americans.
It’s not that the $$$ wasn’t there for the buses. The optics are bad and our Great President has lowered the boom on them. They deserve this.
He said, “We aren’t going to take it, anymore.” and “So sorry Mexico, The party’s over, amigos, the free ride you call America, is over.” “You let them in, you’re stuck with them.” “Expect that most of them you send will be deported after living in a tent with rations.” And, “We had better not be discovering random Mexican women & kids sprinkled among the Central American hordes as we process them to deport them.” “Just stay home!” (((dreams)))
A wall will cost much less to build than directing military assets to the border, repeatedly... forever.
We need to launch the “Just Stay Home” campaign for Mexicans and Central Americans: “Solo quédate en casa!”
Thing is, they’re breaking up in smaller units so when they get to the border, they’re let in without question because they aren’t part of the BIG caravan. FOX just showed a group of Hondurans who were accepted yesterday.
Those who were in El Paso and Missouri that Beto’s volunteers were talking about to O’Keefe got in the same way.
STOP THEM ALL! CLOSE THE BORDER!
The CIA should send them dysentery.
I can’t argue you are wrong but.....
Mexico City with a population of 22 million very crowded souls and streets busy beyond belief, can swallow a caravan of a few thousand and leave no trace
Thanks for the post.
President Trump keeping us strong and safe!
Great post. Thanks for the detailed info.
And they will on US land while in tent cities? Who will be feeding them and giving them clothing while waiting?
Trump didn’t blink and venezuala/soros/mexico, whoever it was who financed this, i’m thinking the first two, dont’ give a damn about the people and dont want to throw good money after bad.
They are truly disgusting.
And a lot of the caravan are feeling like suckers right now.
The mostly male 20 somethings do Not want to go up against US troops.
They likely don’t believe the troops won’t intervene with force because where they are from, it’s done quite reguarly.
