The caravan has been a yearly event since 2010 when then President Obama gave Mexico the green light to open their southern border, and grant asylum for passage through Mexico to the USA. Obama and open borders Republicans welcomed the illegal immigrants.
Our border laws allow asylum seekers from countries not contingent to the USA. Thus Mexico conspired with the Obama administration to flood our borders with illegal immigrants from countries south of Mexico.
The anti-American main stream media produced sob stories supporting the illegal migration, and showed no interest in telling the whole story about our weak immigration laws.
Could this be yet another scandal for the Democrats and the Republican establishment?
Yes, "allowed" is an applicable word. So are "welcomed" and even "instigated".
DOESN'T ANYONE REMEMBER that Joe Biden went to Central America and SPOKE to these groups of 'migrants' and told them they were WELCOME to come to the USA ?????????????????
Biden To Visit with Central American Leaders on Border Children
As Obama unveils program, other efforts aim to help Central Americans -
More than 52,000 unaccompanied children were caught trying to cross the southern U.S. border in the first five months of this year. Between 60,000 to 90,000 such children are expected to have crossed by the end of 2014, and more than 140,000 are expected next year, according to the White House. That’s more than double the 24,668 that flowed across last year and triple the 13,625 children that came in 2012, according to a recent report by the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies and Kids in Need of Defense, an advocacy group for unaccompanied immigrant children.
“The gangs buy congressmen and political support” said Roger Noriega, former Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere and Ambassador to the Organization of American States.
The MS-13 gang in El Salvador, is a violent exception to this trend. It started as a powerful criminal organization with a national reach in the United States but moved to Central America when many of its top leaders were deported.
His colleague, Texas Republican John Cornyn concurred, saying “the perception is that there are no consequences to illegally entering the United States.” Cornyn and others argue that policies like the DREAM act and others give the impression that amnesty for undocumented immigrants is just around the corner.
“The administration doesn’t really oppose illegal immigration,” he said. “I mean, the people in charge of immigration policy-making in this administration don’t really, in their heart of hearts, believe that we have a right to keep people out of the country who aren’t murderers or drug dealers — in other words, sort of regular illegal aliens who just want a job.”
Thank you for a pithy explanation of the source of our border issues, with the yearly illegals march!
the caravan of more than 1,500 families from Central America

1,500 families? Wasn’t it something like 1,200 people, not families?
