Trump says he has 'instructed' DHS Secretary Nielsen not to let caravans into US: 'It is a disgrace'

President Trump said Monday he has “instructed” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen not to allow “large caravans of people” into the U.S. as a group of Central American migrants starts to reach the border, calling the situation a “disgrace.”

“Despite the Democrat inspired laws on Sanctuary Cities and the Border being so bad and one sided, I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security not to let these large Caravans of people into our Country. It is a disgrace. We are the only Country in the World so naïve! WALL,” Trump tweeted early Monday.

The president’s directive came as a group of about 50 Central American migrants who left southern Mexico in March reportedly reached the U.S. border, planning to seek asylum. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, asylum seekers must “demonstrate [they] have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution due to” five factors: race, religion, nationalist, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion."

They were allowed entrance into the country of Mexico. I would now consider them to be legal residents of the country of Mexico.

Best view expressed on these pages yet!

Even with LEO personnel posted every few yards, if they rush the border some or many will continue to make it across to protected legal status. If we fail to eliminate that status by legislation, we will have very few "civilized" means of resolving the issue, if any.

No large caravans.

No small caravans.

Not one illegal.

Perhaps a more humane approach would be an easier sell. How about a 200 yard wide moat filled with hungry alligators and piranha?

In a sane world the POTUS wouldn’t have to say this.

There is a lot of disgrace to clean up from 8 years of obama.

This "caravan" gets a lot of attention. However...the reality is, these few hundreds of people are a mere fraction, of a fraction, of the total numbers who are "apprehended" at the border every year and those numbers only represent those that are caught!

In the last full 5 years, there were over 2,000,000 foreign nationals caught by immigration @ our southern border.
How many were not caught?

If there were nearly a half a million people in this "caravan" trying to cross at one time (instead of over the course of a year), it would be clearer to those wearing the rose colored glasses.

THIS IS AN INVASION OF OUR SOVEREIGN COUNTRY!
