Full title.......................'It's a BIG CON': Trump says it's 'ironic' that members of the migrant caravan are waving flags of the 'dangerous' countries they are fleeing, while Tijuana's mayor says the influx of migrants could last SIX MONTHS......................Donald Trump claimed it was 'ironic' that migrants were waving the flags of the 'dangerous' countries they are fleeing from to seek asylum in the US.
The President claimed the migrant caravan travelling from Central America to the US border in search of asylum is a 'BIG CON' which the American taxpayer is paying for.
In a series of fiery tweets tonight, Potus claimed: 'Isnt it ironic that large Caravans of people are marching to our border wanting U.S.A. asylum because they are fearful of being in their country - yet they are proudly waving their countrys flag.

It’s people in our country who are more of a threat by aiding these caravans than the caravans.........
An Invader Enabler!!
No.
Read the story.
Oh.
I think this line could have been a bit more clear.
She is serving among those joining caravans.
I took it to mean she was helping out IN the caravan.
Again Trump is spot on, why carry the flag of the country you are trying to escape from???

As soon as one of these things wrecks and kills 347 people crammed inside; it'll be, "Trumps fault!!!"
Read the story.
You expect Freepers to actually take the time to READ???
Click on a link??? And READ its contents???
Why, the impulse of the majority here is to knee-jerk post!
OK, well some Freepers actually do read - some...
(btw, excellent read - thank you, HereInTheHeartland!)
These mobs are going to displace the legit citizens of Tijuana and trash the whole city, how long will that be tolerated? Itd be a shame if the refugees have a tough time there and get herded back south.

Not long, the citizens of Tijuana are already protesting the New Arrivals. One Mexican held up a sign: “Trump is Right!they are invaders!”. The backlash is real.
Okay about flags:
The US Flag, is really important to citizens of the US, it symbolizes the contract the people have with each other and with our government. So burning the US flag is not just an attack on the US government it is also an attack on the people of the US. Strike one against the rabble.
Second if you are coming to us to immigrate you better damn well have US flags flying. If you want to keep the Honduran immigres together you can fly it under the us flag or next to it(the US flags left). Second strike.
Third if you are fleeing your home country and not fighting to fix it you are viewed as cowards running away from a fight. Third strike.
Fourth, If you are bringing families out of harms way it is the first country you flee to (ie. Mexico) that you ask for asylum. Mexico offered it but these invaders turned it down. Fourth strike.
In baseball its three strikes and your out...need I say more?

Okay, perhaps a couple things do need be said.
I am personally not in favor of this caravan nor any illegal immigration. I want to make that clear first.
Your “first strike”: It seems everywhere in the world except the United States, the flag-burning episode is recognized for what it was. That photo of the idiots burning a US flag was not in nor was ever a part of this “caravan”. This was done by a crowd of Mel Zelaya’s Libre goons back in April, if I recall correctly. Can you see the red and yellow Libre flag? Or the red and white bandanas? These you DON’T want entering the US for they will make Antifa look like choirboys. And a few Libres are undoubtedly in the caravan, but this photo is not them!
Second strike: I have no argument with your statement.
Third strike: I pretty much agree, but there are a lot of people here duped into doing things on a spur of the moment, no different from the hordes duped within the US. How to you think the Democrats get nearly half the voting population to go along with their garbage? Those here fall for the same commie line.
Fourth strike: Asylum is different from “refugee status” according to the UN Protocol. Anyone anywhere in the world can ask for asylum status, not merely in the first country entered. It is different from refugee status which does not apply in this case.
My only disagreements are with “strikes” one and four. That photo has been passed around the internet for so long it has achieved a status of truth, which it is not. The other one, number four, just needs a little more research.
California has oodles of ‘freebies’.....which is what they are after. These are basically uneducated unskilled and unsophisticated people who have left a socialist society and the mindset that Government is responsible for you. So they’ll fit nicely in California’s welfare system.
Reading would just slow down our mindreading capabilities too much.

I have to appreciate the thought you put into your reply to my comment. In a way it is flattering because my comment provoked you to put thought to keyboard.
It is gratifying that items 2 and 3 we are largely in agreement on. I understand your point regarding item 1 that this event was not directly related to the current invasion coming at us through Mexico. Also we do have an obligation to be accurate unlike the Lame Stream Media. However as you say these people that committed this act are probably imbedded in this horde heading North. Have the leadership of the “Caravan” distanced themselves from this act or policed themselves to remove Criminal and Extreme political operators and activists? No? I don’t believe that we should treat these invaders with kid gloves, unless they repudiate these elements and remove them from their group they should be clothed with the extremist actions. Sorry.
Item 4 I will give a little more leeway as I am not an attorney on International Law. However my understanding is that most of these people are economically motivated and are not under threat of immediate harm in their home countries. My position is that they have home countries and if they motivated themselves to come here they can motivate themselves to reform their home country to make them better places to live. The gravy train has got to stop.
This is a helpful post.
At the very, very least, people get to see another perspective.
