Graham: Dems roll out welcome mat for caravan

“We demand of the United­ States … that they open the border to us because we are as much citizens as the (American) people are.”

-- Pueblo Sin Fronteras, on behalf of the caravan of illegal immigrants from Central America headed to the U.S. border.

A little tip if I may, mi amigos, as you caravan your way to the land of free milk and honey (not to mention housing and health care): Drop the “demand” lingo. It’s counterproductive. And besides, you don’t have to “demand” anything. America’s Democrats are more than happy to give it to you.

The entire premise of the “Not One More” movement is that America’s deportations of illegal immigrants are inherently immoral — despite the fact that virtually every other country on the planet does it, too.

By making a big show of how immigration activists and their liberal allies truly feel, you’re actually bolstering the case for Trump’s border wall and increased enforcement. Now that you’ve made a big show of marching to our border, many Americans are going to demand that, instead of being given your “permiso” and released into the U.S. — and the awaiting arms of Somerville — like in the Obama era, you be kept at the border, given a quick hearing on your (let’s face it, bogus) asylum claim and sent home.

So forget the “demands” and the threats. There’s no need to take by force what American liberals are happy to give away.

Not just Democrats.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico

Block ALL money transfers to Mexico. NOW!

NO, NO, NO! they should not be "given a quick hearing then sent home." They are not "immigrants" they are invaders who should not be permitted to get that far. The caravan should be met at the border by the military and turned away, by force if necessary, before they ever step across the border.

Dems (and RINOs) Fixed it.

If these people are having such a tough time, why are so many fat?

The ‘RATS’ “blue wave” is on the move for the November “elections”. Here they come America! Time to open your wallets and ready the “Welcome baskets”.

[Ciaphas Cain]

That isn't a caravan coming through Mexico. A caravan has legitimate purpose and often something to trade.

THIS is a caravan:

At least the ones with the two-headed cattle have useful items to put into the economy instead of sucking away and giving back nothing.

No, actually we should ENCOURAGE them to keep demanding things from us, the more often, the louder, the nastier and the more outrageous, the better. If they do this, the result will be better than all of the Mexicans waving the Mexican flag IN THE US, IN A PROTEST AGAINST THE US about 10 years ago. It’ll get people’s hackles up...and that can only result in good things.

The way the Dems handled DACA (they didn’t) should be evidence to those lawbreakers of how they only want the votes, not the well being of their beloved pawns, I mean illegal immigrants.
