Caravan asylum-seekers heading toward showdown at US border
Fox News.com ^ | April 29, 2018 | William La Jeunesse, Travis Fedschun

A caravan of hundreds of Central Americans that has traveled through Mexico over the past month will arrive on the southern U.S. border on Sunday, setting up a showdown at the nation's busiest border crossing as the group turns themselves over to border inspectors seeking asylum.

The group of roughly 200 people, including women and young children, is expected to turn themselves over to border inspectors at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing around 4 p.m. ET after arriving in Tijuana last week, claiming they have a credible fear of persecution at home. Demonstrators gathered along the border to hold a rally in the hours before crossing over, with some people scaling the fence.

"The only thing I would tell Mr. Trump is to have a conscious and to look at all the people and the way they suffer. Because the people, they are coming from those countries, they are not doing it for pleasure," Osman Salvador Ulla Castro, who is from Honduras, told Fox News. "They face danger and extortions and they are looking for a better life."

The Border Patrol said Saturday that several groups of families from the caravan tried to enter the U.S. illegally by scaling parts of the "dilapidated scrap metal border fence" near San Ysidro.

Then go back and fix your damn countries. Why do you allow them to be such shitholes?

For some odd reason this border thing reminds me of a Jackass stunt where they dangled cattle-prods and stun guns along a hallway and then ran through it.

Toll crossing - no USA citizenship papers or valid crossing papers, then pay a $10,000 toll to cross, expires in one week. No refund. Don't voluntarily leave within a week, then permanent ban.

Or security at the border can simply say "No!" and turn them back. What is with the "receiving" mentality, why give "asylum"? They are alien invaders who hate our culture, turn them back or shoot them. Just don't let them in!

There are 20 lawyers down there who are going to coach the invaders to tell them exactly what to say to exploit our ridiculous laws.

Why didn’t they accept the offer of refuge from the Mexican government.

No visa, no entry.
If they want asylum, ask Mexico.

“”The only thing I would tell Mr. Trump is to have a conscious...”

It’s not just “Mr. Trump”, millions of other Americans are tired of foreign parasites invading our land. Trump is only doing what is lawful, and demanded by the people.

Go back home, and talk about YOUR own “leaders” the way you do ours, and see how long you last.

Who wants to live in a place that’s already a shithole when they can go somewhere else and turn it into a shithole.

Because they aren't really refugees. They're invaders intent on bringing their criminals enterprises to the US.

"The only thing I would tell Mr. Trump is to have a conscious (conscience), to look at the way the people suffer.......they are not doing this for pleasure. They face danger and extortions and they are looking for a better life."

These Third Worlders think Americans believe them? "Grab as much as you can" is written all over them.

Let them in, and faster than you can say "a side of frioles," they'll be sucking off the backs of taxpayers, using several identities.....and sending OUR money back to the home countries they say they detest.

Mr Trump DOES have a conscience, thank you, and he's using it to protect American citizens from these parasites.

Send those illegal aliens back to their countries along with those lawyers. We would be better off without any of them.

This is why it’s so important to have the citizenship question on the census. I would be willing to bet there is between thirty and forty million illegals in this country with most on government assistance
