America’s Camp Of The Saints
American Conservative ^ | March 31, 2018 | Rod Dreher

This is going to be interesting when — and if — they arrive at the US border: For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.

If Trump plays this right he could single handily salvage 2018:

A showdown at the border with Donald Trump is exactly the kind of media spectacle that could rally voters to the GOP. Washington Democrats had better hope those migrants — who, note well, aren’t war refugees — don’t get anywhere near the US border. You have to turn to apocalyptic, racially charged fiction to find a symbol as culturally and politically potent as that one.

I’d like to see Trump force Mexico to handle this before they get to the border. Or if they do arrive at the border, shut the entire border traffic down.

One more thing, You don’t think those illegals are being terrorized and raped by the cartels and local bandits. That’s a 2000 mile trip. Somehow I see Obama’s sticky fingers all over this.
Where’s the media following these folks? They’ll never report it because it would turn those illegals away due to the graphic. horrific things that happen to them along the way.

Trump should advise Mexico that for each 50 mile advance toward the US border one port of entry will be closed until Mexico deports these ‘migrants’. 100 miles - 2 ports, 200 miles 4 ports. They stay closed until the migrants are gone.

Who recruited them? Who's feeding them along the way? My bet is on Soros money, same as the Palestinian march.

For once, geography is working in our favor. A group like this can't sneak anywhere, so our USBP will be ready to face them down anywhere they try to cross as a mob.

It could have been a showdown between state and federal LEAs in California, but they are unlikely to make the big left turn and head west that far just to find a friendly reception from Moonbeam's state police. But it could still happen.

This "left-turn march" would set up a direct confrontation between California and the FLEAs.

I agree Travis, they probably will go to Ca. Here in Texas I’m sure the governor would ensure they are turned back.

Dreher quoted some idiot pollster:
“By a margin of 52 to 35 percent, college-educated whites affirm that today’s immigrants strengthen our country through their talent and hard work.”

Let the Dems keep mixing up illegals with legals. And they will lose again.

I’m totally expecting them to come here as well.

I can’t wait to leave this place.

“Still, there it is, even though the thousand-strong migrant throng headed north from Central America is scarcely like the hundreds of thousands sailing from India to France in the novel. The comparison is useful in providing an imaginative framework for the kind of reactions we might see on this side of the border (though it should be understood that the scenario in Camp Of The Saints is an apocalyptic one, with all the attendant end-of-the-world hysteria that makes for vivid fiction.) With the novel’s plot in mind, what will be worth watching, though, is how US elites behave if these particular migrants make it to the border.”

If they come to California, Jerry and the rest of them will act just like the people in the book did and sacrifice what’s left of our state on the altar of virtue signalling(which is apparently the only thing that matters nowadays).

New Mexico. You want a state that is wishy-washy so when you win you can claim a consensus that illegals are welcome!

That kind of corruption of the leadership, media and elected officials was the most prescient aspect of Raspail's book I think.

That book will be in league with Atlas Shrugged and 1984.

It’s heartbreaking and infuriating how the events in those books are unfolding for real now.

"This is why we need a wall ... yesterday, not tomorrow."

It's too late for that in this particular case. Those invaders must be interdicted, confined to a 'holding area' and repatriated immediately. Mexico should be punished as well, and from this point on regarded as a hostile power...no different than North Korea or Iran. I'm so sick to bleeding gums death of Mexico.

“...no one has made any effort to stop them. ..”

Could the US hating Mexican government be encouraging, maybe setting it up to force the US President into another crisis??? - trying to make the US look cruel and uncaring??

Warning to stop first.
Second warning to stop.
Warning shots overhead.

Then . . .

Kill every one that approaches the border.
Men, women, children, elderly, the “marching infants” . . . every last one of them.

This is a war and this is an invading army.
