Migrant ‘caravan’ gathers on US-Mexico border for final push
The Washington Post ^ | April 16, 2018 | Gerardo Carrillo and Elliot Spagat

MEXICALI, Mexico — About 175 people in a caravan of Central American asylum-seekers rested up Thursday ahead of the final leg of their monthlong journey to seek asylum in the United States, with the Trump administration warning they could be prosecuted, detained and quickly deported.

The migrants — many of them women, children and transsexuals — were set to board buses in the border city of Mexicali for a two-hour drive to Tijuana to join up with about 175 others who already arrived.

Lawyers planned free workshops on the U.S. immigration system on Friday and Saturday as many planned to seek asylum starting Sunday at San Diego’s San Ysidro border crossing, the nation’s busiest.

Don’t let them in and save the money on detention and trials.

This is a planned foreign invasion. It must be stopped before they set foot on US soil.

Honestly, it’s not that many people. I would just have some buses ready. Load them up and drive them back down to the south of Mexico. If they can freely cross over, then surely the U.S. can freely drive them back and drop them off.

As I see it there are at least four problems that idea:

1 - It makes sense
2 - It would work
3 - It doesn't create any new democrat voters
4 - It doesn't create any work for American lawyers

The courts have declared that once the illegals touch American soil they have "Rights" including a right to a hearing and a right to legal representation.

Well, I guess it’s crazy to suggest that America doesn’t let them hit U.S. soil. Wherever they’re coming across, set up on the Mexican side of the border (it would sure expose Mexico if they didn’t allow it) and load em up and drive em back. Eee haw. Rawhide.

Military tents. If it’s good enough for our military it’s good enough for anyone.

Oh no, you cannot freely drive into deep Mexico. You must get a visa. Then you must stop at a station a few miles south of the U.S. border.

Then, you must come back to the states within the time allowed by the visa. You must stop at another station a few miles south of the border and surrender said visa.

See the collusion?

"The problem I see is are there adequate detention centers to house the illegal lawbreakers while expedited trials are in process.

This is southern Southern California. The climate is such that tents will work just fine. Put ex-sheriff Arpaio in charge.

Well, I say formally request directly from the Mexican government permission to carry out the plan. If they refuse, then get them at NAFTA time.

CHANGE THE LAW.

PUT THESE PEOPLE ON A PLANE AND SEND THEM BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

American citizens don't want to pay their legal cost, room and board etc etc etc... SEND THEM HOME.

The third time they break into our country put them on a plane to Diego Ramirez Islands off Chile - with a hundred dollars in their pockets and let them find their own way back. I'm sick of paying money for an American Court System to be clogged up with illegals.

On TV, there are shots of their tents used as they travel.

I think they may be bringing their own tents.

Better than Border Patrol or National Guard would be for President Trump to pressure the Mexican government into detailing these criminals and sending them home. That would be a huge win for America, the equivalent of Mexico paying for a physical wall.

"I think they may be bringing their own tents."

Even better....they are already adapted to tent living. Put up a fence, add some Port-A-Potties and a place where they can shower, and voila.....almost instant detention center.

In solidarity today, I had beans and rice for lunch. Sadly though, my wife wouldn’t heat up the tortillas in the oven and I just can’t eat raw tortillas.
