Sky News ^ | October 22, 2018

Donald Trump has ordered the military to be on alert over a US-bound migrant caravan as he declared a national emergency.

Referring to the caravan from Honduras, the president tweeted: "Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States.

"I have alerted Border patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency."

He added that the US would begin "cutting off, or substantially reducing aid" to three Central American countries.

I first noticed the Mexican-American construction job site portajohnny graffiti wars in the early 90’s here in NC.

A group of about 20 Mexican construction workers walked into a NC Burger King where I had stopped for a snack. They milled around—yammering—while pointing at the huge menu sign, as though it was written in Chinese. I'm quite certain they were brand-new to the country—in 1999.

Edit: They could have arrived from Miami, where I lived for 45 years. Now I live in central Florida, where it’s actually WORSE!

Nobody, I mean nobody, would support us if we begin to kill women and children.

I would support killing anyone who steps over our border without permission. I don’t care if they’re women, children, men or martians. We cannot stand by and let our country be invaded. If people die, it’s because the damn wall hasn’t been built because the Democrats are pure evil and the Republicans have no balls (and are generally evil as well) - so it’s THEIR fault. And if the world doesn’t like it, boo-hoo for the frigging world.

You do not have a clue how the real world works

Nobody, I mean nobody, would support us if we begin to kill women and children.

You must not have been paying attention when just a few months ago the Democrats and the media worked the nation up in a frenzy over the fake story of separating children from their parents. What do you think will happen if President Trump orders our military to fire on unarmed civilians?

I am not even sure if anyone in our military would follow such an order.

As far as “this is war”, no it is not.

War has a very clear definition, this organized march has not reached that definition...yet.


Like you, I hate to see our own kind getting bent out of shape and suggesting the slaughter of “possibly” unarmed civilians, when there are plenty of nonlethal means which can be employed.

CIB from Vietnam I’m assume?

You don’t understand that line of thought and that’s why you’ll lose with your approach. We should be able to kick a woman out without shooting her.

On the other hand there is gender equality ....

Already a second caravan has formed.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6307043/SECOND-migrant-caravan-1-000-heading-following-first.html

Either we put a punishing stop to the first, or several million people will be headed toward the US border.

IF the first caravan gets in, it will be 10’s of millions from all over the globe.

Has the president told Mexico that the new trade deal goes away should they fail in getting a handle on this? Or is that just implied with the border being closed?

Democrats know that they will lose the mid-terms.

This is the invasion force that will topple the government and result in a socialist utopia taking its place.

The Latin Invading Expeditionary Force has now reached the size of a military DIVISION. The Mexicans are apparently giving them maps of Texas. It is said that enough Mexicans are joining them as they march north that they will number FIVE MILITARY DIVISIONS by the time they reach America! Can they be stopped??

I mostly see single men who may or may not be MS13 or ISIS. But watch when they get to the border. They will be holding women and children in front of them daring Trump to shoot. This will not turn out well.

Yes. Very simple and direct questions! As a Texan, I am getting very nervous about this invasion that no one is taking seriously!

——————
Every single Republican on the campaign trail should pointedly ask their Democrat opponent whether or not they support the repelling of this migrant horde. Or do they support their free passage (invasion) into our country?

Plain and simple. Do you support an American border or not.

And if allowed free passage what do Democrats say when then next mob turns into 500,000 or more? What then?

Answer these questions specifically. No weaseling.
