Geraldo Rivera: Immigration advocates should strike a bargain with Trump. Here's what I propose
Fox News ^ | October 22, 2018 | Geraldo

Posted on 10/22/2018 4:12:06 PM PDT by conservative98

What would the Army do against a caravan of civilians, many of them women and children, anyway? Shoot them?

The Republicans see this caravan as the perfect issue to rally the base and insure a big, robust turnout for the mid-term elections now two weeks away. Democrats would like to pretend that the caravan is just a giant day-care center filled with needy children that the heartless president doesn’t care about.

This crisis calls for reason, patience, compassion and an immediate parlay among the affected nations in Central America, Mexico and the United States. In exchange for leniency and a path to citizenship for long-time undocumented residents already in this country--who were brought to the U.S. as children by their parents--pro-immigration advocates, like me, should announce our support for President Trump’s border wall. It will help restore order along the southern border, and mitigate the hysteria currently gripping the national immigration debate and tainting the mid-term elections.

It's hilarious how Jerry Rivers and other entertainment industry nitwits presume they know how to negotiate anything, particularly with one of the greatest negotiators in history. There will be NO DEAL until he gets everything he wants. Rivers should stick with tasteless selfies and yellow urinalism.

Nope. No bargaining.

Simultaneously build the wall and deport ALL illegals.

It is, in my opinion, fear of our nation being over-run by poor, hungry, brown people in sufficient numbers to change our basic national character, which motivates most critics of this caravan and, more broadly, illegal immigration.

I would call that a legitimate fear. If I wanted to live in Mexico or South America I would move there. I don’t want it here.

I have come to loathe geraldo. The majority are not women and children. https://twitter.com/i/status/1054524248063176704

More broadly, the drugs, the diseases brought, the familiarity with and use of violence, and finally, the sex trafficking are intended to poison us like rotten apples. People used to dictators themselves become such.

The age of consent in Mexico - and now, France- is 12. 12

We are a country, not a charity.

Who cares what Jerry Rivers thinks? I can’t understand why Fox News hires folks like Repulso and Marie Harf. Ugh!

“We CAN NOT let in all the women and children of the Third World, and put them in our welfare system, and survive as a nation.”

You might think that we could figure out that the problem is “our welfare system”.

You cannot offer a free lunch and then complain about who shows up.

It’s a false generosity to offer someone else’s goods, thinking that someday you might be the beneficiary.

Instead - Lineup soldiers 3’ apart w/ M16s, their orders are to defend themselves. Then tear gas, flash bomb, concussion grenade the you know what out of these people till they quit and go home. Maybe time for rubber bullets too. Handle it like one big riot.

Remind the world that we take in immigrants and even quote the Statue Of Liberty, BUT remind everyone that there is a PROCESS that is to be followed w/o exception.

If we cave into this mob, there will be another mob that is even larger w/ more sick babies and mommies that CNN would love to film.

Here’s what I propose:

- Give each of these poor migrants a nice, hot meal - they’re likely hungry.
- Give each of these poor migrants a nice, comfortable seat - they’re likely tired.
- Then drive the bus they are sitting on south, while they eat, until they get back where they started.
- Kick them out where they belong.
- I’m generous. As a bonus, give them each a second MRE to eat once they are home.
