Hold On A Minute … The Migrant Army’s Obvious Math Problem
NewsMax.com ^ | 10/23/18 | Kane

The invading army seems to be making remarkable progress, hmm…

______

There is a significant and unavoidable math problem when it comes to the so-called migrant caravan that is headed toward the United States border. The caravan is now said to have more than 5,000 people from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico walking north. The people spilled across the border into Mexico when authorities there claimed to be overwhelmed.

Currently they are just over 1,230 miles from reaching Laredo, Texas. According to Google maps that is a walk that would take more than 400 hours to complete.

So how is it that they are expecting reach the U.S. border by Election Day or before? I mean even if these people with no shelter, food, or water walked 16 hours a day — every day — it would take them more than 25 days to reach Texas. Election Day is now only two weeks away.

You see a lot of things are just not adding up.

If the average person walks 3 miles per hour (and they do) — then walking 16 hours a day would get you 48 miles down the road. However, there are kids and families and chaos it looks like to me.

What’s also remarkable is this group began roughly 1,770 miles from the border. That was just a few days and a couple international borders ago. So they have already covered something like 540 miles. That by the way should have taken more than 11 days — if, and it’s a big if, if they were covering 48 miles a day. Somehow they have been able to travel remarkable distances with TV cameras everywhere and not one reporter has explained this incredible feat.

A little more from the article:

I have done some extreme hiking and walking in my life. I was in pretty damn good shape when I did those things. Today walking 48 miles a day on good roads or trails with proper gear, fresh water and ample food would be an epic challenge for me. I have worn my feet raw on some of those trips. It is nearly impossible to cover any distance when your feet are torn up.

We are expected to believe that this caravan of people 5,000 strong is covering epic distances and yet somehow all of those TV cameras and reporters have missed the buses, cars, and trucks giving these people a ride.

The question is who is picking up the bill? You start figuring out the cost of fuel, food, shelter and all of the other things required to get these folks to the border and its substantial.

The logistics is also a serious concern. I mean just coordinating a crowd that large to walk the right direction days after day would be challenging.

This is not random and this is not a coincidence that just a couple weeks out from the critical midterm elections this caravan of hope-to-be-illegal-aliens is on its way to the American border. I just wonder when we will be told the truth about who is behind it and if any network has the courage to tell us.

From Anonymous

Soros is paying for everything, UN and catholic church are organizing, coordinating, recruiting, these people are NOT walking, they are too LAZY.

MSM will cover up who is paying, coordinating. All video and photos are staged to evoke pity for this scumbag military invasion.

"Israel has developed the perfect weapon for this kind of invasion.

It is called Skunk Spray and it smells like a combination of dead animal and human excrement. It is 100 % non-toxic and completely safe – but makes people vomit from the disgusting stench – which lasts on the affected person for about 2 weeks and there is no way to get rid of the odor.

See here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x72yun We need drones loaded with sprayers of this stuff and simply fly them down to the caravan and spray the crap out of them. They will stop. They will turn back, they will give up.

Non-violent, non-lethal, totally humane."

They are taking trucks, and the media sees them doing it. So, they walk for the cameras, then when the show is over, they jump into vehicles. I read an account of it yesterday.

It’s a set-up job, made to make our Prez look bad before mid-term elections. I want to know who is behind it all? Who is funding and provisioning this Army of Invaders?

I sit and watched a little of this yesterday. What I noticed:

Every one is wearing clean clothes and appears to be clean/well groomed. This can’t be if a person is walking supposedly for days/weeks.

No one is lugging water or food or diapers to support themselves, much less a family.

There were several light weight baby strollers with small wheels being pushed in the roadway. Give me a break, the ones I observed wouldn’t last 10 miles

I could not help but wonder how these groups passed through immigration control at previous borders. They most certainly weren’t climbing any walls or swimming any rivers so they had to be passed through immigration check points.

YMMV

Great suggestion. However, I like rubber bullets better. But the Lord has something much better in mind...a nice big hurricane headed right for the Invaders!

Wow .......... I'll tell my wife.

She's been wondering how these people look so damn fresh and in good spirits after "walking" so far!

ps -- Do you happen to remember where you read that account?

” We need drones loaded with sprayers of this stuff and simply fly them down the caravan ...”

Good idea but we cannot simply fly drones in Mexico.

Similarly, there can be no US military boundary 5 miles inside Mexico without the assent of the government of Mexico, which will not happen.

I agree. They are waaaay to clean, chipper, and their clothes are pretty nice for people walking for days.

It's all so easy to see that this is a big BAD joke on this country.

And the MSM has been very careful not to show any MALES WITH TATOOS.
