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.

But ........... it’s pretty hard to find a “kid” in that crowd.

They would grab a kid and murder him for the photo-op, if needed. Don't assume these are good people.

The premise is based on ignorance

Using the number 48 miles and 16 hours is just plain dumb. It clearly illustrates the ignorance of the writer.

The max is 20 miles per day and that can be accomplished by experienced and very fit people. The women are fat and not in walking shape. The 4 or 5 year olds are not going to make that distance.

The effort is a farce

Many, many years ago the Catholic Church was all powerful. They want that power back.They are just another governmental system. I say that as an ex Catholic. The church needs major change.

There is chnge, for the worse

The current pope is de facto evidence of that change

The invading horde is part and parcel of the Pope’s direction of change

how did a Democrat “The future is female” shirt make it down there?


Stuff that doesn’t sell here sometimes gets dumped in the 3rd world. But as many have pointed out, the mob looks pretty clean and well-rested for having marched all day in the tropical sun. Then there’s one in the center making the thousand miles journey in purple crocs. In fact everyone’s shoes seem to be bright and shiny.

Do you mean that the article is a farce or the "caravan" is a farce?

EMP - Disable their vehicles while they’re still well south of the border and continue to do so when other vehicles show up. Then we’ll see if they’re truly willing to walk all the way to the United States.

Well, actually both.

At first it was the article but on the examination the article provoked, the invading horde.

Given the propensity for fake news, I now question the numbers.

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

So here’s a question of major importance no one has even addressed much less answered: The USA is reputed to have the most sophisticated and high tech and widespread intelligence capability ON THE PLANET, so how come we have not had, to my knowledge, a single report from that community about how and by whom this mob of invaders is being financed and otherwise assisted to achieve this invasion????????????

NBC really knows how to pile on the sugar.

LOL

Its not just a math problem regarding travel time, there seems to be a good bit of disinformation floating about most likely intentionally. For example, yesterday or the day before they were headed to California and there were claims that a second group of up to 40000 Mexicans merging with this group.

Ultimately the numbers, transport time, and destination are of no importance to a country like the US so who is the intended consumer of all of this story telling and who specifically stands to gain through this psyop?

If you walked for 16 hours the first day.... how far do you walk the second day, the third, the fourth? Still 16 hours a day? NO WAY JOSE, Juan, and Jesus.

Without support, a mob of this size would be in crisis, water/food. It can’t continue for long.
