How the migrant caravan became so big and why it's continuing to grow

Edith Cruz was sitting at home in central Honduras, scanning Facebook on her phone, when she saw the post about the caravan on a community news page.

It was Oct. 12. She and her cousin had just opened a small business selling tortillas when they were confronted by a gang, threatened with death if they didn't hand over half of their profits. She looked at the Facebook post: "An avalanche of Hondurans is preparing to leave in a caravan to the United States. Share this!" Within three hours, her bags were packed.

Trump has to use every and any means necessary to keep them out because if they get in, it’s going to encourage the living hell out of others. We’ll have millions storming the border.

Fox News had a report this morning that said DHS says there are criminals and MS-13 gang members in the horde.

sadly we must be prepared to shoot, post signs before they get there..large signs read 24 hours a day, USA sovereign territory, all illegal trespassers are subject to live fire, and action will be taken, if you get in line and enter legally all is well,,

If they try to force their way in, kill them, period , or we have no country ..want a country or to feel good about not killing your attackers?

"The military is not trained for a border confrontation like this."

Sure they are. Every military base has a fenced perimeter, and I suspect that all troops have "sentry-go" training. How much training is needed to halt someone and put zip-ties around their wrists???

Take the penny

Perhaps, but you best receive assurance that who ever pays after 30 days has the cash.

I wouldn’t have any problem with it, but considering the fact that even 90% of Republicans wailed like babies about how terrible it was that we were “separating families” by detaining/incarcerating illegals (never mind the fact that all other law-breakers are by definition separated from their families when they’re incarcerated), that would be a tough sell.

How’s this going to look like to most Americans and to the world? Especially if CHILDREN are killed?

It was organized and funded by who?
This is not spontaneous. It was planned so it would bring Trump down.

And apparently plenty of food and water for the trip.

If they don't see a solid line of trucks behind this caravan to supply and feed them, then pre-positioned caches have been laid. There should be a neverending movement of supplies, think WW2's RedBall express.

Good point. Take the million and run.

then I guess the country is not worth saving, I think a few well placed rounds for the leaders of the pack would allow sorting of children from there..there are ways besides surrender if we have resolve..if not we no longer have a country, it is see sawing now with no law enforcement capable of stemming the tide we are facing

agreed, tough choice, a few well placed rounds into the leaders of this insurrection, would allow for easy return processing of the rest..not my favorite choice, prefer a Christian Heaven, but we are not there yet
