President Trump said Monday that "tent cities" will be set up to provide shelter for migrants seeking asylum.

"We're going to put tents up all over the place," Trump said on Fox News. "We're not going to build structures and spend ... hundreds of millions of dollars. We're going to have tents, they're going to be very nice and they're going to wait and if they don't get asylum, they get out."

Ok fine, but on face value the statement is a disaster. Tent city holding areas while the horde trickles out to prevent the optics of the total capitulation that it is.


I wish the people complaining about this idea would tell the rest of us what they would do. Saying to shot them or have a mine field are ridiculous, in my opinion.

I would imagine they’ll be set up in zones. Single, childless males in one zone, single childless females in another and families in another well monitored zone.

Size comparisons on those zones would be instructive. The zone for single, childless males (of military age) will dwarf all other zones.

I want to see what brave liberal will be the first to welcome the horde of illegals marching down THEIR OWN STREET here in the US! Can you imagine what a neighborhood would look like if they just got across the border and continued into the towns? Supposedly it can’t happen as they trickle through in smaller groups but IF they get through, I think the ranchers along the border - if they try crossing anywhere but TJ, will give them a welcome they won’t appreciate. Those ranchers have to be loaded for bear right about now. I certainly would be...

What happened to the militias that went down there several years ago? It was nothing like this but they went down there from all over the country to stop the invasion.

No need for Tents for asylum seekers Trump, they turned it down in mexico, they have no right to try claiming asylum in USA. They were not in threat for their life by govt of mexico, they were offered asylum there. As soon as they try to make asylum claim to US just tell them to turn around and start walking south, cheapest method rather than plane or bus.

“when a refugee enters the first safe country, in this case, Mexico.”

No, for a bunch of them, the first country was Guatemala. (not sure of it’s safety)

I hope the tent cities are in Mexico, not in America. If they set them up on the south side of the border I am OK with it. In this country - NO. Hell NO!

This is from 2014 but I’m thinking about long before then...We were still in CA at the time - moved OUT in 2006...Wonder why we don’t hear about any more militia movement!

then mexico should be paying for and manning the tent cities on their side of the border and The US should just be armed and manned on our side to be sure no one seeps through.

“Ok folks flame on, but I don’t see any upside to this. “

I see a huge upside. I see new security measures being implemented, I see intelligence being gathered against the gangs and potential terrorists, I see the opportunity for interviews where people are caught lying about families in the US. I also see those people who say they have relatives in the US interviewed and if illegal brought to the camps for deportation.

One thing I envision here is photographs and fingerprints of everyone, all tattoos photographed for cross referencing, DNA testing to ensure families are who they say they are.

What I am hoping from this is with a tougher stance on illegal immigration, people will self deport. But I also see an opportunity for Trump to work with Mexico on economic growth within Mexico resulting in people going back to Mexico for jobs.

This isn’t a willy nilly operation, This has been thought through and the DOJ is playing a big role. If this is all we get from Sessions, I’ll take it as a win.

This is total upside and winning. The way the laws are written this IS the best solution. Catch and hold.

No moe catch and release!

I agree, the judiciary will let them out.

The way I understand it the loop hole was "there was no place to hold them" so they were released. Trump is closing the loop hole.

Totally close the border and don’t let them in.

This would require deadly force which will NEVER happen. So this catch and hold plan is the best solution and long over due.

The tent cities should only be used as a staging area to send them back. Otherwise, tent cities will be a magnet for more caravan invasions.”

Horse sh!t. Who is going to walk 2000 miles for a tent vacation in the desert, MRE's and a trip home in a C-130?

You think the American citizens would back a mass slaughter of unarmed people? I think you have a little water on the brain. There are plenty of other ways to deter these people; mass murder isn’t one of them.

Major downside if they start shooting “asylum seekers” at the boarder. Women and children first.

A tent city, where they are not out in the country to disappear before their court date is better than what is happening now.

They can fast track the process with more judges and deport people instead of having them hidden in the country, working under the table and leaching off welfare, health care and food stamps.

It is. The moment this garbage sets foot on American soil they'll scatter like cockroaches under the refrigerator.

Only about 20% of asylum seekers are allowed in after going to court.

That's too many.

ZERO of these invaders have any legitimate business in these United States.

I just think that putting them in tent cities accomplishes what they are seeking. Once they cross the border and get put into tent cities, the caravans will never stop.

Umm, with all do respect I do not think you have thought this through. Catch and release is the magnet. Catch and tents and trip home is not a magnet.
