Sounds like they are describing San Francisco,Los Angeles,and San Diego

Be wary if they start building a giant wooden horse.

[ballplayer]

Now they are worried about diseases after millions have come across for years unimpeded?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Be wary if they start building a giant wooden horse.

Or building a catapult to throw the infected over the Wall (as was done during medieval sieges with plague victims).

if these foreignors cant understand and abide by what President of the country they are trying to break into says, (No, Turn back, Seek asylum elsewhere, They are not coming in, etc) then we know they will not abide by or try to understand anything lawful in our country. They will just do as they please and manipulate systems for their own gain as they have done their whole trek north.

Interesting comments. Either the libs are just keeping quiet on there, or the prevailing attitude is that we don’t want them here, and they should go back home.

I was surprised that no one was defending the illegals.

[ClearBlueSky]

Precisely! If they are willing to break into our country because they want what we have, they will be willing to break into our homes when they become the majority.
I simply do not understand how people who secure their homes do not see the country as 'home' and want to secure it as well.
Would any of them allow a gang into their homes if a woman and baby fronted the horde? Are we going to tell the world that we will capitulate to a hostile army if they have women and children on the front lines? This is about seeing our weakness-as a nation- and exploiting it. It can't be allowed. There are no pretty solutions to an ugly problem.

It’s all on mejico.

Wonder how they’d twist the story if/when the msm started getting sick.

I don’t think this whole caravan thing is at all turning out as the organizers anticipated.

I believe that they expected hundreds or thousands of Mexicans to join in, so that by the time they reached the border, the numbers would be overwhelming. That hasn’t happened and it seems many in Mexico are fed up with them.

I believe the intent was that the caravan would be so large on reaching the border that one of two things would happen: the numbers would be overwhelming and they would push on through, or else the response would be deadly force. Either one would be a “lose” for President Trump.

It didn’t happen, and more and more people are waking up to reality. I was in the home of a lady of Mexican heritage the other day when a news item about the caravan came on her TV. She said “This is just crazy. Who is funding these people, anyway?” She certainly wasn’t crying in sympathy for them.

[steel_resolve]

Bingo.

[dandiegirl]

The media blames Trump for the decisions of these people to bring their children into this situation. I think most Americans aren’t on the side of the caravan people, even the dems. They just have to say it to go against Trump.

“...Health Officials have little to go on and are puzzled by the appearance of these serious diseases that previously, have been only seen in warmer, more tropical climates.” ... “sources close to the investigation (who wish to remain annonymous) point to global warming...”

“Interesting comments. Either the libs are just keeping quiet on there, or the prevailing attitude is that we don’t want them here, and they should go back home.”

I get the feeling this was supposed to be an October Surprise event that would get the bleeding hearts to deliver the House and Senate to the dems.
Didn’t happen and now the demoturds don’t know how to end it so they hope it will set there and fester until they can make political use of it in a big way.
JMO.

“Wonder how they’d twist the story if/when the msm started getting sick.”

Why, TRUMPS FAULT! of course.

[metmom]

Yeah, they didn’t expect a president who would stand his ground.

They’re too used to politicians who promise the world and then cave when push comes to shove.

Their problem is, Trump is not your typical politician.

They just don’t know what to do with someone who means what he says and calls their bluff.

THANK GOD for President Trump.

Good news on your part.

[Western Phil]

I believe that they expected hundreds or thousands of Mexicans to join in,

The Mexicans that want to come already know how to sneak across the border and are probably not too happy about all the attention the “caravan” is bringing in.

[libstripper]

Best of all, those comments are by readers of Reuters and Yahoo!!, people whose political views are far to the left of FReepers.

[libstripper]

With that many people, an outbreak of cholera or typhoid fever would not be unheard of. Go home, we don’t want your germs!

With so many of them being infested by lice under highly unsanitary conditions, there's also an excellent chance of typhus breaking out. Typhus is what killed over half of the army Napoleon took to Russia in 1812. See:

[Qiviut]

Yes!
