    At LEAST half, entered this country illegally.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States#Illegal_entry

    Thats OVER 7 million (with old statistics, and no, sancutary cities do not protect them)

    And most are in just a few states (6), and MOSTLY in cities.

    We also know where they have signed up for handouts.

    Also, where they get "ID".

    Time for em to go.

    Lets let America decide.

    The Trump admin has known since before april.

    And they know even more now (and know what steps to prevent this)

    See you at the polls.

    Wait . You're telling me the caravan has grown to 14 million? WOW! I had no idea.

    Try and focus on the subject at hand. When you mix topics it becomes confusing but then that's what Trump wants you to do. Calling out the army is to try and convince you to believe that the caravan has evil intent and are breaking American laws or sovereignty. Neither is true . They are not illegal immigrants.

    Within 3-4 days we will know with greater certainty. McAllen is half as far as Tijuana, so it seems the better choice, but the previous caravan (organized by the same people) took the longer route. In 3-4 days it will be clear if they're headed towards Mexico City (making McAllen more likely) or will follow the route towards Tijuana. I suspect they'll split and most will take the shorter route.

    Well isn't the proper way to apply for a visa at their nearest American Embassy, rather than have a wasted journey?

    That would make more sense. No matter the reason they should be denied entry to the U.S. without a valid visa, and if asking for asylum should only be allowed an interview at the border and given a date to return and check on the status of their request which if refused might require a long walk home if Mexico also refuses to allow them to remain.
    Perhaps all asylum requests should be shared with other countries, so that a refusal by one might result in acceptance by another if they truly are seeking asylum for valid reasons. The U.S. shoudn't be expected to just accept ALL valid asylum requests, there needs to be some limits.

    Of course there does; don't make the same mistake we (UK) have, where we've allowed so many in there's now a dire housing shortage, and the social and health services can't cope under the sheer weight of numbers.

    ....And freeze any of the countries assets in the U.S., then liquidate them to pay for the cost of their citizens migration.

    They've also gone after policemen and corrections officers who've tipped off ICE on their own. Cops using their own cell phones to inform ICE that illegals are jailed municipally and are awaiting bail can be fired.

    I've once strolled through a gaping hole in the border fence in Tijuana / San Diego. I "smuggled" fireworks in a big ol' shopping bag. Jest waited, along with a dozen illegals, for border patrol to drive past the hole, then went across. It was like a damn crosswalk, and maybe 100 yrds west of the pedestrian bridge. In the San Diego side parking lot.

    Mexico is a pass-thru for them since Mexican crime, living conditions and lack of jobs is what they are escaping from.

    Trump says that many people are leaving sanctuary cities. He doesn't lie so all is good, yes?

    Many people? Citizens? Yeah, the taxpayers that support illegals fleeing? That's a good sign. :roll:

    No, as already discussed, you cannot apply at an embassy.

    Actually no I didn't. But the Mexifornia exodus is very real, and stands to get much worse. Real estate / rent is insane. CA has a trillion dollar public pension crisis looming too. Jerry Bron's left his successor nothing left to tax. When Hollywood elitists buy ranches in Montana and put their Bel Air mansions up for sale, you know it's for real.

    You CAN apply for a visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

    Except for a number of listed Countries, excluding Honduras, without a U.S. visa they have entered Mexico illegally. Mexico should apply a stiff fine, and either send them home or allow them a short time to visit a U.S. Embassy or Consulate and apply for a U.S. visa and continue or return home depending on the result.
