Hundreds of US troops heading to the border to deal with migrant caravan, official says

That was Obama.

 

You forgot to mention how you know that photo was taken 1000 miles south of the border?

 

If Trump overdoes the reduction of Federal agencies/ employees, there will be difficulty in enforcing our laws.

 

It happened here with our prison service. Successive governments have been paring down the number of prison officers for about 5 years - now it's got to the stage where anarchy is rampant in the prisons, drugs are being sent into them by drones, staff morale is on the brink of mutiny, and now the government has embarked upon - yes, you've guessed . . . an emergency ****ing recruitment drive! Why the **** do we keep voting for these conos??

 

Sooner or later the foreign mob will reach our southern border

And it must be turned back

 

80% of the mob are men.

That's how they are able to travel 80 miles a day.

Old people and sick people and women cant do that.

 

I dont understand how Mexico was "unable to stop them".

Line up, shoot them with rubber bullets until they go back. Simple.

 

They are not trying very hard

Everyday the mexicans could arrest the the marchers and deport them but have not done so

 

My experience is that very few posters are uncommitted and open to persuasion

The forums are made up of partisans who divide 3 ways

Liberal lefty democrat

Conservative republican

And fence sitters who take great pride in not choosing either party but are just as inflexible as the others

So I do not argue to change anyones mind because that is impossible

 

Why don't you post the whole quote. And noted you didn't disagree with my quote from Trump you know perfectly well Trump has tried to represrnt the convoy as a threat to the US and has claimed there are members od Middle East terrorist groups in the convoy.

The divider in chief isn't sending troops to the Mexican border to defend against women and children. He is sending them two months on advance to pretend to his more credulous supporters that a big threat is on the way.

 

Nonsense! This is a picture from over a thousand miles away.

 

Their destination is the US southern border

 

Yes and there may be a thousand by the time they get there on a couple of months. Trump pretending there is some immediate existential threat is just his whipping up hate and fear because he thinks it will help Republicans in the election.

And we have now seen the results of his efforts in three separate incidents.

 

The military exists to protect the country. I agree with them being on the border.

I do not agree with the way this caravan has been portrayed by right wing media. Seeking asylum is a legal process.

Would you guys prefer they enter illegally?

 

There are of course many middle-easterners residing in Latin America. Hezbollah is heavily involved in the cocaine industry in Mexico and other countries. It would be very easy for some of these to jump on the snowball heading for our border if they felt it was a means to sneak into our country. If you have an actual quote from DT you'd like to share then do it, instead of your partisan paraphrasing. Pretty slim chance there are no unknown middle-easterners in this horde.

 

Hopefully none will reach our border

Trump has not waited for them to show up

He put pressure immediately on mexico to stop them and if he succeeds its a win for America

But dont bet the rent money on it

And I think the images will hurt demos on nov 6

 

You forgot to mention right-wing Trump flock members. I would argue that many conservative and moderate Republicans have no use for Trump politics.

 

They refused asylum according to left wing media Time mag.
Migrant Caravan Continues for U.S. Border After Rejecting Mexico's Offer to Stay
The officers ended the standoff after representatives from Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission told police that a rural stretch of highway without shade, toilets or water was no place for migrants to entertain offers of asylum in Mexico. Police boarded buses and headed further down the highway, while migrants cheered and vowed to trek all the way to the U.S. border.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto launched a program on Friday dubbed “You are home,” which promises shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans who agree to stay in the southern Mexico states of Chiapas or Oaxaca.

Older caravan:

 

Well he has certainly tried to ramp up the fear and hate in the hopes it will hurt Dems in the elections. Probably only work with his base though and may backfire because of the three hate crimes his rhetoric has caused.

 

Not many, and the number is dwindling

 

Trump did not have to ramp up my interest in the mob

But he is certainly leading from in front rather than following from behind obama-style

 

How do you know that?

 

See you have adoped the Trump hate rhetoric of " mob". Thanks for proving my point.

mob
/mäb/
noun

1. 
   a large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly and intent on causing trouble or violence.
   

 

Or, there may be 20,000....The indications are that the "caravan" is growing, not diminishing....

Just saying that, is an example that you know damned well that the voters of this country don't want this sort of invasion, and it is therefore a winning electoral strategy to make this issue front and center....It's a losing issue for you....

Liberals must live in a real state of delusion if they believe that their opponents when winning office should govern like democrats, speak like democrats, and when not speaking like democrats, remain silent.
