    Football players may be uneducated political morons, but most are citizens who belong in this country

    Are you a black NFL player who disrespects the flag at gametime?

    The caravan does 'play' well in the midterm campaign, don't forget Democrats are calling to "abolish ICE", so this is a 'natural' cause for the campaign. I've noticed the "abolish ICE!" rant has diminished substantially since this caravan got started, but it is still a very 'playable' cause.

    The caravan truly is an "existential threat", even if they've got a thousand miles to trek, they marched twice as far to reach Tijuana just 6 months ago, not many made it, but this caravan is much larger (and its half the distance). I'd sensibly expect thousands will reach McAllen, maybe not ten thousand, but a genuinely existential threat because of what this implies.

    The implication is that there is some inalienable right to live in the US if one can reach its border, that the mere desire to do so is sufficient to entitle an immigrant to access, that the US does not have the right to reject anyone who reaches the border and seeks to enter.

    They drew a swastika on it before setting it on fire.

    Did Fox report it, and when, because if it did happen Fox would have been on it like a fly to flypaper, yes?

    It was an AP (associate press) photo shot in Honduras which may or may not have been reorted to you by your preferred liberal news organization

    Could it be possible that these people were escaping that hate-filled violence by mobs that was aimed at the Honduran government and America?
    "Organized crime, drug traffickers and the country’s police heavily overlap. The frequent politically motivated killings are rarely punished. In 2017, Global Witness, an international nongovernmental organization, found that Honduras was the world’s deadliest country for environmental activists.

    Although its once sky-high murder rate has declined over the last few years, the continuing exodus of many youth demonstrates that violent gangs still plague urban neighborhoods.

    Meanwhile, post-coup governments have intensified an increasingly unregulated, free-market form of capitalism that makes life unworkable for many by undermining the country’s limited social safety net and greatly increasing socioeconomic inequality. Government spending on health and education, for example, has declined in Honduras. Meanwhile, the country’s poverty rate has risen markedly. These contribute to the growing pressures that push many people to migrate."
    Before you jump to conclusions, read about the situation in that country.

    Trump, as president, does not eat at people because of his presidency. It is his divisiveness, his constant lying, his attacking the free press and our institutions that are eating at "people like you." Nobody is creating things to be outraged at. It is Trump's outrageous
    conduct which is as plain as the nose on your face that has a negative impact on "people like you." And That IS the thing, yes?
