‘Unprecedented,’ ‘uncharted’: The largest border surge in Border Patrol history

[Cyber Liberty]

@libertybele

You said, "keep in mind that is only one portion of the border.  In FL we have a huge influx from Cuba and this year it has been reported that there is a surge coming in seeking asylum due to 'fear'."

I should have been clearer - I meant the southern border where the divide is the Rio Grande River.  Where the divider of the two counties is solid land, the wall is put on the dividing line.  None of our land is behind the wall like it is when the border is the river.  Two problems with two answers.  We don't have the answer for those coming across the water.  Once they get out of the water, they are on our land and being taken around the wall.

There is a lot of border where the Rio Grande does not exist.  My neck of the woods, for example.

Wherever the location, right now, with the massive invasion, there just isn't time to build the wall.  Trump declared a national emergency, he needs to act.  He's waited and hesitated for far too long.

Correct on all counts.

Uh, the President is very busy now.  He has investigations to start.  Tweets to make.  No time for protecting America.

Indeed, but why is anyone surprised at these unfolding events?
* Nielsen at DHS is an incompetent? Well Trump only appoints/nominates incompetents!
* Also he has tweets on the brain and the collusion/delusion rant to rant about!
Obviously the Wall is critical yet there is a more vital element missing.
Great Nations/Empires such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, Spain and Britain understood that
their interests were paramount and to protect them they needed to be feared not loved.
Rome ruled Europe w/o walls, w/the exception of Northern Britain, because they had
sent a message to Carthage many centuries earlier; "Hate as long as you fear."
Yet we, who are consumed by pretentious moralizing, pious platitudes and sanctimonious
malarkey, insist we are the greatest. But we are certainly not feared as the hordes of
third world trash marching northward prove emphatically.
Compare our first five Presidents to our last five.
Doesn't that say volumes as to why we are in our present very serious morass???

Suddenly a tsunami of poor, downtrodden, poor, ignorant, suffering and malnourished, backwards people from elsewhere show up at the United States border. They are coming in in waves, from far away. They probably could not have shown you the USA on a map, and likely didn't own one anyway.

The question is one of who is behind this?
Who is instigating this invasion?
Who is paying for it ? (--because someone is doing all three).

There's your enemy, that's who we should be hunting down and eliminating.

The send the rest of those nice folks home, and as for the not so nice, I hear desert travel on foot is really dangerous....

Reflective.
The catalysts/drivers in no particular order:
* Latino autocrats who detest us.
* the drug cartels.
* our D & R establishment who detest Trump.
* our money hustlers whose only interest is a buck.

I guess the question is one of whether there is some sort of global socialist cabal who is trying to bring this country down.
After careful consideration, I believe there is, and though Soros is one such actor, I believe he is not acting alone: that there are others at the highest levels.

So-called conspiracy theories exist for a reason: they are an attempt to explain things which have no other explanation, to make sense of a world or aspect thereof which makes no sense otherwise. In doing so, people may create adversaries which only exist in their minds, or may come incredibly close to reality, which, in turn, can be readily dismissed as "conspiracy theory", that becoming the first line of defense for any engaged in such a plot.

Right now, America's greatest weakness is its immigration policy. A de facto invasion by foreign forces bent on using our electoral processes to seize control of the nation seems to be in play, with the full cooperation of groups who think they will use those numbers to their own economic or political (also ultimately economic) advantage.

In the meantime, we import hordes of people uninterested in assimilation, who do not care to become Americans, but to alter the nature of our country (usually toward socialism), and are effectively taking no measures to prevent the invasion. It is as patently stupid as Europe's Islamic conquest (in motion, observable, but the concept in play here, although greatly parallel, seems to be lost on those in power). Despite results with very high confidence in predictability, no measures are being taken to prevent this, although there is a lot of arm waving going on while the invasion continues unchecked.
