SAN YSIDRO PORT OF ENTRY (Reuters) - Eight women and children from a caravan of hundreds of Central American migrants have sought asylum in the United States after officials allowed them entry from Mexico, fueling hope among their companions who remain camped outside the border crossing.

Gathering people along the way, the caravan set off a month ago on a 2,000 mile trek across Mexico to the U.S. border, drawing attention from the U.S. media after President Donald Trump took to Twitter to demand such groups not be granted entry and urging for stronger immigration laws.

His administration’s hands are tied, however, by international rules obliging the United States to accept asylum applications. Most in the caravan said they were fleeing death threats, extortion and violence from powerful street gangs.

Didn't Trump say these illegals wouldn't be allowed in?  Is he lying again?  Where is he on this development? 

People, face it.  The president and the rest of the Republicans really don't care that we are being invaded by illegals.  When they promise to build a wall, enforce the existing laws or otherwise take steps to tackle the problem, they are lying.  Time to stop believing the lies.
