2,100 mostly unarmed Guard troops on border as Trump vows to send more to stop migrant caravan

[XenaLee]

Has been for years/decades.  This is what has to be fixed.

How?   It doesn't appear as if the will is really there TO fix it.

[INVAR]

Judging by how many career/hardened criminals I've seen that have already been deported multiple times.... I'd have to say that there already IS a revolving door there.

It's not big, beautiful and golden in it's edifice.

Trump will make it so.

[RoosGirl]

Sounds like the military are setting up medical tents, etc for the incoming horde. Very hospitable of us.

You have your finger on the nub of the problem.  It's similar to a lot of problems with this government.

Not to sound harsh....

but if it was up to me....

they'd be setting up facilities for mortuary services.  (hey, at least I'm honest....)

They sure as bleep wouldn't be received into a field hospital.

We have a family friend who is a traveling nurse who right now it up in New York City.  She said she treated 5 illegals today with measles.  Today.

Which is fine. As long as what you treat them with sorta kinda well no really, makes them stop breathing.

You know that's not happening.  She was pissed that she had to treat these illegals when there were citizens that had to wait because of it.

Since many of the caravan travelers are from other nations (other than south or central Amerca)...

there is no telling what diseases are coming (and have already come) into our country.  Yet another failure of our government to do its main job... what we depend upon... what we pay our tax money for primarily....

safety.

No....such... thing... any more.

[bigheadfred]

Well, to try and throw some perspective at this, over 2400 abortions happened in the U.S PER DAY in 2016.

So why not abort this mongrel migrant caravan?

Some might think that treating them with measles is a bit harsh, but I say if they weren't here she wouldn't be forced to do it.

Don't be silly, that would be treating them "to" measles.

All life is sacred... except when it comes to what behooves the radical leftist agenda to destroy.

There should be little doubt that among the illegals, migrants, caravan crusaders, or border hoppers, whatever you want to call them there is a criminal element as well as terrorist that will inflict some kind of harm to some of our legal citizens, not to mention the economic burden that they will present. 

Bottom line, IMHO the U.S. government under Trump's leadership as Commander in Chief, by not arming the border and telling these people flat out that NO ONE will gain entry into this country, is putting ALL of us at some kind of risk.  He should have also made it abundantly very clear that our border will be armed and those coming across will be seen as an enemy of this country and will be dealt with accordingly, including being fired upon.

He's done nothing even close!!  So far, it looks like he's duped a lot of his supporters who believed him about illegal immigration, amnesty and the wall.  What he said isn't what he's doing.

There is Irony there:

If they hadn't supported aborting at least 30,000,000 of the demographic most likely to vote Democrat, they'd be running the show by now!

Nobody will ever accuse them of being logical OR of having common sense....lol.   They truly are their own worst enemies (thus far).

I've used that argument with liberals for over 20 years, and it stops them in their tracks.


OTOH, I rarely argue with liberals anymore, it's a waste of time.


O/T, my 16 YO son is coming around. He was telling me they watched a video of the recent debate sponsored by Reason magazine, on capitalism vs. socialism. He obviously delved into the magazine, reading some of Nick Gillespie's fine work...he's now one of Nick's newest fans.

[Timothy Dennis]

No.  And you're not going to stop tens of thousands of this first wave of the invasion from coming into this country and pillaging it either.

For all this garbage you people pushed about Trump being this mystical and miraculous savior of the country - this 'fighter' you pretend that he is - you get to watch the loss of your country in his watch, and you will justify it simply to prop up the empty suit you made your prince.

This horde has been on the verge of coming for awhile now. This invasion has been planned and funded by Leftist players like George Soros--who instigated the Syrian-North African invasion that befell Europe. The difference is that Trump opposes the invasion while Clinton would be waving them through the border.

A big shout-out to @Timothy Dennis for quoting this today...would have missed it.

1) President Trump IS a miraculous savior of the country.  And you can't stand it.

Where would we be today if the winner of the popular vote resided in the White House today?

You never fail to disappoint. The tallest dwarf in the house, @INVAR

2) President Trump has proven to being the strongest advocate of Conservative principles the Republican party has seen/heard since Reagan.  And yes, that even, includes spending/borrowing on future income...like any businessman/developer would.

That's to keep the tired argument that deficit spending isn't 'Conservative' out of here.  No squirrels allowed.

Smaller government, less regulation has unleashed the fiercest bull employment boom in most voters' lifetime.

BTW, just as I predicted in here back in the day when Krugman was doing 'Chicken Little' at the prospect of a "Trump presidency".

A historical economic boom...bigger than Pres. Reagan's.

Our girl Friday @RoosGirl can go look it up.

Big whoopdie-do if Trump "opposes" the invasion on Twitter and in rallies for the faithful.    His actions thus-far do not coincide with his rhetoric outside of window dressing.

Let us see if we are going to be treated to nothing more than a giant Trump fart of bombastic words with no substance, just like like his Mexico-funded wall he promised his adoring fanbase.

Let's see if Trump actually does more than placating the outrage with ineffective window dressing.

I know where his party stands on open borders to a welfare state, and thus far, given what Trump had done with the caravan that got in here last Spring and dispersed among us,  I think we shall have just more of the same gaseous expelling of anal gas out Trump's mouth with not even any stool to go along with it.
