   Congress Must Act to Deter Future Caravans

It’s the only way to meet the challenge to our national sovereignty posed by illegal immigration.

King Leonidas had his 300. President Trump has his 800. That’s the number of soldiers Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has ordered to the southern border to greet the caravan of illegal immigrants originating from Honduras. The band of families and singles, traveling en masse to avoid exploitation by smugglers and coyotes, now numbers 10,000 souls, according to one report. It may take them weeks to reach the United States. A second caravan is already taking shape behind the first. It won’t be the last.

An unauthorized march on a border — any border — is a challenge to national sovereignty. And it is precisely the idea of sovereignty that one of the groups supporting the caravan, Pueblo Sin Fronteras, wants to undermine. The confrontation is all the more emphatic when the men at the head of the column bear the flag not of the country they seek to enter but that of their homeland. Americans who oppose illegal immigration and are concerned at the mounting crisis in our border states, where thousands of family units and unaccompanied children are detained as an inundated bureaucracy decides their fates, look to Trump, Mattis, and the Army for relief.

Future caravans will not be "deterred" by anything that Congress does.

They WILL be stopped by a solid border barrier, backed up by physical force if required.

I disagree.

Kill the incentive for them to come here and the invasion stops cold.

End welfare and any taxpayer or government subsidies to anyone who is not a verifiable and bona-fide US Citizen.

End chain migration.

End benefits of any kind to non-US citizens.

Close the border, limit immigration to quotas and to operate how it used to be: only those individuals that are sponsored by a citizen, and able to demonstrate they will have the means to support themselves for a minimum of 2 years, and can be determined to be a benefit to American culture and society are permitted any kind of visa outside of a tourist visa.

Make visa violations extremely painful and harsh when caught, as they are in every other nation on earth.

Congress can do those things and END the invasion tomorrow.

But they will not.  They would rather every city get nuked tomorrow than to stop the invasion because they think their future depends on it.
