It’s About National Security - And More - Solving the Caravan Problem
Gary Anderson
The United States does not face existential threats to its sovereignty if caravans of Central American asylum seekers are permitted to cross the Mexican and United States borders with impunity - but - in the case of crossing the U.S. border, it would signal that American laws regarding immigration are no longer being enforced. Continued flaunting of rule of law would signify it mean nothing, and sovereignty as we know it is dead. If these groups succeed, hundreds of thousands will undoubtedly follow. Moreover, the caravan marchers are as much a threat to Mexican sovereignty as to our own. President Trump understands this, and he is drawing a line in the sand on the issue. Democrats who see tens of thousands of potential voters for their party are inviting disaster at the polls if they are seen as contributing to the loss of national sovereignty to a real -albeit peaceful- invasion of our country by allowing open borders. Some progressive politicians in urban areas have already undermined sovereignty with various sanctuary cities programs.
