Quote
Before the midterm elections, President Trump crossed the nation warning those attending his rallies of the oncoming threat of about 7,000 Central American migrants who are traveling through Mexico to seek asylum in the United States.

While campaigning in Chattanooga, Tenn., for Republican Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn last Sunday, Trump suggested that the migrants were looking to come in and disrupt Americans' lives.

“That’s an invasion. I don’t care what they say. I don’t care what the fake media says. That’s an invasion of our country,” he said before rally attendees began chanting “Build the wall.”

“I am telling the caravans, the criminals, the smugglers, the trespassers marching toward our border, turn back now, because you are not getting in. Turn back,” Trump added.

Trump saved America again, because it's no longer a problem...like North Korea.  MAGA!!!

You clearly missed the President's press conference on Wednesday and all of the questions he answered on the "caravan" .... not to mention the dustup when the President continued to call this an "invasion" and not a "caravan" @Once-Ler

You also missed yesterday's news about the WH making illegal border crossers ineligible for asylum.

Things move fast, very fast.  Perhaps the DU isn't your best source for news.

You need to come up with an actual argument, not just insults.  Or, maybe you can't?

I just got off the phone with him and he reassured me that he is still planning to block the alien invasion.

We will see what happens.  They are still coming.  Last I heard 5-7 thousand of them.  I predict that Trump and Trump and Graham will work together for one of the biggest amnesty deals.  The wall will not be built.  He will fill AG with someone who doesn't have the will or drive to stop the invasion.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I think he's moving in the opposite direction. He's changed the rules on applying for amnesty. He's challenging the legality of DACA. He's going to sign an EO about birthright citizenship. If the rulings go in his favor at the SCOTUS it will create a lot of pressure on Congress to resolve the issue.

Obviously, President Trump is moving strongly in the opposite direction.  His recent change of the amnesty rules has weakened the resolve of the caravan.

But truth will spoil the enjoyment some of our dear NTers in their constant whining.
