Saw this on the news tonight. It was staggering. We don't owe everyone in the world access to our country. I don't know what the answer to this is, but it certainly isn't the open border these illegal aliens want. I do know this, we have legal immigration and I am all for people immigrating who bring skills to our country. I know we have discussed this, but the video of a swarm of people walking north with a line longer than the eye could see was staggering. They need to be stopped from crossing our border, period.

The pictures are very disconcerting to say the least...

Devils Advocate :
Seriously...what would it take ? For you to pack a knapsack and sleeping bag plus essentials and leave everything you have known your entire life and leave your country?
Plus these people are WALKING AND BRINGING CHILDREN..

SHORT OF A WAR OR FAMINE..I would not do it myself...
But these hondurans and Guatemalans just keep coming...

At least Mexico trys force against them...

we just go all "BABY HUEY" AND SAY "COME ON OVER & WELCOME NEW WELFARE RECIPIENTS" when our signs say "KEEP OUT"...ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE DESTITUTE and I'M on Medicaid & food stamps because federal law enforcement stole all my money from my house illegally...
I kinda get where they are coming from on some plains of their existence but still...it takes massive balls to walk across central America with almost nothing to the American border...

I have no answer to the problem except that the USA cannot support the entire world like OBAMA TRIED TO DO and now TRUMP has to be the bad man...literally.

Funny, walking under the Honduran flag they look more like invaders than asylum seekers.

I'm guess they will arrive at the border just in time for the election.

The far left want to let them flood in... my desire to not let them flood in trumps any issues that I may agree with the left on.

So no liberal voting for me this year.

IMO, their stupidity is going to cost them seats... at least I hope reason wins.

I think we are all approaching this situation completely wrong... We got so many Mexicans coming up from hondurass and gwatamalala, we gotta start exporting them for profit...

I don't think China even has Mexicans... Think of how much faster and cheaper they coulda built that wall if they'da had Mexicans... And have you ever seen those little tiny Mexicans? I bet Japan would love those...

I'm not suggesting anyone is gonna pay top dollar right out of the gate... But we got so many of them, maybe we just use them in place of packing peanuts and such on freight containers first... Like maybe Sweden orders some water coolers and when they open the box its like hey, thanks for your order, please enjoy these complimentary Mexicans... Then once they see how great they are, they'll inquire as to price and we can start bulk shipping...

We just gotta make sure the first ones we send can cook real good... Cuz seriously, who's gonna taste a California burrito and not want more Mexicans around...

Opel, your logic is wrong like usual. They need to make good burritos, tamales, and chili rellenos also.

Oh I don't know man... Not thinking the Swedes are gonna handle chili rellenos right out of the gate... The Slovaks, the Romanians, maybe... But the Swedes, I'm not even sure they can digest beef...

What makes a better California burrito, potatoes or French fries? I'm a fries man myself, but unlike with politics and religion, I can respect those who take the opposite view...

Whet exactly is a Californian burrito? The term isn't used in the mid west.

If it's got potatoes in it, I don't even want to know...I don't even want rice in my burritos....sure as hell don't want potatoes in there

Rice is gross... Taters is good...

Lots of ways to do a California burrito, but it has to contain carne asada, Pico de Gallo, and either fries or potatoes... I usually add cheese... Avocado is a common addition...

Not so sure about the walking part. The average adult walking speed through a crosswalk is 3.1 mph. Figure about 2/3 that of a child with shorter legs. Of course walking through a crosswalk would be considered burst speed since one has a limited time. Then factor in being slowed by people ahead of you. Obviously breaks are required since such a pace is probably impossible over 1700-3000 miles. So someonnwalking here from say Honduras would need a minimum of 3 months to cover that distance. Considering the need to sleep, rest, eat, wash clothes and chit along the way.

Didn’t this particular caravan start about a month ago and plans to be at our border before the midterms?

Refugees don't wave their country's flag as the march towards another country's border... invaders do.

Perhaps we could ask Native Americans - you know, the ones who were relocated to inarable lands and had their sacred sites stolen from them - what they think of immigration policy.
