Question

Any thoughts about who is payinig for this?

Oct 22, 2018 10:49AM PDT

Caravan thru Mexico....7000 strong now X $7000 each, give or take = $49 MILLION dollars even with hurricane force weather coming right at them from two separate but simultaneous storms (one an actual hurricane, the other a tropical storm).

Who organized this just before our election, do you think? And would be willing to put children at risk? From news reports from various sources, most are traveling via vans and trucks and only get out and actually walk when news cameras are in place to tape it.....and everybody except Fox has noticed and estimated that 90% of them are young, healthy men between the ages of 15 and 35 (the rest are women and children), and from every newsfeed that I've seen, NONE of them appear to be underweight or even in tattered clothing. IF they had no jobs where they are coming from HOW are they eating so well and buying pretty decent looking clothing?

If I sound unsympathetic, I am......I just can't buy the "We're running away to have better lives" garbage when NONE of them are seeking asylum in MEXICO and everyone I've seen interviewed so far have all stated they are heading to the USA deliberately. Mexico is an international country that offers asylum, so why not ask for it there instead since they are already in that country and out of 'harm's way'?

There are a ton of US immigration attorneys traveling with them, and at least one person interviewed admitted that he was being 'taught' how to answer questions at the US border when he asks for 'asylum'....

only get out and actually walk when news cameras are in place to tape it..

AND

the news cameras ONLY report it WHEN they get out and are actually walking, otherwise they would be just a bunch of vehicles driving down the road?

Vehicles on the road?

6 of one, a half dozen of the other.

Would THAT make the news? Unless it's a major accident on I 95 South?

Do you think a vehicle would get anywhere near the bridge that was a full of people?

Well then post the facts you rely on.

FACT..Trump supporter believes that Trump says it's OK to grope a woman

The man was charged in New Mexico with "abusive sexual contact" after he allegedly touched the breasts of the passenger sitting in front of him.

The woman was helped by aircraft staff to find a different seat and the man was arrested on arrival in Albuquerque.

Mr Trump was once recorded boasting about grabbing women by the genitals.

According to the criminal complaint released by the district court in Albuquerque, the accused told police "that the President of the United States says it's ok to grab women by their private parts.

POTUS should think BEFORE he speaks and then say nothing.

It's good to see some groups in America are getting along with other countries. (this is where you jump in and say that I agree with you). Because you don't recognize sarcasm.

I saw that Q& A session....Pence looked AWWKKKWARD!!! when El Presidente asked him if "he would like to say something".

When HE asks "would you like to say something" that means HE is pulling your string, you know what to say.

Pence looked like he was constipated while trying to figure out what he was going to say, without offending El Presidente.

After TheRUMP made Pence make the statement(pulled his string)... TheRUMP said THERE IS NO PROOF OF ANYTHING.

Oct 24, 2018 4:40AM PDT

So for the moment we have a group of young men thinking life in the USA is be better than life in Honduras. They might be right.
It's up to the USA border staff to tell them about the rules.

In Europe we see a lot of people from Africa thinking life here is better than there. It's kind of difficult to keep them from trying. One of the official lines now is pouring money across Africa to help the governments there to give them a better future there. That's a rather big task, and success is far from guaranteed.

When he said that
Oct 24, 2018 7:28AM PDT

he was answering a direct question from one of the 'reporters' about whether there were actually MS-13 gang members or Middle Easterners in the caravan. However, later on in the day, there were ACTUAL reporters who had embedded themselves into the hoard pretending to be members of the caravan and they ASKED others about that and were told that either they KNEW of others who were or ADMITTED that they were.

Also, there were some who were interviewed in Honduras as the caravan started why they were leaving and the response was 'for the jobs/money in the USA'.....BUT when they entered Guatemala, those SAME people were asked AGAIN why they were leaving, and the story line changed dramatically to 'escaping the gangs/persecution' so it's obvious that they had been 'schooled' along the way of what to say when asking about asylum because poverty ISN'T a 'get in free' card to play.
