You're not very clever: the claim is these people are fleeing Honduras...a peaceful nation ultimately...poverty and crime aside.

Prove these people are "fleeing Honduras" rather than going to the USA for free hand-outs from the generous welfare system.

Pithy idiotic responses from yourself don't count as proof.

If they were simply fleeing Honduras there are lots of peaceful places in central and south America they could get to more easily and which speak their language. They want to go to the US because it's rich.

They want the same opportunity for themselves that we insist on for our money - a border-less world in which to pursue greener pastures.

It's unconscionable that we should deny them the very thing we insist on and actually go to war to acquire and defend.

Like where, Nicaragua? Of course they want to go somewhere that is rich. You wouldn't?

If they were genuine refugees, they would be asking Mexico for asylum, not safe passage.

If yo want to make your country a better place, you don't leave it, you fight to change what is causing your problem.

There are lots of South American countries which are quite stable. Most of Mexico is stable. Other, much closer countries like Costa Rica, Panama and Belize are stable and free too.

So if you bypass nearby safe countries which speak your language and head for one much further away which does not you're not heading there for safety, but for economic improvement. Everyone wants to go to the rich country - because it's rich. It's about money not safety.

It's not just the caravan. Even if Trump did decide to focus on it to get people alarmed. They might make for better TV but the ongoing migration is about a lot more than them.

Last week, only days before the U.S. midterm elections, Mr. Garcia got word from local immigration officials that their policies were changing once again to comply with a court order restricting detentions to 72 hours.

Now, migrants are being dropped off at the downtown bus station – thousands a week – so many that Annunciation House’s volunteers are having trouble getting enough Greyhound bus tickets.

And the USA seems to lack both the money, and the safety. It has billions to pump into war machines, but NO money to put into health care or education.

Caravan Tip # 1: carry your belongings in a baby carriage.

Trudeau will welcome these guys with open arms..

https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/23/dhs-criminals-inside-caravan/

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed President Donald Trump’s assertion that there are criminals traveling in a migrant caravan bound for the U.S., in a series of Tuesday tweets.

Well, according to the leftist liberal actors and activists that work at fake news outlets like CNN, MSNBC and even our own CBC(communist broadcasting corporation)like to make it appear as though that this is utter nonsense. They are all just a poor bunch of wonderful hard working refugee migrants that only want to escape poverty. Why even Mexico has offered many thousands of them sanctuary but most of them refused because they said that they still want to go to America.

Trump has already said that they will not be allowed to enter America illegally. It would appear as though they don't give a shit as to what Trump has told them. But they will give a shit when they find out that Trump means business and they are not going to be allowed to enter America illegally.

But yes you are right? I am pretty sure that our prime mistake will be at the border waiting and ready to offer the many criminally illegals sanctuary into Canada and offering all the free goodies that sucker Canadians will have to pay for just to be able to enjoy having their company. Trudeau loves his 3rd world people, don't you know. It's sure is starting to appear more and more every day that this dear leader of ours wants a seat on some Untied Nations council. And the way things are going he will no doubt get one.

Why does it always seem like all we ever appear to get from our politicians left and right is contempt? They seem to only want to give we the people nothing more than more taxes, more government, more laws and less freedom. Those that I mentioned is what communists minded politicians have to offer. Has Canada become a communist country already but we the people have not quite figured that one out just yet. My opinion of course.

I think he knew the answer, just didn’t want to admit it.

They will have to won't they. I'm not saying the Americans should let them in, I just don't blame them for trying.

Is this there a mod here? Some jackass is spamming the Federal Politics site with Chinese characters.

Feel free to delete this post once read.

I didn’t actually post this as a reply to Argus either, I just put it in the thread reply section but it keeps showing up here.

Hey what happened to the daily fretting over the Caravan and the troop deployment? Could it be that it was just a ploy to make mindless twits afraid for the Election?

Something is still coming but yesterday they still had 2500 km to go, so who knows what it will look like by the time it gets to the border. So yes it was but it ain't over yet.

bush_cheney2004 · November 14, 2018

Send them all to Canada....Trudeau says they all deserve asylum applications and lengthy, multi-year appeals with little chance of deportation removal.

Problem solved.
