Caravan Now 7K Strong

[Boges]

I don't think the reaction to the two are equivalent. Andrew Sheer and Doug Ford haven't labelled it as an invasion and called for the Military to be called to man the border.

Of course you don't....it's only a big deal when the Americans do it.   Typical.

Caravan now....maybe 5,000

From what I see on the news,most of the people in this caravan appear to be young men and not mostly women and children as some would have you believe. What exactly is preventing anyone from applying to get into the US through normal channels? The immigration laws should be applied and enforced. I admit Canada is just as bad if not worse in allowing an open door immigration policy.At the end of the day,it does not benefit the country.

The Democrats have no qualms about using these people solely for their own gains(votes).

Wow. Blind hypocrisy much?

Well now that the Democrats took the House. Let the Caravan through with Voter Registration cards.

They'd certainly approve. Those MS-13 guys make great citizens.

These people aren't coming to the United States and Canada because of climate change.  That's absolutely preposterous.  They're coming because they're countries are run very poorly, with rampant violence and corruption.  Somebody needs to coin the term Hispanic privilege.  The privilege of ignoring countries immigration laws, and immigrating to another country, skipping the line, and demanding citizenship status.

Last time I checked, Latinos were filthy colonizers from Europe who really had a knack at solving their Native issues.

In what world does fleeing some place with "rampant violence and corruption" equal privilege?

They helped create said rampant violence and corruption...for one. Howz about them fixing their country and not fucking-up mine?

It's a privilege when somebody else in the world facing the same or worse circumstances can't do the same.  They go through the proper process of applying, etc.  They can't just walk across a border and demand things.

You should be so "privileged".  I have no quarrel with how the US choses to manage its borders but to call these people "privileged" is just ignorant.

I disagree...it is a privilege to be able to emigrate to another nation (legally or illegally) and improve one's circumstances.

You consider having to flee your home to improve your circumstances to be a privilege?

Flee? Please...they came for the free stuff.

No, I consider it a privilege to be able to flee your "home" to someone else's "home".

Spoken by someone who feels he is truly entitled, rather than just having the dumb luck to be born where he was.

...and grab a bunch of free stuff. Rebel has a reporter with the caravan...90% men...they themselves say they're coming for the free stuff.

Doesn't change anything...it is still a privilege to emigrate to another nation...or there would be no need for citizenship, borders, or deportations.

Getting special treatment is definitely a privilege.

Exactly.  There's no right to emigrate to another country.  There's especially no right to skip the line in front of other people under similar or worse circumstances.
