Aren't asylum seekers required to request asylum in the first free country they get to? If this caravan is fleeing for their lives, then they probably wouldn't turn their nose up at being granted asylum in Mexico, right?

It seems like it is the view of the left that if you are not in support of any poor person wanting to relocate to the United States, then you must be a racist. No, education? Hell yeah, come on over! No idea how you will support yourself and your family when you arrive? Shut up and get your ass in here! I'm unclear as to whether or not the left only supports poor people of color entering the country with no strings attached or if they would also support Russians or eastern Europeans using the same tactics in droves.

The tactic that the caravan is using is an aggressive one. Attempting to overwhelm our immigration system at the border with their numbers and intentionally exploiting loopholes in our immigration system looks more like trying to seize a ship than fleeing persecution. They should not expect to be met with open arms. We have to detain these people somewhere while they await their trial to review whether they will qualify for refugee status. Unless we put them up in a Ritz Carlton, that will be an issue.
