Again, cool story.

There is a mass of people heading towards our border where people have been coming and going from that mass. They are not all refugees and they are not all immigrants. It is a mix of both. Sorting them out is going to be difficult if it is even possible and the possibility of even doing so is eliminated if they rush the border.

So yeah Refugee vs. Migrant?

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.

No Mike, you're the guy with the cool story about the caravan and the people who are part of it.

You're as distracted as they would have hoped you would be by this trump bullshit.

If you were trying to get your family to a safe place you'd use any means necessary same as these people.

Actually no, it isn't my story Rusty. It is a story covered by NBC and CNN reporters on the ground embedded with the caravan. Both networks have been reporting that people from Mexico are adding to the caravan and also that people are leaving the caravan as it moves along.

Again, there are people that might be qualified as refugees and people that most definitely are not mixed in with one another. That is a problem as they will need to be sorted and that is not something that can happen if they rush the border. People genuinely seeking refuge and qualify for it vs. those taking advantage of the situation and hoping to go along for the ride.

So unless CNN and NBC are all of a sudden pushing Trump agenda, your little comment and attempt at an backhanded insult is way off base.
