I was being facetious. I favor giving them any necessary humanitarian aid, but that’s it. We’re under no obligation to bus them back. If they can walk all the way here, they can walk back.

This post really confused me for a second. I thought I was reading the Sermon on the Mount but I guess it’s just a CAF post.
 
Try the Appalachian Trail instead. Even the fittest American all kitted out and in prime physical mental shape would take 50 to 70 days walking the 2200 miles from Maine to Georgia.

The Hondoran horde are making the trek in flip flops, carrying children. But in most videos I see they’re also many many trucks loaded with men ages 14 - 40.

Well, zillionaire Jeff Bezos has plenty of sturdy hiking boots stored in his Amazon warehouses. I’m sure he’ll be happy to donate some.
 
Well since they are carrying their own flag maybe they should stay in their country to try to make things better rather than running from their problems. Also the Mexicans were calling them brothers. If they and the Mexicans are brothers it seems right that the Mexicans help their brothers and allow their brothers to stay in Mexico.

The 747s is a good plan, but not the most efficient. I think the same trucks that brought them up here would be much faster. What you are forgetting about is the TSA. Of course maybe being foreigners, and ‘immigrants’ to boot, they will get to escape the scrutiny and checks us citizens are forced to endure just to fly. After all we need to be thoroughly vetted to travel domestically but we can trust this unknown horde who only means well.

As mentioned already, I suspect that the US is at least partially responsible for the desperation that these unfortunate people and their children face.

I don’t know about these particular people, but the US certainly does a lot of damage to foreign countries. The US definitely interferes a lot with politics down there.

Really? Is this really the time to be saying stuff like this about George Soros? Don’t you think maybe, just maybe, it would be a good idea to back off the Soros conspiracy theory stuff at this particular moment in time?
 
747’s, C-5 Galaxy’s, it would be a passive show of force. In the weeks it took for them to exhaust themselves to get to the US, just have an airfield. Load them up like steerage, and in 3 and a half hours have them back on home soil.

He does seem to be a one man wrecking crew.
 
Whatever responsibility the US may have is on Obama. After all, if he’s going to take credit for any positive change that’s occurred since he (thankfully!) left office, he has to own any negatives as well.
 
Just last week and I can find the article, 29 people came over on a raft from Cuba and were saved. There we didn’t act. How about those consequences?

I look at both sides, doesn’t mean, then, I blame the USA. Communism was a threat decades ago. The people of Venezuela and so on, still suffer.

Article says nothing about the change of power around 2009:



Excerpts:
In the case of the migrant caravan, the new development is the caravan itself—a social technology that has the potential to greatly reduce the cost of unauthorized migration by cutting out the coyote middlemen.

Good background information, I find it interesting that they say, they are trying this “caravan” approach, so bypassing the coyotes, those who work to cross the border at often, great cost to the individuals migrating even if illegally.

And that, we could be seeing the beginning of a mass migration as Europe saw in 2015.

The usual “more security” and “water cannon” approaches might not work that well.

The unscrupulous traffickers, criminals and exploiters of undocumented migrants has always bothered me greatly. One could do anything to them and it has happened. There have been massacres and others widespread abuses, drug smuggling and so on.

Conspiracy theories circulate the internet concerning George Soros. He becomes the favorite bogeyman of some elements of American conservatism.

Surprise, surprise - some nutcase takes the incessant ranting seriously, just like Pizzagate, and plants a bomb, a real, live honest-to-goodness bomb, at his home (or one of them).

Does anyone stop and think for a minute and wonder if it’s time to dial it back a notch or two?

No, time to double down!

God help us.
 
How would you respond to those who fear the racism in our country? When they see a certain man being elected President, when they see opposition to immigrant peoples (even if they’re illegal or undocumented). People may have genuine concerns about racism and prejudice in our country.
 
FWIW, this is an interesting article:

Holton spoke to numerous people in the caravan who said they joined the trek because they saw advertising for it on social media or heard about it on the news. He says the caravan has been organized by opposition political elements within Honduras who are supported by Venezuela, as well as a consortium of left-wing pro-immigration groups.

So, believe it or not…
 
Lots of wives make more than their husbands. My mom always out earned my dad, and at times was the only paycheck in the family. Her job was the reason we immigrated, and it took dad time to learn English well enough to find a “real” job. I loves it. I was a daddy’s girl and have so many fond memories of having him all to myself when mom was at work and the older kids were at school. He was a man’s man for sure, and that was why he was just fine with mom being the breadwinner. He didn’t need a job to define who he was.

They are looking at a false photograph because that certain man was painted as a racist by MSM and many people believed it. It’s not true… many other people tell of the positive things he has done for all races yet they believe the false narrative…
