    Pretty sure you are wrong.

    The caravan of Honduran migrants making their way to the US stormed through a border gate in Guatemala on Friday morning to run over a bridge to Mexico where they were met with tear gas from riot police before being allowed into the country and continue their march towards America.

    The group of around 4,000 migrants overpowered police first in Tecun Uman, Guatemala, to make their way over the short bridge into Ciudad Hidalgo in Mexican's southernmost state of Chiapas.

    They had been forced to retreat and reorganize earlier in the day after being met with strong resistance.

They have a right to ask for asylum.

    Sending our Manufacturing and Industrial Base overseas does make it cheaper for Consumers to buy 'stuff'. It makes for better Profits for Corporations and their Shareholders. Some things CAN'T be exported, like 'Farm Work'. So, in keeping to the Theme of driving down Labor Costs, we IMPORT Third World Labor. Naturally, once this is accepted, it will catch on and our Construction Sector will IMPORT Third World Labor to do that Work also. It won't stop there.

    The bottom half of American Workers will be competing with:
    1. Robotics, Automation, Artificial Intelligence.
    2. Third World Labor.

    This will create a large unemployed/underemployed American caste of 'untouchables'. As it stands now, these people will be destined to 'For Profit Prisons' where Investors can make money off of imprisoned people.

    Thanks, Althea. You're leaving our children and grandchildren a wonderful world.

    My question is simple. How much do you want to pay for peaches? It's easy to crack down on the construction issues you mentioned...after years of Republican policies that made it easy for the industry to import help. Of course, nobody mentions the millions of Americans who work construction for cash...but that's another story.


    Peaches are rotting on the vine. Don't make it sound like any American will do that type of work. If they did, the crop wouldn't be rotting.

    So how much do you want to pay for produce? Would you pay $1/peach in exchange for American labor doing the harvest?

    He has ratcheted up the angry base inspiring rage even further, saying he might use the military against the migrants.

    Use them to what? Commit genocide? Hellfire missiles? Tanks?

    I wonder how the military personnel feel about being used as a prop in Trump's get out the racist asshole vote campaign.

    NOW THAT MEXICO HAS OFFERED THEM ASYLUM, WHAT EXCUSE WILL LIBERALS USE FOR ENCOURAGING THEM TO INVADE AMERICA?

    A caravan of several thousand Honduran migrants on their way to the U.S. breached Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala on Friday.

    Mexican officials said they would grant asylum to the caravan of about 3,000 migrants.

    Most of the migrants plan to go to the U.S. and ask for asylum or try to cross the border illegally.

    President Trump said that, at his request, Mexico was trying to help control the flow of immigrants from neighboring countries, but that he was prepared to use U.S. military force if necessary.

    Adding to pressure on Mexico to prevent the migrants from reaching the U.S. border, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Mexican authorities in Mexico City on Friday. The migrant caravan was at the top of the agenda.

    “We’re prepared to do all that we can to support the decisions that Mexico makes about how they’re going to address this very serious and important issue to their country,” Mr. Pompeo told reporters after meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto.

    Mexican officials had hoped the offer of asylum would break up the large caravan and persuade many migrants to stay in Mexico. Mexico’s interior minister, Mr. Navarrete, said Mexico will continue with efforts to convince the leaders of the group to assist with the orderly entry of migrants into Mexico and respect the country’s laws.

    Mexico’s effort to offer asylum marks a departure from its handling of previous caravans, when migrants were sometimes given transit visas allowing them to pass through Mexico on their way to the U.S.

    Asylum seekers in the U.S. also face a lengthy and complicated legal process. For those who pass an initial interview, the so-called credible fear bar, will have to prove to an immigration judge that they are likely to face persecution in their home country because of their membership in a particular social group and their government is either unwilling or unable to protect them.

    Many asylum seekers from Central America have said they are fleeing gangs, domestic violence and other crime. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a ruling that said "domestic violence" and "threats from gangs" are generally not grounds for winning asylum in the U.S.

    Those who do pass the credible fear bar and are released from immigration jails will face a long wait for their case to be decided. More than 764,000 cases are currently pending in federal immigration courts.

    Americans need to live in fear, its the only way, your ruling aristocracy will keep you informed as to who to fear. Be ever vigilant. Turn your neighbor in if you suspect anything.

    They'll have a good life in Mexico.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    They won't stop in Mexico. But the DEMOCRATS have lied to them about the living conditions they will encounter in America. Take DEMOCRAT-infested California, for example:


    They’ve led the nation in welcoming illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities, the minimum wage, welfare programs, and stupid Hollywood celebrities.

    Despite all that (especially the leftist brain trust in Tinseltown), the state also leads the nation in poverty.

    And not just because it’s the largest state by population, but by percentage.

    More than one in five Californians now live in poverty, new data released by the Census Bureau indicates.

    At 20.4 percent, that poverty rate is higher than in any other state (only Washington DC has a higher rate at 21 percent). The national poverty rate stands at 14.7 percent.

    Amazingly, The Orange County Register reports, while the state with the largest economy in the country has 12 percent of the national population, they account for a full one-third of all families in the nation receiving money from the Clinton-era “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families,” which sucks almost $20 billion from the federal budget.

    Why are so many Californians in poverty? There are many reasons. One of the first is the high cost of housing.

    According to a report on the housing crisis by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, “production averaged less than 80,000 new homes annually over the last 10 years, and ongoing production continues to fall far below the projected need of 180,000 additional homes annually.”

    As a result, homeownership rates are at the lowest they’ve been since the 1940s, as increasing proportions of renters find themselves rent-burdened.

    According to the California Budget & Policy Center, more than half of renter households pay more than 30 percent of their incomes for housing, and one-third pay more than half of their incomes for housing.

    So while only 12 percent of the population, 22 percent of the country’s homeless are in California.

    But there are other factors, as the OC Register points out: They have some of the highest tax rates in the country and some of the least business-friendly policies as well.

    In a recent WalletHub report on overall tax burdens, California ranked 10th-worst in the country. Meanwhile, the Tax Foundation ranked California 48th in its 2017 State Business Tax Climate Index due to California’s distinction of having some of the highest income, sales and corporate tax rates in the nation.

    California is consistently ranked as one of the worst states to do business in. For the last 13 years, in fact, the state has ranked dead last for “perceived business friendliness.”

    Taken together, California’s barriers to business will, in turn, harm the poor the most. If California wants to seriously address its high levels of poverty and factors aggravating it, like high housing costs, it must relinquish its commitment to excessive taxation and regulation.

    What would a King do in the old days? We'd over run the region and claim we are their new rulers.

    The Mariel boatlift was a mass emigration of Cubans, who traveled from Cuba's Mariel Harbor to the United States between 15 April and 31 October 1980. The term "Marielito" (plural "Marielitos") is used to refer to these refugees in both Spanish and English. While the boatlift was incited by a sharp downturn in the Cuban economy, generations of Cubans had immigrated to the United States before the boatlift in search of both political freedom and economic opportunities.

    After approximately 10,000 Cubans tried to gain asylum by taking refuge on the grounds of the Peruvian embassy, the Cuban government announced that anyone who wanted to leave could do so. The ensuing mass migration was organized by Cuban-Americans with the agreement of Cuban president Fidel Castro. The arrival of the refugees in the U.S. created political problems for U.S. president Jimmy Carter. His administration struggled to develop a consistent response to the immigrants, and it was discovered that a number of the refugees had been released from Cuban jails and mental health facilities. The Mariel boatlift was ended by mutual agreement between the two governments in late October 1980. By that time as many as 125,000 Cubans had reached Florida.
