There are three migrant caravans headed to the United States’ southern border with Mexico, according to top Pentagon official John Rood.
Rood testified to the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday that one of the caravans contains over 12,000 migrants.

“Current information shows that a caravan of over 12,000 people — there’s three that we are tracking, that the DHS is tracking en route, one that is over 12,000 by the latest estimate,” said Rood, who is the under secretary of Defense for policy.

My take: Flooding your enemy with refugees is an ACT OF WAR. We need to get tough with whichever countries are allowing these caravans to form.

12,000 plus people is a shit ton of people . Fox had video this morning of a large crowd waiting on buses that were picking them up and taking them further north. Somebody has to be paying for this and pushing it. Where are they getting food, etc.

I will ask this as I have in several threads but haven't got an answer (and can't seem to find one fishing around on the internet): Is the "time limit" on holding these vermin established by a judge's decree or is it part of the f****d up asylum law itself?

If it is only a judge's edict then Trump should ignore it effective IMMEDIATELY and let the inevitable appeal go to the SCOTUS.

Emergency declaration in 5 4 3.............?

CRISIS LEVEL REACHED:

The number of migrant families crossing the southwest border has once again broken records, with unauthorized entries nearly doubling what they were a year ago, suggesting that the Trump administration’s aggressive policies have not discouraged new migration to the United States,” the Times reports.

“More than 76,000 migrants crossed the border without authorization in February, an 11-year high and a strong sign that stepped-up prosecutions, new controls on asylum and harsher detention policies have not reversed what remains a powerful lure for thousands of families fleeing violence and poverty.”

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reports that 76,103 migrants appeared at ports of entry and illegally crossed between ports in February. This is the largest number of apprehensions and inadmissible migrants for a February reporting period in 12 years, CBP stated Tuesday.
Of the 76,103 migrants who came to the border seeking admission or illegally crossing between ports of entry, 62 percent were family units and unaccompanied minors. This presents both a border security and humanitarian crisis at our southwest border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan said in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

United States Border Patrol Chief of Operations Brian Hastings told reporters that during February, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 66,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico between ports of entry. This is up from nearly 48,000 in January — a nearly 40 percent increase. When compared to the first five months of Fiscal Year 2018, this fiscal year has seen a 97 percent increase, he stated.

My take: What other term can you use to describe this except "invasion?" Yet people like Rand Paul are more worried about some procedural or technical legal horseshit that protecting our country.

So what has Paul done?

So what has Paul done?

He's voting against the emergency declaration, which most legal scholars have said is perfectly within Trump's authority.

Bet most say the same thing about the bump stock ban.

Paul has called for taking away the incentive to enter illegally. Cutting off subsidies and nailing those who hire/shelter them when they get here would likely negate any need for a wall in the first place but would rapidly free up funds to build it.

That has nothing to do with the immigration issue. Stop muddying the waters.

I agree with that sentiment, but hampering an emergency measure certainly does not help the situation, especially when some very smart people have said that the emergency declaration does not violate the law. Rand Paul is just full of shit on this one.

Yup, this is way beyond an immigration issue at this point. There HAS to be something more behind this that is actively being kept from the public eye on U.S. soil.

Those that think that this is just a border state issue are about to have a very rude awakening. Still surprises me to this day how many people can't grasp the concept that these folks are not staying in the border states when they cross, they are going pretty much everywhere else but.

I don't know what's worse anymore. Those pushing for this or those that are turning a blind eye or are willfully ignorant.
