Oh, and look at Associated Press, look how mean and nasty they are to write bad things about those "refugees", how violent they really are. Right? Talk about irrational. :D

Spin baby spin.
Exactly how many have committed violence out of the thousands? I'm sure the ratio is probably equal to Americans already here, Spin indeed..

Since you mentioned my name so I will reply in kind.

So you think we will just let them in and then later they will show up in court as promised?

Funny how you would NOT dare to reply to my post about how violent those "refugees" are. Calm and calculated as your claim, eh? You were saying something about understand it?

My point is that they're not ILLEGAL. The rest of your rant is your usual emotional BS. Halloween must be a really terrifying time for you.

Are we safe yet from the foreign invaders a thousand miles away from our border...

Should we send more troops?

You can call them whatever you want. I will call them for what they really are. I have stories from AP, what do you have to dispute them? Facts are facts.

BS you said? Uh huh. Calm and calculated, eh?. Keep telling those lies to those gullible.

Once again, the people in the caravan, should they ever even make it to the US border, are not intending to the US illegally. The intent is to request asylum which, in the highly unlikely event it is granted, is a form of legal immigration.

Do I need to put that in all caps so that Svnla can understand it?

If that were true, I would expect them to stop at any one of the many US consulates in Mexico, no?

As I said before, we have our own problems with criminals, do you want to import more? I don't and other sovereign countries feel the same way. That's why they are cracking down. Emotional BS indeed. LOL.

Scroll up and see for yourself a link or two I posted a day or two before about how they rejected several offers from Mexico but Jhhnn tried to spin and said those "refugees" need to get to Mexico City to do it. LOL.

A story from AP, a well known news source. Talk about full of emotional BS indeed. Must. Stop. Laughing. Too. Hard.

How many? We can turn those back and deny them the right to apply for asylum. You want to follow the law, don't you?

Oh noes! A ragtag group of refugees is marching through Mexico to attack the most powerful nation in all of history! We're all gonna die!

Holy fucking shit what a bunch of fucking pussies!

Somebody wake me up when our country is in some kind of legitimate danger. Yaknow, like it's the Russian or Chinese armies marching through Mexico.

So what do you expect the government to do while we process their claims? Let them in and they will magically show up later as promised?

Not only have they refused help from Mexico, looks like theyve passed at least one consulate already. Guess we'll see if they stop in the main embassy in MX City.

A bigger question than that is, they're not Mexican citizens or in Mexico legally, so why hasn't our supposed allies, the Mexican government, done anything to stop them?
I mean, here we are, under threat from a mighty invasion force.. that is walking unhindered through our ally's countryside? Hmm... that seems odd, dontcha think?

They aren't stupid, they know the cartel's influence reaches far into Mexico including it's police and troops.

You or I cant answer this. Nor do you or I know who exactly is in the caravan. That is why we have processes to vet asylum seekers and refugees.

Whatever the laws say.
Wait, what? You mean that there are already laws in place to effectively handle this kind of thing? How can that be when the President is saying otherwise?

The article plainly stated that the caravan decided to go to Mexico City, not that they had to do so. Why do you care, anyway? Mexico City is 1000km away from the US border. You might want to wait until the caravan gets a teensy bit closer before getting all hysterical.

Oh, wait, I forgot. You've been listening to Trump again, haven't you? When he said it's a national emergency you actually believed him. Of course you did.

Applying for asylum at a consulate means an endless stream of catch22 paperwork, I'm sure. Which doesn't get you anywhere for a long time, if ever. When you show up at a border crossing, they have to deal with you directly. They have to take you in, even if you're just locked up until deported. They literally throw themselves at our mercy, such as it is.

BTW if you read the yahoo article posted earlier, you will clearly see Mexico is making it difficult for them.

You have serious misconceptions of legal immigration process. Believe what you want I guess.

Why Mexico City? I have been to Mexico a few times and it is not like the rest of the country has no running water and no electricity and the only place those "refugees" can do their claims is Mexico City. There are US consulates around Mexico, not just Mexico City only.

Did I say anything about DT in this thread or anything about national emergency as you claimed? Nope, nada, zip. But of course, you have to spin and diverse because you have nothing to back up your assertions. Need to learn how to lie better, eh?
