Mexico has been sending migrants back. Trump would know this if he actually paid attention instead of stoking ignorance driven fear amongst his extremely low intellect supporters.

0 ( +3 / -3 )

And these migrants keep coming back and most of the time and up until recently many that were caught were sent back numerous times. It is very simple, we have our own problems, our own homelessness that for some reason the politicians don’t care about. When I visit California it seems the numbers are growing day by day. If these people want to come in, they need to do so “legally and lawfully” or be denied and sent back.

The caravan pushed women and children against the fence, then threw rocks to provoke the border guards into shooting the tear gas. They knew the biased media wouldn’t tell the true story and this article proves them right.

Conservative politicians don't care about the homeless.

Nobody is disagreeing with this. We disagree with the dehumanizations others.

BTW, legally means lawfully. No need for redundancy.

Where to begin with this nonsense?

Then who were all those people trying to run through our border? The ones who were “sent back”? Obviously until everyone is sent back, the job is incomplete. 

And nobody was claiming the job was complete. You're starting to argue with the liberals you e made up instead of real ones.

how did that lady in the pic Hillary retweeted walk over 2700 miles dragging 2 kids yet couldn’t get away from tear gas that floated in her direction?

You clearly aren't familiar with how tear gas works; it envelopes an area.

Hint: she didn’t walk. 

Quick! Make up a conspiracy theory because I have no idea how tear gas works! She rode in a Soros provided Mercedes Maybach.

maybe Nike can donate some new clothes to the guy who fell in the mud while running toward and then away from our border.

Nike already donates to conservative politicians.

Reality doesn't fit my narrative . . . Make up a conspiracy theory!!!

Trump called this right. Foreign nationals DO NOT have the right to demand entry to this country, riot or sneak in if refused, use children who are not their own as chattel when entering, make demands about how they are being treated when they get caught, and complain about conditions when they find work under the table, against the law. This country is already unstable and volatile enough, we have our own staggering problems right now that we need to solve, and cannot take all comers, especially not those who demonstrate complete disregard for the law before they even enter. This is exactly the sort of issue that could swing the 2020 election away from the Dems, we must have secure borders.

Conservative politicians don't care about the homeless.

We will never know, the fifth largest economy State which would be California is pretty much all run by Democrats, they seem silent on the issue.

Nobody is disagreeing with this. We disagree with the dehumanizations others.

Then don't break the law, all avoidable.

BTW, legally means lawfully.

Exactly!

Obama knows how tear gas works when he used it in 2013.

Come to think of it, most of the media didn't really cover it, but we did.

many of whom are stone cold criminals

Just like Trump has his own caravan of criminals with Manafort, Flynn, Gates...

Blacklabel:. Obama knows how tear gas works when he used it in 2013.

About half the time you guys say how happy you are that someone is finally standing up to illegals, and the other half of the time you're trying to convince us that Trump is just doing what Obama did.

I guess it just depends on which way the wind blows.

That's right Trump. Keep them out. And if you really go through with it, I actually will get my lazy ass to the booth and vote for you next time around.

Ask yourself what the humane thing to do is?

Hold out a hand or clench up a fist?

There were better alternatives as Trump had months to plan the proper response. But he could only understand hate and violence.

We will never know, the fifth largest economy State which would be California is pretty much all run by Democrats, they seem silent on the issue.

We know conservatives hate the homeless. We also know that liberals do their best to assist the homeless. We also know that Orange County is full of people who support open borders and that people that were raised in Orange County are clueless.

Then don't break the law, all avoidable.

You guys were dehumanizing migrants long before they broke any law.

Exactly!

If you knew that, why were you redundant in your writing by using it?

Come to think of it, most of the media didn't really cover it, but we did

This is demonstrably false.

Nice deflection of how these people travelled 2700 miles. You simply won’t answer because you know what the answer is and it ruins your story.

My answer was quite clear: they rode in a Soros provided Mercedes Maybach.

It's hilarious that you guys expect us to swallow your outlandish conspiracy theories but don't swallow ours. Double standard! Double standard! Double standard!

On a larger scale, but at the same time in 2013 the media was mostly silent on that and even then I wasn't surprised.

I guess it just depends on which way the wind blows.

That's why so many people hate the MSM liberals will tolerate their own, for better or worse.

Ask yourself what the humane thing to do is?

Send them back.

Give me a break, No one thought there would be hundreds of people trying to storm the fences by the hundreds.

But he could only understand hate and violence.

And yet the Democrats are completely silent on this issue, talk about hate, the people with the most money in the fifth largest state and would never, ever live near any of these people.

Trump called this right. 

Uh-oh, not a good sign…

Foreign nationals DO NOT have the right to demand entry to this country

From what I’ve seen no one is demanding, they’re asking…

riot or sneak in if refused,

Riot?  You mean like the Trump supporting white nationalists in Charlottesville? 

use children who are not their own as chattel when entering

It said so on Russia Today and Info Wars....

make demands about how they are being treated when they get caught

How dare you take my 2-year old away from me and lock him up in a dog cage….

and complain about conditions when they find work under the table, against the law. 

You know, like all those farm workers who pick fruit and vegetables for 14 hours all day for 2 dollars so our supermarkets are full…all they do is complain…

This country is already unstable and volatile enough…

Trump…

we have our own staggering problems right now that we need to solve

Trump…

and cannot take all comers, especially not those who demonstrate complete disregard for the law before they even enter. 

Like all immigrants with brown skin…

This is exactly the sort of issue that could swing the 2020 election away from the Dems, we must have secure borders.

“Make America White Again”…

@cla68 They knew the biased media wouldn’t tell the true story 

Which biased media? Trump's personal talking mouths at Fox 'news' (is Fox the US's version of state run media?)? RT/Sputnik, infowars, Breitbart?

Unless you're saying all media outlets are biased, which could be true. Though some outlets are extremely biased, purposely so, especially state run, dictator controlled outlets, in general 'bias' is largely in the eyes of the reader.

From what I’ve seen no one is demanding, they’re asking…

Storming the border and throwing rocks at the border patrol and the military is not the best way to show it.

Riot? You mean like the Trump supporting white nationalists in Charlottesville? 

Ok, now back to the border, so sneaking in is ok? Not legally?

How dare you take my 2-year old away from me and lock him up in a dog cage….

How dare you demand that you be let in for any reason because you think it's your right and to disrespect the people that have followed all the laws and procedures of our sovereign land and trying to enter the country legally.

Like all immigrants with brown skin…

That come in legally, not a problem and never has been.

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

From what I’ve seen no one is demanding, they’re asking

Hahaha! Yes, they're asking... by tearing down the fences and crossing illegally, even when the people helping them asked them to apply for asylum but the migrants said they have no intention of doing so. By "peacefully" overpowering la policía federal en Tijuanes and attacking them, throwing them rocks and the American and Mexican flags they "proudly" waved through the "peaceful" march.

There was a guy yelling "how come the Americans fire at us for just crossing (illegally) to find a job?" Even Mexico can see what's really going on.

bass4funk: How dare you demand that you be let in for any reason because you think it's your right and to disrespect the people that have followed all the laws and procedures of our sovereign land and trying to enter the country legally.

People have the right to claim asylum. The bubble omits that information to generate more outrage. That's why you see Trump fans falsely claiming that foreigners are demanding rights they don't have when in fact they do.

blacklabel: Yeah that was terrible what Obama did, huh?

I think this can safely be considered a zombie lie by now. Verifiable information is out there disproving this point but Trump fans are choosing to ignore it because they don't like it.

Why dont dear little Trumplets all head down the border and start protecting it.....oh thats right they like hiring these people because of the cheap labor costs....

Where are the Democrats that demand open borders for these people? Where is Hollywood? Why is it that these people want their votes, but they don't want them to live near them?

Odd.

People have the right to claim asylum.

But we don't need to grant it, that's the right of the US.

The bubble omits that information to generate more outrage. That's why you see Trump fans falsely claiming that foreigners are demanding rights they don't have when in fact they do.

Then if that is true, liberals shouldn't have any problems with the border patrol and the military turning these people around and making them follow the proper procedures and the adherence to the rule of law.

I think this can safely be considered a zombie lie by now.

No, it's not. Sadly video and documents, audio tapes don't lie.

Verifiable information is out there disproving this point but Trump fans are choosing to ignore it because they don't like it.

Verifiable information is out there supporting the truth and even if Trump haters choose to ignore the truth.

I did so often and you rejected every single one of them, so I know you believe on the full hardcore liberal sites and nothing else and don't care about opposing viewpoints, so I did my part.

Yes, I agree.

New topic:. What do you think about liberals?

Can I lie or do I have to be honest? I will say this, as bad as liberals and their policies overall are, they were still quite reasonable 22 years ago, but now....the party embraced to many Marxist socialists, a shame.

If the border were as porous as some claim, these people would already be in the US.

This means, "I have no sources to support my assertion and I've been caught out yet again pushing falsehoods."

No, it means as I have exactly stated that liberals will only believe other radical one-sided opinionated sources and nothing else.

In your head because they don't exist in reality.

Funny, so people like Streisand and Swift Behar, Cortez, Rihanna, Penn, DeNiro are all lying? Fascinating!

Non-citizens cannot and do not vote,

But they do and have been for a long time.

Brazil is a country with a comparable immigrant demographic and landspace/population ratio to the US.

Let’s rush the border into Brazil by the thousands and see what happens!

I rejected your links, audio, and video? That doesn't sound like something I would do.

By the way, what are we talking about? My comment was directed at blacklabel. But thank you for telling me that you provided evidence on numerous occastions for...whatever it is you're talking about.

Blacklabel: They are. 22 million of them already in the USA. That’s more than enough. If there were a wall, these people wouldn’t have gotten in.

Since 2007 the vast majority of illegals are here for overstaying their visas. Explain how the wall would have kept "these people" out.

Bass: https://cis.org/Cadman/California-DMV-Improperly-Registering-License-Applicants-Including-Aliens-Vote-Oops

Uh, bass, can you point to the part of the article that says illegals voted?

"The DMV says that the 1,500 improper registrations do not include any illegal aliens, according to SFGate.com."

"The Los Angeles Times notes: “Elections officials canceled the [errant] registrations. And though absentee ballots will begin going out this week, they said the bar code on each individual ballot would ensure that no votes would be tallied on election day.”"

You're allowed to rant and say, "sheesh, like I'm going to believe that." But that's not evidence of your position that illegals voted. That's just you saying you aren't going to believe California and you're just going to assume illegals voted.

"The DMV says that the 1,500 improper registrations do not include any illegal aliens, according to SFGate.com."

It was never proven that they weren’t either.

In May 2016, CBS2 Los Angeles identified 265 dead voters in southern California. Many cast ballots “year after year.”

The Heritage Foundation’s non-exhaustive survey confirms, since 2000, at least 742 criminal vote-fraud convictions.

North Carolina announced in April 2014 that 13,416 dead voters were registered, and 81 of them recently had voted. Among 35,750 North Carolinians also registered in other states, 765 voted in November 2012, both inside and outside the Tarheel State.

South Carolina’s attorney general concluded in January 2012 that 953 people “were deceased at the time of their participation in recent elections.”

The Public Interest Legal Foundation recently discovered that Virginia removed 5,556 non-citizens from its voter rolls between 2011 and last May. Among these non-Americans, 1,852 had cast a total of 7,474 illegal ballots across multiple elections.

So once again the evidence states the obvious and if the Dems want anything done on all of this scandal and illegal voting, the best way to curtail this and to shut everyone up is to institute voter ID, that way everyone is covered and neither side can scream illegals don’t vote and the other voters are being suppressed, that will take the venom out of the entire argument

Bass: It was never proven that they weren’t either.

Oh, well if that's your evidence then we're good. You can insert any group into the "never proven that they didn't vote" argument. I guess you chose illegals because it's as good as any other unproven group.

the best way to curtail this and to shut everyone up is to institute voter ID

I know the drill. Find a handful of situations where voting has discrepancies. Use it to pass laws that remove hundreds of thousands (or sometimes millions as in Georgia) of legitimate voters from the voter rolls. Make the criteria such that a majority of those removed are Democrats. Claim that it's just a coincidence. Repeat.

The only question is what to do about the Republicans who proudly claim that these laws will help ensure a GOP government for years to come. More than a few idiots have gone on record publicly saying this. Seems so odd when, ya know, they're just passing laws to protect the integrity of our democracy.

Ok, so Obama gets 90% of the Black vote and over 65% of the Latino vote. Well, that suppression vote just flew right out the window.

As long as Trump and McConnel keep backing the courts with conservative judges in the case there is another Democrat President, they’ll be able to block or stall a lot of the progressive agenda, add to that a Now right leaning Supreme Court and the Dems are climbing a pretty steep hill.

There's no connection between number of voters and who they voted for by percentage. Maybe 90 out of 100 voted for Obama or 90,000 out of 100,000. Same percentage, different turnout.

Black said something similar so my guess is some right wing writer is duping you guys. Now you are spreading it outside of the bubble and others are applying the critical thinking that you skipped. Happens a lot.

Stage 3 is when you abandon the point and just rant about liberals.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday Mexico should send Central American migrants seeking asylum in the United States back to their homelands, a day after U.S. authorities shut the country's busiest border crossing and fired tear gas into a crowd there.

.....It was the latest chapter in a saga that has pitted Trump's tough immigration line against thousands of migrants who have made their way north through Mexico from violent and impoverished Central American countries.

.....Trump went further on Monday, saying Mexico should send the Central Americans, mostly Hondurans, back home.

Illegal alien invaders, who are "mostly Hondurans", illegally invaded Mexico, and now intend to illegally invade the U.S.. Trump suggested that Mexico return these illegal aliens back to their country of origin. Sounds like good advice. Hasta la vista, invaders.
