Trump furious and s***-posting on Twitter:
"Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release. Getting more dangerous. 'Caravans' coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL," Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

The Caravan:
Alex Mensing, one of the US collaborators who works for Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a caravan of 1,100 people, started in the city of Tapachula, which is located in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, and borders Guatemala. The caravan is currently in Oaxaca, Mexico, about 420 miles from their starting point. Mensing said the migrants would turn themselves in and request asylum.

Mensing said the caravan's primary goal is to "flee Central America" and seek asylum either within Mexico or the United States. About four or five different immigration rights groups are working with the asylum seekers, informing and preparing them on their journey to seek refuge.

Yeeees. Unarmed civilian refugees being gunned down by America's Armed Forces. It may surprise you to know that that qualifies as a crime against humanity, which would see Trump arrested, and arraigned before the world court.

Except super powers aren't held accountable. They can just say "no" and be left alone. The only people punished for anything like that either lost a war or aren't able to stand up to those wanting to punish them. Source: human history so far.

Because, where they're from, it's not safe to live, not with drug cartels running rampant and exercising their dominance with killings in their street. Those in the government who focus on international affairs are understanding of this as literal human lives on the table so they have to lenient.

And realize that a big factor in why they have to escape from their homes in Central America is because the US is an incredible benefactor to cartels. Ignoring the drug flow coming into the US, guns sold to the cartels are mostly from the US (I'm talking at least 70%) and Cartels do business with HSBC for their money laundering needs. HSBC has no problem overlooking billions of dollars unchecked and they are apparently too big for the US government to want to prosecute.

There are miserable countries south of the border. If we are going to call 90% of the people living there refugees, the implied policy recommendation is completely unreasonable. The US does not have a moral obligation to accommodate and house half of Central America.

Their solution was to provide literature about the best places to sneak across. Not even joking, either. Mexico has been a continual bad faith actor in all of this.

Trump Threatens To End NAFTA, Foreign Aid Unless "Immigrant Caravan" Is Stopped

For the third time in less than a week, Trump has sounded the alarm about the "huge caravan" of Latin American immigrants traveling through Mexico unobstructed by local authorities, and seeking asylum at the US border.

Previously, Trump used the caravan as an example of why his border wall needs to be built and also as an excuse to attack Democrats for their part in watering down border-security measures included in the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill. He's also attacked the Mexican government for ignoring the situation, ominously threatening to remember their negligence as NAFTA negotiations continue.

Today, he took his threats one step further by not only threatening to kill NAFTA - Mexico's "cash cow" - but also to cut off foreign aid to "Honduras and the countries that allow this to happen" before closing with: "Congress must act now!"

The migrants, mostly Guatemalans and Hondurans, are hoping to escape brutality and violence that proliferates in both countries: "The crime rate is horrible, you can't live there," a migrant named "Karen" told BuzzFeed News on the side of a highway near the Southern Mexico town of Huixtla. "After the president [was sworn in] it got worse. There were deaths, mobs, robbed homes, adults and kids were beaten up."

As we reported, migrants gathered for the march in the southern Mexico border town of Tapachula in advance of the march - where Pueblo Sin Fronteras conducted introductory workshops to help the Central Americans best navigate the United States once they arrive

As the migrants move closer to the US-Mexico border, the Washington Examiner reported that a third Mexican town welcomed the caravan, which is about 400 miles into its journey, and fast approaching the southern US border.

Meanwhile, every day the caravan marches in a northern direction, is a day in which Trump will tweet about it.


Good.

There shouldn't be any borders and either all countries should be merged into one global government or there should simply not be any countries. These stupid artificial divisions do nothing but cause problems and give us yet another thing to fight over.

The only things we can do to help people south of the border is,

1. End the war on drugs
2. Stop halting economic progress and end foreign aid. Local farmers, dentists, etc cant compete against free goods and services.

We shouldnt feel guilty about advancing faster that neighboring countries.

It still seems suspect. I would like to know where all this info was sourced from in the first place. Trump has made me second guess so many things because it is not beyond him and his administration to fabricate things to push a certain narrative.

I read in a different topic that this is pretty organized and people are giving them supplies and the Mexican government is ignoring them.

If you are concerned that this whole story is a vast right wing conspiracy, Buzzfeed News seems to have ground level reporting on the issue when they speak to some of the migrants.

I don't exactly trust Buzzfeed for journalistic integrity either. This entire scenario may be a reality, which okay. But I'm saying that all of this looks and feels strange and I'm very suspect of all of this being true.
