This paragraph is sweet:

Our collective failure to develop and implement effective policies to handle the increased flow has contributed greatly to human misery and political instability—both in countries people are fleeing and in the countries that host them, willingly or not. Migrants are often forced into lives of idle despair, while host countries fail to reap the proven benefit that greater integration could bring.

Catch the HUGE ASSUMPTION here when he said "our collective failure..." Why is there a presumption that we're morally obligated to handle any flow of migration. Why is there a presumption that our borders should just be open doors to let anyone in who claims he's poor, oppressed, persecuted, etc., etc.?

Also, the fact that migrants are "forced into lives of despair" is not a U.S. problem. That the problem of the host country.

So, it appears that it is hard-core leftist globalists who are behind this invasion, and not Trump or the Republican Party.

In an interview with Sara Carter yesterday Guatemala President Jimmy Morales
"We do not want charity, we want cooperation"

He is working with U.S. Administration to find the "criminals" who orchestrated the onslaught of migrants heading to the U.S.

MS13 members cross the border, this is a fact. There are younger illegals that cross that become gang members as well. Seems like every day here someone from Central America commits a violent crime.

Saying there's no proof of a criminal element in the so called caravan is like saying there's no proof the sun will come up tomorrow... True ignorance or willful misleading comment that contradicts history.

He is a rational thinking, adult.
Nothing at all like Burls.
He is capable of acting civilized, unlike Burls.

Shep Smith responds to a Fox viewer who said Trump has special intel about the caravan: "No he doesn't. POTUS has politics."
Shep is auditioning for a job at CNN?
When it come to Shep, you can ignore anything he says - the guy is a total jerk and butt hole.

This is the guy you want to body slam.
FOX's token idiot.

If the caravan gets winting 200 mile of the border, we need to send out troops into Mexico to stop them well short of our country.

If Mexico doesn't like it, TS - let them do something about it.
Please. let them try.

I think we need a 200-500 no mans' land zone - all within Mexico.
Of course, anyone or anything in that zone now will have to be removed. By whatever means.

0bama was calling for an extension of Manifest Destiny when he referred to our 58 states. Trump is just finishing it up for him!

Sucks to be Mexico.

Wow! Just think: The U.S. could have another opportunity to expand its territory. I betcha the Great State of Texas would once again like to be the biggest state in the Union.

Trump should send an Army of Greyhound buses to the border. As they cross, drive them straight to California and let them out at the border.

What happened to Burls? I mean, the Louis C.K. think is a little weak, but otherwise he is no better or worse than anyone else here. Please tell me he did not get banned.
