On the Caravan

'Ellen' Producer Attacks Melania Trump To Promote Migrant Caravan. Team Melania Hits Back.  . . . "First Lady Melania Trump, a legal immigrant to the United States, was targeted by talk show host Ellen Degeneres' executive producer on Monday.
"While promoting the 7,000-plus migrant-packed caravan headed toward our Southern border, Andy Lassner of "The Ellen Show" wrote via Twitter, "I'm way more afraid of another Melania getting in to this country than I am of any caravan of human beings seeking asylum.' " . . .

Prepare to greet the members of the 'caravan'!  . . . "The Washington Post has reported that the president "sought to fan public fears on Twitter, suggesting without evidence that the "'caravan' contains gang members and terrorists from the Middle East."  Yet a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security reported that there are some "gang members" and people with "significant criminal histories" in the caravan.  Department spokesperson Tyler Houlton said on Twitter that the "caravan" includes citizens not only of Central American countries, but also of the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and "elsewhere."

"The Gateway Pundit reports that a Univision correspondent found Bangladeshis in the caravan in Guatemala." . . .

“Just Wendy” on Twitter tweeted: Well during the whole time Jorge the bs artist was talking to all I saw were 20 year old men no women or children,there was this gem throwing up gang signs. Make no mistake this is an invasion.

Mattis, Trump Expected to Send Almost 800 Troops to Border to Counter Migrant Caravan  . . . "I’ve written before that the Democrats had complete power from 2008-2010 and could have changed immigration laws then.

"Three administration officials told CNN that Mattis and others are still working on ironing out the details on the troops:

The officials tell CNN final details are being worked out including where the troops will come from and their specific tasks.

The troops will not engage in lethal operations to stop the migrants. Instead they are expected to provide fencing, wall materials and other technical support at several key points along the border where it is believed the migrants may try to cross.

The troops will also provide tents and medical care for border authorities in those areas. The troops retain the right of self-defense, but border patrol officers will still be the ones physically stopping illegal migration, the officials said. . . . 

Come to think of it, how many American troops originally came from down there? TD 

The Second Caravan Sealed the Democrats' Fate  . . . "Having already set in motion plans to limit or eliminate foreign aid to El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, President Trump has already done more to fight this foreign invasion than Obama did in eight years.  Should the migrant army simply keep walking when it meets resistance, that will not be the victory many Democrats seem to anticipate.  It will not demoralize the Republican base, which recognizes that short of military resistance and the public relations nightmare a military confrontation may produce, Trump's hands are largely tied by our current immigration laws.  Instead, the human wave will be the punctuation mark on the end of the sentence, "Build the wall.'
