Our southern border under assault

MSNBC’s Own Reporter Kills Their Caravan Narrative  . . . "Can you get owned by your own reporter? Because MSNBC anchors just got owned by their reporter covering the migrant caravan.

"In an attempt to debunk Trump’s claim that the migrant caravan was comprised of mostly men, an MNSBC anchor really stepped in it. She suggested the caravan was full of women and children without the resources or know how to cross the border. But the MSNBC reporter on the ground in Tijuana had a different story.

“ 'From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum,” said reporter Gadi Schwartz." . . . The Twitter feed.

Winning: Caravan gives momentum to Trump's last shot to fund border wall

"With Sunday's defeat of the Charge of the Migrant Brigade on the Tijuana border Sunday, it's pretty obvious that President Trump has won the round, at least, and now stands tall.  The migrants are packing up and going home, and the lefties are appealing to the United Nations to do their activism for them.

"But there's something additional coming up: sudden momentum in Congress for the funding of a border wall, something the House has been dithering about for two years and quite possibly got itself thrown out for." . . .0000000

7 Times Migrants Assaulted Border Patrol Agents with Rocks in Past Year  
. . . " The force of the impact forced the ATV to flip over on top of the agent, officials explained. The agent suffered breathing difficulties, dizziness, and possible broken ribs from the attack.

“This is an all too common occurrence,” said San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodney Scott. “In Fiscal Year 2017, San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents were assaulted 83 times in the performance of their duties. 52 times in Fiscal Year 2016. The safety and well-being of our agents remains our top priority.' ” . . .

The migrant caravan just ruined its close-up  "The caravan was not ready for its close-up.
"Protests turned into riots on Sunday as hundreds of Central American migrants rushed a border fence and tried storming their way into the United States. They waved flags from their country while trying to enter this one illegally. They chucked rocks at U.S. Border Patrol. They chanted “Yes We Can. ' ” . . .

These optics weren’t lost on the Mexican government., which condemned the protesters for “violently” attempting to enter the U.S. Anyone following their example won’t find refuge in the U.S., Mexico's interior secretary warned, but will instead be deported out of Mexico. What’s more, they will ruin the chances for anyone trying to enter legally.

"These acts of provocation, far from helping achieve their objectives, are in violation of legal migration and could result in a grave incident at the border," the statement said.

President Trump has only toyed with the idea of closing the Southern Border, and so far only traffic at the San Ysidro border crossing south of San Diego was temporarily halted. But as soon as the next “grave incident” occurs, the consequences will be more permanent. The violent caravanners made certain of that on Sunday.

It isn’t that the United States isn’t sympathetic to those fleeing tyranny. It’s that most Americans view asylum as an act of generosity, as something they are far less likely to offer migrants who resort to violence. By bull rushing the border in the middle of the day, while cameras rolled, they made themselves that much easier to dismiss.
