Do you think all migrants, no migrants or some migrants should be vetted before entering the USA?

^ I did not Google NBC. I Googled something like 'caravan invasion vanished' and got pages of results. I found lots of articles concerning the caravan seemingly disappearing but I also found that article about the troops 'on the front line' being forced to endure horrendous conditions to win the midterms for Trump.

I said nothing about 'fake news' or 'NBC'. Please don't pretend that I did.

GSDX, may I suggest you learn how to google for THE facts, not just your preferred facts. You just proved your omnipresent bias.

^ The irony. It is burning me to a crisp.

My facts are real. I don't make them up.

The invasion never existed except in Trump's mind and the minds of his supporters to whom he lied his ass off. Now that he election is over, the 'invasion' has virtually vanished off the face of the earth.

Next, please.

Migrant caravan embarks on 'route of death' through Mexico
The majority of the roughly 4,000 migrants are headed along what some called the "route of death" toward the town of Cordoba in Mexico.

The majority of the roughly 4,000 migrants are now headed along what some called the "route of death" toward the town of Cordoba, in the state of Veracruz, which is about 124 miles up the road. The daily trek will be one of the longest yet, as the exhausted group of travelers tries to make progress any way it can to the U.S. border still hundreds of miles away.

The news media made this story front and center before the mid terms. Trump used it to play to his base. I think that the main stream news thoght that the story would rally democratic voters by reminding people of how Trump separated families.
Trump doubled down and brought in the military, this rallied his side.

Who's Pueblo Sin Fronteras, the group behind the migrant caravan that drew Trump's ire?
For over 15 years, the organization has led migrants from Central America to seek asylum elsewhere.

Abeja is one of the lead organizers of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, which for over 15 years has led migrants to the U.S. via caravans to help them to seek asylum in other countries.

Volunteers serve up a donated hot breakfast to migrants at the sports center in Matias Romero on Wednesday.

So, the caravans are nothing new, neither is it a new thing for a President to send troops to the border:

U.S. Army National Guardsmen scan the US-Mexico border in June 2011 in Nogales, Arizona.

my sentiments exactly lol

sure vet them---let woman and children in first---then gay guys---then hot straight guys who are running from the cartels who enslave or kill them

Keep the Canadians out

 

[mikey3000]

But thats the problem. There are very few women and children in the "huddled masses" gathering at the southern border.

We should vet gun buyers too.

When I read the post, I went searching and couldn't find anything, and I refuse to go to 'those' websites in case they infest my computer with something nasty.

When I read the post, I went searching and couldn't find anything, and I refuse to go to 'those' websites in case they infest my computer with something nasty.

I found a New York Times article which is a credible source.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/world/americas/what-is-migrant-caravan-facts-history.html

The article does say

Many are traveling with their children, though adult men traveling without families are the single largest contingent.

Mikey is partly correct but the way he states it is misleading. According to the article at least 2300 are children. Many are families with women and children.

I am wondering if a triage system would expedite entry.

Seems kinda racist to insist we vet our brown neighbors from the south but we don't even vet actual Americans. We got killers and rapists and mass murderers, thieves, tricks, thugs aplenty running around the states but some latin kids wanna come over and suddenly we're like the creme de la creme? chile boo....

 

[willhunt]

"Okay, now kids, we're going to do some vetting. Now let's automatically gather in groups, by color. Okay all you white folks just go on in. Black folks, please use the service entrance. Yellow folks, um we're sort of unsure. Go in but don't assimilate, because your American accent will fuck with our heads. Arab looking folks, please just use the waiting room and don't do any praying. It spooks us. Okay and so you Mexicans are what, Spanish and Native basically? Just hang on and we'll find something for you to do and we'll hold your children just because we care. Natives, you're going to love this! We've made you some reservations! That wasn't so hard was it?"

Excuse me? Natives? What did you say? "Do what to ourselves and the horses we rode in on?"

Again with the racist crap. You know most countries, if not all, vet immigrants, not actual citizens, right? But have it your way. Lets say we could vet all the, "killers and rapists and mass norderers, thieves, tricks, thugs (and drug traffickers, don't forget them) aplenty running around the states", what do you suggest we do with them? The jails are already busting at the seams. We can't deport them if they are born here. How about just let them run wild and change the laws to decriminalize their behaviour, would that suit you?

preach baby preach

Do you mean that there aren't any white "killers and rapists and mass norderers, thieves, tricks, thugs (and drug traffickers, don't forget them)" who enter the country?

Your bigotry is showing again.

BTW. Do you mean people who come from Norderway?

If they are on foot they would most likely be from Canada. All people should be vetted, if by air or car or on foot. The fact is that we don't have a problem with Canadians illegally walking in. We have enough trouble with home grown criminals so it to me seems proper to make sure that we don't add anymore to the mix.

With all do respect, we are the mix.
