Migration is migration.. Insects can invade and our privacy has been invaded, but human invasions usually involve military incursion. Yes, one could weakly argue semantics about the definitions of ‘invasion’ but the connotation most people invoke (and the one trump wants people to have in order to scare them into submission) when they hear the word ‘invasion’ is about things like the Nazis invading Poland or the US invading Iraq, both with phony provocation. Continental America hasn’t been invaded since 1812. Two years ago we weren’t being invaded. The difference, trump’s foul vile racist mouth that incites fear and hatred in people so they buy into his bullshit. That we are bing invaded is beyond fake news into the realms of total fantasy.

Invasion is correct. What else would you call hundreds of thousands of,people crossing our borders without authorization? It’s an invasion alright. Legal immigration is a good orderly process. Border jumpers shit on our laws.
Immigration policy must be conducted in a good orderly process. Meritl based. What does unskilled, uneducated masses bring to the table besides swamping our safety nets and prisons? What, 1/3 of our federal in,ages are immigrants . Call those good people? I think not. 88% of asylum seekers are rejected, yet only 5% are ordered deported by a judge because the invasion has overwhelmed our good orderlyl legal process and they are released into the heartland never to be seen again…. until they commit federal offenses or end up in penal system, be it State, local, or federal. Ok, 1-3 percent show up to their hearings. This is not their country, no way, no how. Their President is not Trump, it’s some other countries Presidente.This is not their country.
Folks say illegals are not eligle for welfare. They are so many work around s that it isn’t even funny. Welfare goes by household, not the individual. If there is a minor in the hous, they are eligible….just like aid to dependent families….it’s for the children.
Open borders means no nation, no sovereignty, no country. Invasion is correct.

She didn’t think that one through, socialists are not popular with the Cuban community in Florida –
Florida Democratic House candidate Donna Shalala is taking heat after a congresswoman who praised the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was seemingly invited to campaign with her.
Shalala is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Florida’s 27th district – an area that is largely made up of Hispanic residents, particularly of Cuban descent. Despite her name recognition, Shalala has faced a tight race in a district that Hillary Clinton won by a 20-point margin over President Trump in 2016.
And her campaign’s planned event with Rep. Barbara Lee, who called Castro a “smart man” and encouraged people to “mourn his loss” after his death, isn’t helping.

Brisas Barra de Suchiate (Mexico) (AFP) – Mexico deployed hundreds of riot police Thursday to its border with Guatemala as a caravan of Central American migrants prepared to cross on their way to the United States, defying President Donald Trump’s threats.
Hundreds of federal police in riot gear fanned out on the international bridge in Suchiate, on the Mexican-Guatemalan border, as the caravan of several thousand Honduran migrants trekked toward the crossing.
Guatemala also sent police reinforcements to its side of the border, after Trump threatened to cut aid to the region, deploy the military and close the US-Mexican border if the migrants were allowed to continue.

Fauxcahantas transforms here political career into a political meteor that just flamed out and managed to piss off her party in the process, 1/1024th LOL! –
It’s next to impossible to argue that Warren’s political standing is better today than it was before she released the video. Warren’s first big foray into the nascent presidential campaign was on Trump’s terms, not her own, having been trolled into producing and distributing a mini-doc that broadcast her biggest political liability directly into the maw of the Internet. Warren gifted her opponents a new and embarrassing line of attack—I’m between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American! Take that, Donald!—that will go down alongside John Edwards’s $400 haircut and Mitt Romney’s 47 percent gaffe in the annals of numeric political blunders. Meanwhile, with the midterms just around the bend, Warren’s attempt at national brand-building just felt too methodical, too calculated, too self-involved, too political. “Can she just wait three weeks?” an aide to a top-tier Democratic Senate candidate texted me after the video came out. Nothing about it seemed helpful.

RobertC 410pm – This blog really is a challenge for you, isn’t it Mr Cross. No one who comes here legally and assimilates, without even an attempt to impact the country’s extant culture on their arrival, is an invader.

And subsequently only people of your ilk have ever suggested that I be silenced or ‘go back where you came from’ (as these pages witness).

Can we be honest, the socialists guilt tripping on illegal immigrants is a smoke screen for the real goal;
The Texas Democratic Party asked noncitizens to register to vote, sending out applications to immigrants with the box citizenship already checked “Yes,” according to complaints filed Thursday asking prosecutors to see what laws may have been broken.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the Justice Department to the prechecked applications and included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren’t citizens, received the mailing.
“This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle,” said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the Public Interest Legal Foundation. The group has made its mark by policing states’ voter registration practices.

The muslum brotherhood are evil and this Khashoggi guy was a brotherhood cuddler we are getting played –
Khashoggi may have been inspired by Gezi, but back then he could also afford to alienate Turkey’s leader. Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah was still alive, Saudis and Qataris were working together in Syria, and the Muslim Brotherhood was running Egypt. Khashoggi himself was in a good position in Riyadh, but his connections were not to Mohammed (at that time an adviser and then chief of staff to his father) but to the “Faisal clan — Turki and his brother Saud al-Faisal, the longtime Saudi foreign minister,” according to Maggie Mitchell Salem, one of Khashoggi’s friends, who spoke recently to David Ignatius of the Washington Post.
But the geopolitics shifted quickly. Morsi was toppled by the military in the summer of 2013, one year after being elected president. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who was working with Erdoğan in Syria, died in 2015. And Mohammed, who became the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia, joined Egypt and UAE to pursue a war against the Muslim Brotherhood everywhere in the region. A war of regional hegemony erupted between two Sunni camps: Turkey and Qatar on one side, and Saudis, Egyptians and Emiratis on the other.

If an individual manages to evade the new system and travels through Mexico to eventually cross the border into the U.S., Mexico will now allow those persons to be returned to Mexico, the official told Fox News. Currently, the U.S. has had to house those people until their cases could be adjudicated before being removed to their country of origin.
At the established shelters, U.N. officials will vet the refugees to decide which ones have legitimate claims for refugee status, the official told Fox News.
If a person or persons is determined to have a legitimate claim, they will undergo a U.N. process of being placed in a host country, which could ultimately be the U.S. or any other country that has an agreement with the UNHCR, the official said.
