Regarding all the illegal Caravan "asylum seekers".

If the reason they are all at our border is that they are fleeing their country because they would be killed or forced to join gangs, why is they will all go right back to their country if we just give them $50,000 each?

Seems to me if they show up with that much cash in their pocket they will be a prime target to get killed for the money.

Something isn't adding up.

It's not adding up, because it's not true.
The "caravan" is anything but. It's groups of men- mostly, and not families- showing up at our border after being lied to. They're not here for asylum, most not ready to make any such case. But they are here for jobs.

They are redcued to three options:
1. wait months to make their case for asylum.
2. sneak across the border
3. go back home.

Many are discouraged because the promises made to them upon making this trip cannot be fulfilled. This was contrived from the beginning.

Or ... they’ll have enough to hire private security and/or avail themselves of the state protection that as peasants they were denied.

So it is all about economics.

Thanks for playing.

If they are fleeing to avoid being targeted because of their social class, it does.

How can I do that? You’ll just call anything I link to a “lefty website” no matter what it is.
