Seal the Borders, President Trump -- Do It Now !

IS OUR BLOG LEADING THE WAY? On Tuesday, toward the end of the first segment of our blog, I wrote : "AND, that Tom Steyer and George Soros are reportedly paying the Antifa thugs and other gangs should be the subject of an FBI/DOJ investigation -- if CEOs of private corporations are responsible criminally for their employees who break environmental or financial laws -- TELL ME why SOROS and STEYER should not be responsible for the violence and calls for insurrection against the United States government by the thugs they pay??? America still has a Rule of Law -- let us demand that it be used in this crisis." • • • LOUIE GOHMERT AGREES. American Thinker wrote early Wednesday morning that Texas GOP Representative Louie Gohmert is calling for a RICO probe to find out who's paying for Honduras migrant caravan. American Thinker's Monica Showalter asks : "Who's financing the Honduras migrant caravan of illegal immigrants, with as many as 10,000 snaking their way into illegally entering the US? Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas has a sensible suggestion for finding out : using the RICO statutes....'We have got to have the DOJ investigate where the funding is coming from to send these thousands and thousands of people to the US....You can use RICO to go after them.' " • US taxpayers will foot the bill for every one of the 10,000 or so illegal immigrants who manage to break into the US and lose themselves in the network of radical Left ProgDems who help illegals to avoid arrest while signing up for and using US welfare support systems. • And, when we look at the photos and videos of the caravan making its way to the Mexico-US border, we can see that they are not starving refugees trying to save themselves and their families from death at home. Somebody is paying for their clothes, food, trucks, even an expensive baby carriage. In fact, the last picture in a Daily Mail article features a cute, healthy looking young boy leaning on a colorful backpack and using what appears to be an iPhone! Please !!! • Showalter asks : "Who is it? Is it Soros, the hedge fund leftist billionaire of chaos who vowed to shell out $500 million for migrants a few years back? Democrats, the same people who had tens of millions to pay for a fake Dossier in a bid to win an election and who have lately been struggling to win the Latino vote? Or is it, as I suspect, Chavista Venezuelan oil money, given the Chavistas' stated desire to flood America with indigent migrants (which has been around as a threat ever since Hugo Chávez taunted the US over its border in the 2000s) as a means of spreading its revolution northward? The Chavista ties of the caravan's front-group organizers, Pueblo Sin Fronteras, as well as its known Chavez-supporting Honduran ringleaders, are rather obvious. We know someone's financing it, because migrants are leaving vast troves of trash as they move through Mexico, presumably because they are climbing aboard pre-arranged and paid for trucks to travel. Trucks are expensive : 'We know they're not exactly poor, either. Throwing away $389 strollers is one thing, as is the idea of actually being able to buy one' : Here's another, a claimed $1,000 stroller : 'Expensive strollers, yes, but what's even more expensive are the costs all of these migrants and their children will incur for the US -- educating them, feeding them, housing them, medicating them, lawyering them, policing them, jailing them, and everything else migrants get in their vast benefit packages once in, legally or not.' Gavin Newsom, currently running for governor of California, vows to give them free health care, which has got to be a magnet. They also, as Mickey Kaus has repeatedly noted, drive down wages for the poorest Americans. Their remittances, meanwhile, leave American cities underdeveloped as all capital flows out, and they serve to prop up the corrupt governments of the countries they left behind, providing them a cash source that the IMF has warned tends to underdevelop those countries -- and triggers more treks north." • Monica Showalter concludes : "So yes, the taxpaying public absolutely has an interest in knowing who wants to destroy our rule of law and make our borders meaningless, an act of meddling if there ever was any, and who wants to foist huge benefit packages on the foreign invaders coming to the US illegally, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. Louis Gohmert is on to something, and his call should be taken seriously." • • • DHS : GANG MEMBERS, MIDDLE EASTERNERS IN CARAVAN. On Wednesday, WND reported : "The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday it can confirm that gang members and males from the Middle East and Asia are in the caravan headed for the United States that began in Honduras. DHS spokesman Tyler Houlton said 'there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories. Citizens of countries outside Central America, including countries in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and elsewhere are currently traveling through Mexico toward the US.” • Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said Tuesday his team with the caravan found citizens from Asia and the Middle East, mostly young men, and indications the caravan was organized from the outside. JW said that besides “gang members and mobs of young angry men,” the caravan also consists of Africans, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and Indians. Judicial Watch said its team embedded with the caravan has observed that “the popular mainstream media narrative of desperate migrants -- many of them women and children -- seeking a better life is hardly accurate.” Guatemalan intelligence officials, according to Judicial Watch, confirmed that the caravan that originated in the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula includes Special Interest Aliens, or SIA, from other continents as well as other criminal elements and gang members. Judicial Watch said there are “large groups of men, some with criminal histories, aggressively demanding that the US take them in.” • Investigative reporter Sara Carter, who is in Guatemala, found it’s mostly men crossing the Guatemalan border. She said they are giving a rehearsed answer : “This is not politics -- this is about poverty.” Carter tweeted on Tuesday : "There were women and children but they were at the front of the caravan (smaller numbers). None would say who the organizers are but several said it was organized.” Carter, said the Gateway Pundit, met with the Guatemalan Minister of Defense on Tuesday and wrote : "Based on the interviews I’ve conducted so far -- along with Judicial Watch investigations -- the US needs to investigate the funding that was used by NGOs, as well as other groups to organize the caravans.” • WND noted : "Migrants in the caravan have said their intent is to seek political asylum in the United States. Asylum seekers are required to demonstrate they have a reasonable fear of future persecution on account of race, religion, national origin, political opinion or membership in a social group." The San Antonio Express-News published an article that does not support the "asylum" theory. Many migrants who say they are fleeing gang violence and poverty have told media they learned about the caravan through social media, the San Antonio Express-News reported : “ 'I had been waiting for a way to get north, and then I heard about the caravan,' said Ediberto Fuentes, 30, who had fled Honduras for southern Mexico but became stranded for months. He said he didn’t have the money to pay for a smuggler to travel to the United States. The San Antonio paper spoke with the director of the Tijuana-based Pueblos Sin Fronteras, which has advocated for this and previous caravans, including helping arrange the routes and other logistics. But Irineo Mujica insisted the current caravan has taken on a life of its own. 'Everyone wants to know who is guilty, who is behind this,' he said. 'But no one has the power to organize this many people. No one can engineer an exodus.' " • However, social media seems capable of doing just that -- arranging an exodus. The Express-News said that by mid-October, social media and news media coverage “prompted an explosion in the number of migrants." Within days of the caravan’s departure from San Pedro Sula on October 13, almost no one could pin down the group’s official origin story,” the paper said. “They could cite only the Facebook post or television program that led to their own decision to migrate.” • In another reported encounter with caravan members, Judicial Watch said that during a visit to the Guatemalan town of Chiquimula, about 35 miles from the Honduran border, its team encountered a “rowdy group” of about 600 men, ages 17 to about 40, marching north on a narrow two-lane highway. Among them was a 40-year-old Honduran man who previously lived in the United States for decades and was deported. Another man, in his 30s, declared: “We’re going to the United States to get jobs.” Others chanted “vamos para allá Trump!” -- “We’re coming Trump” -- as they clenched their fists in the air. “We need money and food,” said a 29-year-old man who was with his 21-year-old brother. Judicial Watch said that all of the migrants it interviewed repeated the same rehearsed line when asked who organized the caravan. They insisted it was a spontaneous event, Judicial Watch said, “even though there were clearly organizers shouting instructions in Spanish and putting select persons in front of cameras for interviews.” A few claimed they heard about it on local news in Honduras. All said the caravan was about poverty, not politics. “I just want to get back to the US,” said a 32-year-old man who admitted he has been deported from the US twice. “We are all just looking for work.” THAT is not the story of "asylum" seekers. • WND says that : "Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a conservative, said the Left is seeking to destabilize his country by manipulating migrants. Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday in an interview with the Washington Post that Hernández told him the caravan was financed by Venezuela’s left-wing government. Hernández said women and children are being used without regard to the risks to their lives. 'The irregular mobilization was organized for political reasons to negatively affect the governance and image of Honduras and to destabilize the peace of neighboring countries,' he said. The Honduran president said many who joined the caravan have returned to Honduras after realizing they had been fooled. Guatemalan officials said 1,700 migrants have been returned to Honduras on buses. Government sources said first wave of migrants totaled about 4,000. A second, less organized, group of about 2,000 then set out for the US. Guatemalan Secretary of Strategic Intelligence Mario Duarte said his country needs help to stop the human caravans. 'There are only so many resources we can dedicate to this.' He said Guatemalans are getting robbed and crimes are being committed by the people in the caravan." • • • AND, WHAT DO THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO SAY? Nothing. The silence is "weird" wrote Monica Showalter on Tuesday in American Thinker : "As television screens fill up with images of the 7,000- to 10,000-strong Honduran migrant army snaking its way up through the belly of Mexico, and President Trump issues warnings that they not cross into the US, one group of people, well known for otherwise enjoying grandstanding, has been weirdly silent : Democrats. Fox News has certainly noticed : 'Democrats appear to be remaining silent on the issue of the caravan of thousands of immigrants on the march from Central America and unwilling to get into a public debate with President Trump since the mid-terms are just weeks away." • Showalter asks : "Where's Senator Chuck Schumer to weep some blubbery tears for the migrants? Where's House minority leader Nancy Pelosi to fill us in on the state of their souls? Where's the phony rhetoric from ex-President Obama about unskilled, illiterate, and non-English-speaking aliens being an 'asset' to our country instead of a drain on its finances? Where's Senator Bernie Sanders advising us they'll be great socialist voters? Where's Hillary Clinton to tell us they 'are citizens' or something of that sort? Where's Representative Luís Gutiérrez to blame America for the whole thing? Where's Kamala Harris with her love for the cameras? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch." • Showalter thinks the Democrats are silent because they are scared : "This draws me to think they might just be running scared. The nonstop coverage of the migrant march, run by a Chavista socialist group called Pueblo Sin Fronteras, (which features lots of links to the Venezuelan-financed Chavista press) and which has drawn huge panoramic camera shots across the nation's television sets of an army of migrants marching to the US and its vast benefit packages, simply cannot be a good thing for them ahead of the mid-terms. It's already well known that migrant visuals of the Middle East's vast hordes overtaking Europe strongly affected 2014's mid-terms, flipping both the House and Senate to the Republicans." • It seems, says Showalter to be a rare case of where "the press's interests and the Democrats' interests don't coincide. The migrant march photos...are great for television ratings....Democrats, by contrast, and some of their more sycophantic stations, not so much. They are instead attempting to change the money topic to the Saudi killing of Saudi citizen and Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi, a topic that doesn't really concern America, as well as their 'Medicare for All' campaign promise." • It is a bad set of visuals for the Democrats who are already looking at a squashed "blue wave" that is not going to happen on November 6. As Showalter says : "That's about as bad for their electoral prospects as anything, given that they are trying to persuade us they're reasonable moderates and denying that they're a mob.The photos of the migrant hordes have got to have them running scared. I've seen this pattern in all the ads being run by Democrats in California for the local races here. Democrats are refusing to talk about any immigration topic here, despite this being the elephant in the room regarding California's financial footing and despite their flood of ads addressing everything else, particularly global warming and saving the planet. The visuals remind voters of just what they are promising more of." • Investor's Business Daily's editorial suggests that Democrats are silent because they actually like this sort of thing : "What's truly sad is that the increasingly far-left Democratic Party can't bring itself to say anything meaningful about or even to criticize the illegal horde approaching our border. Why say anything? A border clash, they feel, will be bad for the GOP. But it's also bad for America. Democrats, in the heat of their election campaigns, often insist 'we're not for open borders,' or words to that effect. Yet, everything they do, from sanctuary cities to demonizing ICE to likening those who oppose illegal immigration to Nazis, suggests they want open borders. And why shouldn't they? The people in the caravan, once in the US, will mostly occupy the fringes of society. If past immigration is any guide, they'll be poor and overwhelmingly dependent on welfare. A study based on 2012 Census data found that 51% of all immigrants, legal and illegal, relied on one or more welfare programs. That compares to 30% for the native-born population. As the architects of our welfare system, Democrats have the most to gain from open borders and the new Democratic votes that would bring. As such, their repeated insistence they don't support open borders rings hollow." • BUT, it is FEAR above all that is silencing the Democrats, as Showalter writes : "I smell fear in that silence, too -- the fear of dozens and dozens of visuals of invading hordes and nothing being done about it, with the full knowledge that it scares voters and obscures the 'Mister Moderate' image they have been trying to convince us of. Either way, they're being silent and should be forced to let us know what they really think. If the press won't ask, the voters must. No matter which way it is, it won't be good for their electoral prospects at this mid-term." • • • USING THE MILITARY?? Another American Thinker article on Wednesday, by Bob Weir, asks if the US would really use its military to stop the caravan. Weir's argument is powerful : "If an enemy were plotting to destroy the most powerful country in the world, what strategy would he use? Knowing he can't beat the country economically or militarily; what other options are open to him? Here's an idea! Suppose the enemy were able to mobilize millions of people from the most poverty-stricken countries in the world and have them invade our country, using children as their shields. Suppose further that those massive numbers of people just started walking toward our borders in open defiance of our immigration policies. What would you, running the United States, be willing to do to stop the invasion? President Trump says, if necessary, he'll use the US military to shut down the border. That will work if the military is prepared to take confrontational action against those who defy our laws and try to force their way in. If the invaders employ their usual tactic, children will be in the front lines of the invasion. Will the American public be willing to accept video clips of our soldiers pushing children backward to keep them from entering our land? If the invasion becomes violent, will we see children being trampled and killed as layers of humanity move forward over the bodies of the fallen? What our enemies are counting on is that Americans will be appalled by such scenes and call Trump a monster." • Weir gives a view of the result if the caravan is not stopped : "Let's look at what would happen if these invasions aren't stopped. If a few thousand people were able to walk from Central America through Mexico and into our country, what's to stop millions more from doing the same? China, India, Pakistan, and other countries with large populations could find ways to fracture our borders and flood our country with wall-to-wall humanity. The poverty rates in those countries, when compared to ours, make us the most prosperous and envied country in the history of the world. But we can't continue being prosperous if massive numbers of low-skilled and under-educated people are dumped into a social welfare system that is already bursting at the seams. From the perspective of the invaders, the United States is the answer to their plight. Nevertheless, their plight, if transferred to our country in the form of millions of needy people, will ultimately destroy our economy and turn us into a third-world country. Since they're fleeing countries that have lost their ability to provide jobs, security, and safety for their people, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by coming here. They're not concerned about our future; it's all about theirs. That's why we have to come to grips with the most serious threat to our survival. We must ask ourselves if we have the will to use force against an army of invaders who will play upon the sympathy of teary-eyed Americans, hoping it will erupt into a plethora of bleeding-heart opposition to Trump." • As Bob Weir points out, there will come a time when : "We, as Americans, decide that if we don't protect our borders, we're no longer a sovereign nation. Moreover, we must decide if we're going to have the backbone to stop the invading hordes from capsizing this ship of state. We must not fall victim to the false accusation that we're a greedy country unwilling to share our bounty with the 'less fortunate' of the world. On the contrary, our generosity has propped up nations, fed tens of millions, and provided medical care to the most disadvantaged on the planet. We have been able to do that only because of our prosperity, which, if we don't take steps to preserve it, will go the way of Venezuela." • Weir's question : "What are we willing to do to stop the invasion?" • • • TRUMP KNOWS THAT PART OF THE ANSWER LIES WITH CONGRESS. Fox News reported on Tuesday that Trump is going "all-in" to protect the GOP majority in congress in the final mid-term stretch, planning both an ad and a rally blitz. Brooke Singman writes : "The commitment, according to the campaign, includes a $6 million TV and digital ad buy set to launch next Monday and last through Election Day. The campaign also is sending $3 million to the Republican National Committee to boost GOP campaigns, while Trump plans to host at least 10 more "Make America Great Again" rallies in support of Republicans before the election. All told, the President's campaign reports, the nearly $10 million commitment is part of over $20 million the operation is spending on the mid-term elections, including rally costs." • Trump Campaign Manager Brad Pascale says : “President Trump is all-in for the mid-terms to lead the GOP to victory on Election Day. His winning spirit is energizing Americans across the country to get out the vote and keep the momentum of our America First agenda going strong.” President Trump's 2020 campaign already has amassed a massive war chest, raising roughly $100 million to date. He enters his re-election battle with a sizeable fundraising advantage against any Democrat candidate, but will draw down some of that this fall in the fight to keep Congress in Republican hands. • The MAGA rallies serve a dual purpose -- boosting GOP candidates in the mid-terms while allowing Trump to connect with his base and keep them energized ahead of the looming 2020 fight. Since the summer, Trump has held 20 such rallies so far. Over the last several months, Trump and Vice President Pence also have attended dozens of candidate and GOP committee fundraisers, according to the campaign. • Fox News says : "At the two-week mark, Republicans are seen as holding the edge in the race for control of the Senate while Democrats remain favored in the race for the House -- but their advantage is narrowing in recent polling. According to the latest NBC-Wall Street Journal Poll, in competitive districts, Democrats and Republicans are in a dead heat on the question of which party should control Congress. A Washington Post survey out Tuesday reported that Democrats hold a 'statistically insignificant lead' in battleground districts. The ultimate impact of Trump's policies and presence on the campaign trail remains to be seen, but he has shown no hesitation about latching his name and his brand to Republican candidates across the country -- most recently, former primary rival Ted Cruz, during a Texas rally Monday night. While many Democrats are trying to damage GOP incumbents by linking them to Trump, some of those same incumbents are openly embracing the Trump agenda and the president's visible campaign role." • GOP National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News : "He's campaigning at a higher level than any president previously." AND, the RNC last week announced a record $269.9 million raised in a non-presidential election year, with $56.8 million raised in the third quarter. The RNC told Fox News that 40% of the total were small-dollar donations. The Democratic National Committee has raised $136 million so far this cycle, including $9.6 million in September, compared with the RNC’s $26.2 million. The RNC piggy bank will grow a bit bigger with the Trump campaign vowing to transfer $3 million. The new transfer is in addition to direct contributions of $214,000 made by the campaign in August to 107 House and Senate campaigns....Both parties are taking an equally urgent tone in appealing to voters not to sit out the election. • • • THE CARAVAN AND THE MID-TERMS. The New American's Selwyn Duke wrote on Tuesday : "Quite conveniently, as poll numbers showed the Democrats’ “blue wave” wavering, a migrant caravan began heading toward our shores -- just in time to become a mid-term election issue. President Trump vowed to cut foreign aid to Central America if the invasion wasn’t halted, and he’s now following through on that threat in the hope that money talks. Nonetheless, the caravan still walks. The invasion, estimated to now have swelled to 7,200 strong, is the result of decades of purposely poor migration policy. Obviously, Human Nature 101 informs that rewarding a behavior encourages more of it. The message we’ve sent -- sneak into the US any way you can, and you’ll get kid-glove treatment, benefits and, perhaps, even amnesty -- guarantees a continual flow of opportunistic migrants. Yet some are a bit more than just opportunistic. As American Thinker’s Monica Showalter reported Sunday, 'Waving the flag of the country they’re desperate not to be sent back to [Honduras], and burning tires in front of the Tegucigalpa-located embassy of the nation they’re supposedly desperate to live in [the United States], the Honduras caravan migrants, their organizers and their supporters don’t exactly come off as big fans of the United States.' Question: What kind of group carries a foreign flag while seeking to illegally penetrate your border? Perhaps the answer is, as the Daily Mail claims : a group that’s the handiwork of 'Honduran former deputy Bartolo Fuentes, who was deported from Guatemala for organizing the massive migrant caravan heading to the US.' Who is Fuentes? Showalter calls him a 'far-left' politician who is a 'supporter of Hugo Chavez and Mel ‘cowboy hat’ Zelaya.' Chavez paved the way for the current Venezuelan eating-cats-and-dogs socialism disaster, while ex-Honduran president Zelaya was ousted by his nation’s military in 2009 under orders from the Honduran supreme court for trying to undermine the country’s constitution (he was supported by Obama, though)." • Selwyn Duke agrees with Showalter : "The caravan is exposing the ugly underbelly of what it’s really about -- an invasion of sorts, a conquest, a bid to lay gringo low -- rather than a legitimate interest in legally immigrating and assimilating into the American melting pot. The only thing such anti-American haters could possibly want in demanding to be let in, legally or not, seems to be benefits, courtesy of the US taxpayer, and to stick it into law-abiding America’s faces that they’re the ones who determine what the law is, not the Americans they hate. For the criminal population among them, there’s also the bigger mayhem opportunities." • So, President Trump, though he is being condemned by Fake News, recently called some in the caravan as “bad people” at an Arizona rally. And, on Monday, the President announced : “We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid that the United States gives Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.” -- And, rightly so. • One News Now wrote about a May caravan invasion : "According to a report, several 'major ultra-liberal foundations and corporations have supported the asylum-seeking migrant caravans, and Soros’ funding has been tied to several groups that have spearheaded the ‘refugee’ invasion coalition -- also dubbed ‘the Soros Express.’ ” Of course, says Duke, as the left-wing mainstream media obviously points out that there’s no proof the current invasion is orchestrated by powerful forces behind the scenes. But the timing is very suspicious. In fairness, not all the caravan members are bad people (and Trump never said otherwise). But; in the same way Moslem migrants flooding Europe were portrayed incorrectly as desperate refugees, this migration is a con." • Pat Buchanan is correctly calling the caravan part of “the ongoing invasion of the West from the Third World” : “Unwanted mass migration is the issue of our time, as there is no foreseeable end to it before it alters America irremediably.” This is the real issue and is why Leftists -- represented by the Democrat Party -- love immigration -- illegal above all. They want irremediable alteration of the United States. They know, says Duke, that 85 to 90% of our post-1968 immigrants, and virtually all illegal migrants, hail from the Third World. They also know that 70 to 90% of these people, if they cast ballots, vote Democrat upon naturalization. They are importing their voters. The demographic change this causes is one reason why socialism, once taboo, is now marketable politically in many parts of our country....Leftists encourage the invasion of our nation claiming to care about “poor migrants,” but they really only care about power. And in their lust for power, since they can’t change the American people’s mind, they’ll just change the American people." • President Trump used Twitter on Sunday and Monday to lay the blame at the feet of Democrats. “Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Southern Border,” Trump first tweeted Sunday. “People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the US will turn them away. The courts are asking the US to do things that are not doable!”....“The Caravans are a disgrace to the Democrat Party. Change the immigration laws NOW!”....“Sadly it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency. Must change laws!”....“Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws! Remember the mid-terms! So unfair to those who come in legally.”....“Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.” • BizPac Review said of Trump's aid cut-off : "While the liberal media sympathizes with the small army of illegal immigrants marching on the US, Trump correctly sees it as the crisis it is. Showing little faith in Mexico’s left-wing president taking any effective action, the President said he alerted Border Patrol and the US military that the approaching caravan is a national emergency. And AGAIN, he called on Congress to change our failed immigration laws....Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement Sunday that criminal elements [drug cartels??] could prey on the migrants, according to the Washington Times : 'While we closely monitor the caravan crisis,' Nielson explained, 'we must remain mindful of the transnational criminal organizations and other criminals that prey on the vulnerabilities of those undertaking the irregular migration journey.' ” • And, a second caravan is reportedly forming in Honduras. Gateway Pundit wrote on Monday : "A new caravan of over 2000 migrants left Honduras and was reported to be approaching Chiquimula, Guatemala on Sunday....videos posted to social media show a long line of migrants marching on the side of a road. This caravan of Central American migrants comes on the heals of a similar caravan that started out from Honduras earlier last week and grew to over 7,000 as of Sunday after crossing the border from Guatemala into Mexico with little resistance from Mexican authorities." Breitbart says the caravan "received help at every turn from sympathetic Mexicans who offered food, water and clothing. Hundreds of locals driving pickups, vans and cargo trucks stopped to let them clamber aboard." • • • BLAME OBAMA. “Si se pudo!” they chant in Spanish -- “Yes, we could!” AND that brings us to Barack Obama. BizPac Review wrote on Tuesday : "One Democrat name keeps coming up to blame for invading migrant caravan as Trump turns up heat." Fox News’ Steve Hilton's all-star panel on “The Next Revolution” debated US immigration policies against the backdrop of the caravan marching to the southern US border. The panel agreed that this potential invasion is the end result of Democrats embracing illegal immigration, coupled with weak laws, the lack of order and control as an “abusive process” that risks the well-being of migrants for political gain -- thanks to former President Barack Obama. The lack of real policy in the United States, the lack of controls, the effective open border -- through the Obama administration -- has encouraged this now for half a generation. • President Trump's polls reflect this. According to the latest national NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, Trump’s approval rating is his highest yet as President, with 47%, up from 44% last month, and it BEATS President Obama’s rating before the 2010 mid-term election. • And, TheHill reported on Tuesday : "Early voting in some critical battlegrounds as of Monday found that GOP-affiliated voters are out-numbering the Democratic-affiliated voters in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, according to TargetSmart data analyzed by NBC News. Democratic-affiliated voters outpaced GOP ones only in Nevada, according to the report." • • • DEAR READERS, both parties are urgently appealing to voters not to sit out the election. "This is the most important election of our lifetime," DNC Chairman Tom Perez tweeted. • You bet it is, Tom, and that is why Republicans -- we Deplorables and Dregs, as your Party's leaders like to label us -- are going to rallies, contributing to GOP candidates and the RNC, and why, above all, we will be at the polls on November 6 in record numbers. You see, we are not just fighting for power as you are, we are fighting for the future of America and our sacred Republic. • Canada Free Press's Judi McLeod understands : "In a video showing mostly military age men on their way to storm America’s southern border, well organized activists in the ‘March-of-the-made-to-order-Migrant Caravan’....They are being trucked to the US border so fast they may even get here AHEAD OF THE MID-TERMS....'Viva!' a world going Socialist!....While the Honduran flag flies proudly from a truck bringing invaders in to storm the US border, caravan protesters painted a swastika on an American flag before burning it on the street in front of the American embassy, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, on Friday....This is not a desperate migration of poor people looking for a better life for their children in the USA. It is a desperate attempt by Democrats driven into exile in the 2016 presidential election to make President Donald Trump look like a monster willing to separate children from their parents at the border, in time for mid-term Elections....That’s how truly desperate they are. Even more so than the ‘migrants’ they’re sending. It is the October Surprise the Democrats took up to replace lost face from their vicious but unsuccessful efforts to block the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination; thousands of Christine Blasey Fords on the march against America....they’re the Democrats’ last stand to reclaim power and control; the other shoe dropping on the Deplorables’ hopes. When President Trump identified his suspicions of the caravan’s possible relationship to the Democrats, Fake News media moved in swiftly to say he had no proof. Who needs proof when common sense has already provided it?....Watch for the drama and on-the-road theatre to pick up as we close in on Mid-terms....The Democrats want would-be Republican voters to throw in the towel on Mid-terms. They want them to think that it’s not worth getting out to vote because the Democrats are going to win anyway. The caravan headed for the border for Election Day is not carrying thousands of poor migrants looking for safe space for their women and children. It’s carrying to the the border the rowdy, paid activists of the Democrat Party trying desperately to pull off yet another fast one against the good people of the USA. Seal the border, Mr. President!" • That says it all. We are with you, President Trump. SEAL THE BORDER !! NOW !!!
