Caravans headed north. Mainstream Media: "All Trump's fault"

As you may have heard, thousands of people from Honduras and Guatemala recently formed a mob and headed north.  Destination was the U.S., but first they had to get into Mexico--which they didn't have the legal right to do.

Well...the president of Mexico postured that he wouldn't let them entering Mexico.  This allowed our Lying Mainstream Media to under-play the event, since--in theory at least--the mob wouldn't be able to threaten the U.S. border if it couldn't get into Mexico--which the socialist president of that shithole said he'd prevent.

That lasted for ten hours.  The Mexican cops the posturing president of Mexico sent down weren't armed and were hugely outnumbered.  Once the mob realized the cops didn't have weapons, they threw rocks at 'em, and that was the end of that.  The mob is now fully inside Mexico, headed north.

The Lying Mainstream Media immediately pivoted to put Trump on the spot for this threat.
As the Honduran immigrants head toward the U.S.-Mexico border, we face a challenging moral and policy circumstance. This requires a response from the American government.  The question is: what type of response?

President Trump offered his solution in his tweets – end aid to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras; call up the U.S. military to close the southern border; and scuttle the new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada--all while blaming Democrats.

Less than three weeks from the midterm elections, this purely political solution is sure to energize a segment of the president’s base. But it doesn’t actually solve the problem.

As the president’s tragic “zero-tolerance” policy proved, not even taking children from their parents will keep Central American families from seeking a better life elsewhere. So, let’s understand the problem and take a rational approach.

El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras remain among the most violent countries on the planet. To stop people from fleeing desperate circumstances, local, regional and international policies must be in place to stem the bloodshed and create real opportunities for economic development.

President Trump should propose more targeted aid and incentives to grow the economies of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, while promoting the rule of law. Over time, if people can find work and live securely, they won’t make the trek north.
Really?  They'll stop sneaking into the greatest country in the world--which also is astonishingly generous in giving every imaginable kind of welfare to illegals, including free health care--if they can find work in their shithole countries?  That's utter horse-shit.

Compared to anywhere else, the U.S. is the Emerald City.  Food is affordable and plentiful--especially affordable if you get it free, courtesy of an EBT card.  Illegals in Cali can make $50,000 a year mowing lawns for a living.  Start a company hiring other illegals and you can make five times that much.  It beats hell out of anything they can do in Honduras or El Salvador or Guatemala except work for the cartels, which has... risks.

Of course we'll see how this turns out, but regardless of the outcome you can be absolutely sure the Lying Mainstream Media will spin it as a defeat for Trump, or depict Trump as a monster for enforcing U.S. immigration law.
