Flashback 2011:He also boasted that the Mexican authorities acted because of their threats to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
I just heard that the caravan that came from Honduras has been dissolved, and that Mexico did it, the tycoon told reporters during a luncheon with the leaders of the Baltic States in the White House.
They have done it because, frankly, I told them that they really had to do it. (I told them that) if we are going to have a relationship in NAFTA, that we are going to have to include security in NAFTA," he added about the agreement that the US is attempting to renegotiate with Mexico and Canada.
Apparently it’s mostly men who are fleeing Central America for the United States.
Do women and babies have more courage to stay behind, or is this just a setup?
Photos and videos of the so-called “caravan” being shepherded by the US group “People Without Borders” from Central American countries, through Mexico and to the United States shows participants are overwhelmingly men.
A woman in the group estimates there are about 1,300 preparing to enter the United States, legally or not.
Fox News reports most say they are fleeing “violence and poverty.”
And while that doesn’t qualify as “persecution,” Fox says 88% of those who seek asylum get an immigration court hearing
The caravan has shades of the invasion of Europe when most “refugees” were male.
Pew Global reports:
The percentage of unaccompanied minors among all asylum seekers to Europe rose in 2015 , reaching roughly 7% of all asylum applicants. Between 2008 and 2015, about 70% to 80% of these unaccompanied minors annually were boys ages 14 to 17. About 10% annually were girls in the same age cohort. Since data on unaccompanied minors have been tracked by Eurostat starting in 2008, about 10% of unaccompanied minors annually have been ages 13 and under in any given year.
Since 2008, 39% of all unaccompanied minor asylum seekers have come from Afghanistan. In all, about 77,000 unaccompanied minors, mostly teenage boys, have made the trek from Afghanistan to Europe. A further 19,000 unaccompanied minors from Syria have applied for asylum between 2008 and 2015. And an additional 13,000 unaccompanied minors from Somalia as well as 12,000 from Eritrea have sought asylum in Europe since 2008.
Why is primarily men who are seeking asylum in the United States?
And is that the real objective, or is it to obtain illegal jobs or commit other crimes?
And why is People Without Borders, the U.S. charity helping immigrants to break federal law, still tax-exempt?
She noted that federal officials have not reached out to request troops from Oregon.In her latest resistance to the Trump administration, Gov. Kate Brown announced Wednesday that she will refuse to let Oregon National Guard troops be stationed at the U.S.-Mexico border, should President Trump seek to dispatch them there.
Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday making clear his intention to beef up security at the country's southern border, in part with National Guard forces.
Brown, a Democrat, tweeted that if Trump asks her to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the border, "I'll say no."
"As Commander of Oregon's Guard, I'm deeply troubled by Trump's plan to militarize our border," Brown tweeted.
"There's been no outreach by the president or federal officials, and I have no intention of allowing Oregon's guard troops to be used to distract from his troubles in Washington," Brown wrote.

New reports have emerged that dozens of House Democrats waived the background checks on the #AwanBrothers -- the House I.T. aides handling their cybersecurity and with access to their email systems. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton went to Capitol Hill last year to help shine a spotlight on the ongoing #AwanBrothers I.T. scandal in the House of Representatives that the mainstream media -- and, sadly, even our Justice Department and much of Congress -- are all ignoring. This is a story that involves political corruption, alleged cybersecurity breaches, the potential sharing of private constituent info, possible large-scale fraud, cover-ups, and threats to our national security.
Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!
If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand, the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!
My guess is that he really wanted to leave syria, mainly because he saw what amount of numbers (aka. money) are spend there. Then shortly after this statement of Trump, "his administration" corrected his statement and assured the public that this is of course not on the table. Who would have guessed so! Now Trump has to listen to this John Bolton character for advice on national security. I guess the guy is already putting quite some pressure on Trump, and I'm not even mentioning the other crazies who do so as well!
It also seems a bit too coincidental that this chemical attack happened on the same day as the fire in the Trump Tower.
Also, tomorrow John Bolton will officially become the new national security advisor.
Yes that is an interesting coincidence. Almost exactly three months ago, to the day, another fire was breaking out in the Trump Tower:
Trump Tower fire: three people injured in New York City blaze

Mike seems to be picking up on a glimpse of the future with his "conservative genocide" bit... Commenters shoot him down as being negative, pessimistic, claiming "not gonna happen", etc. but yet they have absolutely NO IDEA what everyone will be up against sometime soon.I think the liberals will get their Hitler eventually.
