Oh, just few peaceful able bodied military age runners in training for Olympics.

You are just using this site to amplify Trumpian disinformation about a complete nothingburger.

Border crisis? There is no crisis. Simply a number of refugees and good people trying to come into this country to improve their lives.

There are currently 100k people coming across per month. When will it hit crisis mode in your perspective? President Obama's DHS chief has said there is a crisis right now. The democratic congressman whose district borders 700+ miles of the border has said there is a crisis. Stop gaslighting. This is a crisis. [/quote]

When are you going to acknowledge the dire humanitarian crisis that Trump and people like you and the PP are purposefully ignoring because it’s inconvenient?

The people coming to this country from the south are desperate. They are fleeing horrific violence and deep poverty. History will judge you. [/quote]
1. How many are you housing?
2. Where exactly would you like to put the rest of them?
3. Do you actually want to maintain open borders for everyone in the world who is enduring violence and poverty?

Thank you.

These people aren’t just “anyone in the world” - they are our neighbors. Thier crises have become our crises because we are not meaningfully addressing the root issues that make Central America one of the most violent and impoverished in the world.  No one is talking about helping everyone in the world; we are talking about helping people in Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, among other CA countries. Unless we do that, people will keep coming because they are desperate to survive.

Oh and by the way, most illegal immigrants come here through airports and overstay thier legally obtained visas. But don’t let facts about illegal immigrants interfere with your temper tantrum. No wall to the south will fix that and as long as people are desperate enough, they will find ways around walls and barriers, just like they do today.

We helped to create the mess that is Central America and yet aren’t willing to help fix it.

Wrong.  We have sent billions of dollars in aid to Central America - year after year - to help alleviate those problems, yet there is nothing to show for it.  That money could have been used here in the U.S. to fight the opioid epidemic, homelessness, etc.  But instead, it's been flushed down the toilet.  Central Americans will *always* want to come to the U.S. and no amount of aid will change that.  I'm tired of giving away billions of dollars to countries that won't use it as intended, and I know many people who feel the same way.  Enough is enough.
