Liberals are breathtakingly simple minded.
Agree. Their grasp on things are unbelievably simplistic. I remember arguing about Obamacare: Their mantra was "it's good for everyone to have insurance. Why wouldn't you want that?" and MY response was that it was impossible to 1) insure a greater number of people, 2) require insurance companies to provide more extensive coverage, and 3) have it all cheaper. Just as one example.
Liberals aren’t thinking, they are feeling.

No, it does not. The caravan isn't headed for Ellis Island. They are planning on sneaking over the border like criminals.
They're planning on turning themselves in to ask for asylum. That's hardly "sneaking."
Have you actually talked to any of them? Or listened to reporters' interviews with any of them? Heartbreaking stories of murder and rape and threats and traumatized children.
But when you have no heart then it can't be broken. So good on you for your callousness toward fellow human beings.
I feel very sorry for these people. I truly do. But in all honesty what exactly do you propose we do? Would you propose letting anyone into the US who has heartbreaking stories of murder, rape and threats of traumatized children? Because that is happening all over the world.
Turning a blind eye to the suffering of people is not what Great America about. We certainly can be as bad as Saudi Arabia - but I hope that's not our ideal.
Ok so my question remains- what exactly do you propose we do? Would you propose letting anyone into the US who has heartbreaking stories of murder, rape and threats of traumatized children? Please answer that.
Yes I would. The people who come to this country to escape poverty from Europe and committed Native American genocide should not have a greater right to this land than someone else is trying to escape poverty/violence and begging asylum.
Another liberal who can't separate emotion from legal reality.

Before the Escondido city council in California voted four to one to join the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the sanctuary state, a legal immigrant gave an impassioned speech about how he came to America.
“I speak to you as an immigrant myself,” he said Wednesday while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. “I came to this country 45 years ago with me and my mother. Okay. 45 years ago we were not offered sanctuary! We were not offered easier, softer way. Okay. We were told you have to be an American citizen and here’s what you have to do, and we did it. We worked hard. And we put in our time.”
The man said he was now a proud U.S. citizen, with the documentation hanging on his wall to prove it.

Yes, many are families fleeing for a better life but you would be burying your head in the sand not to acknowledge the level of crime that crosses the border as well.
February 15th hearing of the House Judiciary Committee:
A panelist who testified at the hearing—Dr. Keith Humphreys of the Stanford University School of Medicine—said that the opioid epidemic is, "…at its most destructive [in] rural areas that don’t have sanctuary cities and indeed generally don’t have cities at all. Recent immigrants are rare, yet opioid addiction is rampant. That’s because the opioid epidemic was made in America, not in Mexico, China, or any other foreign country.”

In 2015, 20K overdose deaths were from prescription opioids, and 13K were due to heroin.

From what I know about asylum, you're supposed to turn yourself in to the first safe country you enter. Country-shopping isn't the point of asylum. If that's true, the fact that they traversed Mexico without turning themselves in will speak against them.
