They are making hay while the sun shines.

 

The illegal activity will be massively reduced once Biden goes.

So Trump’s client Media, The New York Post haven’t thought this through.

 

Either these immigrants don’t believe Trump will lock them up in camps and then deport them en masse, or don’t believe Trump will win the election.

 

In this respect the immigrants are showing signs of clearer analysis of Trump’s lies and prospects than his supporters.

 

 

Time. AP and the Hill?

 

Thousands of Migrants Leave Southern Mexico On Foot in New Caravan Headed for the U.S. Border

Some of the members of the group said they hoped to make it to the U.S. border before elections are held in November, because they fear that if Donald Trump wins he will follow through on a promise to close the border to asylum-seekers.

So, economic migrants.  Not asylum seekers.

 

Best they leave or not come at all. 

there is a plan to incentivize illegals going back voluntarily! If they choose this they have a better chance of being put on a 

priority list to have their asylum cases heard. If not they will be subject to a lifetime ban.

Migrants Rush to US Border Ahead of Possible Trump Presidency

 

Why all the Fuss? Close the border 100 %  and Keep it closed .

If people sneak in Send them Back  100%  No Excuses.

The US doesn't need to be Invaded with Illegals and crims  If people want to go to the US there are  Proper  Legal ways of doing that.

I know a lot of doo gooders and Humanitarians will Not  like /Agree with this but In My Humble opinion this Will be the Only way to stop this Border problem.

I don't understand the urgency.   The significant date is Inauguration Day, which isn't until January.  That's when any new programs will start to be implemented.

Trump built a wall the Mexicans didn’t pay for with gaps everywhere.

The immigrants just walk to the gaps and walk right in.

Trump didn't build a wall, at least not much more than a token effort.

You clearly don't understand the problem.

 

First off, Border Patrol is apprehending a lot more illegals under Biden than they did under Trump.

 

Most illegals come in at legal ports of entry, not out in the desert. They either present themselves as asylum seekers, or enter in buses with fake papers, arranged by the large agribusinesses who need them to work in the fields. In the latter case, those who bring in the illegals are big Republican donors, so Republican policy is to make big noise, but not stop the labor supply.

They aren't.

 

The number of people presenting themselves at the border is way down.

Perhaps you're responding to the wrong thread.

Did you ever consider the possibility that not all of them, or even most of them, suffer that unhappy fate?

How could that be? Do think those criminal gangs only rob every other migrant along the Darien Gap? Do you think corrupt cops only take bribes from every other migrant?

 

Has anyone worked out just how much money they need to get from Africa or Asia or Cuba to the Mexican border? I don't know how much it would take, but I'm sure it's more than the professed poor migrants can afford on their own.

Still banging that worn out drum then? Given that there are likely a LOT more illegals now than under Trump, of COURSE they are apprehending a lot more illegals. Even a 1st grader could understand that.

Trump looms so large on the world stage that apparently even the mention of him makes a certain human demographic lose their cognitive ability.
