Y'all are bitching about this when y'all should be bitching that it cost $200 million+ to send the troops there on our own soil. What the -blam!- cost so damn much?

So... what's the problem? Here's the thing: in the past, we've always needed a reason to stimulate the economy by taking on massive government debt. In 2009, the reason was that the economy was on the brink of collapse. In 2017, the reason was that rich people didn't have enough money (which was twice as good of a reason, based on the amount of money spent). But this caravan crisis has shown that immigration is the perfect fake reason. I suggest that we identify the most economically-depressed areas in the country, such as coal towns in Appalachia, with mines shut down and an opioid crisis, and convince them that an immigrant invasion is imminent. We then indefinitely relocate thousands of troops to each town, thus supercharging economic growth due to the infrastructure that will need to be built to support them, and the businesses that will open in response to new demand. Thus, we will provide jobs and stimulus to the people in our country suffering the most, while also raising the spirit of nationalism, improving military effectiveness against the 3 million subversive illegals who already faked the last election, and educating West Virginia on its shared border with Guatemala.

The war on illegal immigration is a war we've actually set out to lose, not win. If we WANTED to stop illegal immigration, we could do so anytime: no walls, no deportation, just enforcing certain laws and punishing violations. But we rely on illegals too much. And Trump, being a businessman, knows this.

The fact that the caravan consists of what are clearly economic migrants makes me feel like they should be helped. However the fact that there are reports of them already trying to enter illegally makes me lose sympathy for them.

Or maybe things have cooled down a little. Troops play a support role but were there if things escalated.

Wag the Dog. We have a grifter and a sociopath as President. Grifters are like stage magicians. They are masters at controlling attention and creating illusions. So that you don't see what they're trying to really do. Just look at how he's now trying to undermine the judiciary---even to the point of provoking Chief Justice Roberts to finally weigh in and basically tell him to STFU----all to try to deflect attention from the fact he got his hand smacked again trying to do something unconstitutional in the service of bigotry and divisiveness. This man who is personally unburdened by principles, is testing ours as a nation. The Center is holding. But the Right has clearly sold its soul....

Drawdown doesnt mean they're all leaving: the ones left have already been approved to use force. Happy Thanksgiving beanlets
