[samintx]

Wasn’t a riot or confrontational just peaceful seeing an opening an walking thru but stopped by border patrol.

May grow testy with a iMessage.

Unfortunately, this plays right into Dumbf's hands. Their conditions are deplorable, and the people are desperate.

Anything can happen, but closing the border will impact far more than a few hundred refugees. Think tens of thousands who cross daily. AND the thousands who spent Thanksgiving vacation on the other side. They'll be headed home today. Those voices have yet to be heard… and many of them are Americans.

It's like he's trying to turn it into some kind of war zone or something.

He would love to see this turn into a real confrontation to justify his opinion of the brown skinned people. Ugly, criminal, leaches.

Thing is, as asylum seekers they have every right to march up to the border and check in with border-security.

Yup, anywhere along the border, not only at established crossings.

We were there yesterday, joking about the presence of the Border Patrol... they had pop-up tent "oasis" rest stops w/ porta potties on the berm to keep the border cops there at all times, and more patrol cars than we've ever seen. Outlets at the border were the most crowded ever for BF weekend, w/ parking a real nightmare. We joked about the refugee caravan rushing the border, but it turned out the joke was on us less than a day later. At least we got our shopping in before the fit hit the shan.

From the breathless headlines you'd think it was a replay of Helm's Deep complete with trebuchets.

I particularly love the US Border patrol firing volleys of teargas INTO MEXICO. Hello ? Invasion anyone ?

(Note that the border patrol has been shooting into Mexico and murdering people on a regular basis over the years._
