So, now that a number of migrants have arrived in Tijuana, and now that Trump is talking in terms of lethal force, what's your take on how this migrant caravan/Border Drama is going to play out? I personally worry about deaths on both sides given how the rhetoric has been amped up lately. Rob
What could be more thanksgivingish than killing a few migrants who have left home seeking a better, safer life somewhere else...
But seriously, my hope is that there are enough adults in the (metaphorical) room so that no one ends up dead despite trump's desire to have there be a few dead brown people to please his base.
Just read a article by a farmer who owns farms in both Florida and California. He lost 500k in one month because he couldn’t hire enough people to pick the crops. He said few citizens ever apply. Even with automation he needs people.
I do not think the soldiers will fire on anyone.
Kent State 1970? They fired. National Guard, but soldiers.
If rocks are thrown, I expect a response.Originally Posted by Yppej
The question will be what force will be used? (rubber bullets, regular bullets, etc)
I do not think caravan members will throw rocks.
Well I was wrong. They are throwing projectiles. Stupid stupid stupid.
Why are you so surprised? I am not. The whole enterprise was a bad idea. People who think they are above the law and can just do whatever they like.
Per the BBC, Mexico is going to deport the ones who stormed the border.

They have a legal right to request asylum. They are not breaking the law by being there. Obviously trying to enter illegally is breaking the law and they will be deported. What we are doing separating families, taking forever to look at asylum requests is breaking the law as well as immoral.
