    So what is their actual ETA?

      I have no idea what their ETA is, but there is a bunch of folks.

      I saw some videos of people getting trucked and bussed, but there are apparently thousands of folks, and there aint that many trucks.

      I think they are barely getting to South Mexico. Long way to walk to get to here still.

        The hurricane about to make landfall on the west coast may slow them down some. It's likely to cause flooding all across central Mexico.

            And they always seem to have nice clean clothes on

                  The democraps will have them on a plane by the end of this week and land them on the border by the weekend.

                      probably the day before the election so people can see how mistreated they are by R's.

                        ETA is probably opening weekend of deer season. Can you image a 7,000 person caravan passing through south TX?

                          I'm all for open borders...if two countries have relatively equivalent economies, opportunity, cost of living, security, standard of living, education, immigration policies, etc. Basically making it not worth it for citizens of each country to move to the other.

                          But any one of those things not being equal will cause a shift in population from one to the other placing the burden of two populations on a single entity, destroying it.

                          South and Central American countries simply aren't our equivalent in those any of these areas. Hell, even if we annexed Mexico, you'd have to keep the border regulated for decades (probably a century) until we could improve it enough (at significant cost).

                          Edit: I'll add that countries with vastly different cultures could also not sustain open borders.

                            Surprised Trump hasn't thought about the annexation of Mexico. I mean, the wall would be A WHOLE LOT SHORTER and CHEAPER.

                              And I think there's a key bit of info these people wanting open borders don't understand. These people want to move here because we've have better "benefits" of citizenship. What I mean by that is security, opportunity, education, etc. Well if well allow tons and tons of people coming in, that spreads the benefits over a much larger group, which in turn reduces those benefits. So, not only would those people not end up getting what they wanted in the first place, they'd also F it up for the people living there.

                                Isn't that the definition of Socialism?
