CNN on the tube when he asked me what I thought should be done about the
caravan.

Who knows what the plan is, but there are limits to what the military can do
domestically. It is interesting they seem to be most worried about both left
and right wing extremists here than dealing with those in the caravans.
If I were planning things, I would coordinate with the Mexican government to
implement any plans as quickly as possible wherever this caravan shows up.
They need a staging area and a number of locations for supporting these Central
American travelers as they are processed into or transported to other than the
US of A, although I think there is a pretty good case for all or most of these
people having a greater claim on our country than most living here now ;-)
It will be interesting, and I hope not tragic given the super charged politics
Trump is ramping up over this wave of would be immigrants.
The costs of deploying the military versus some other solution coordinated with
Mexico and perhaps other Latin American countries is something I would like to
see. Just like the silly Wall of Trump, there are cheaper and more effective
alternatives to accomplish whatever this administration has in mind.
The Southwest states don’t look at immigration in any way similar to how Trump
is manipulating the issues, I think, so this stunt—as serious as General Mattis
takes the mission, for Trump this is a campaign stunt—could backfire in a big
way.
Thoughts?
‘Take the red pill’. And vote on Tuesday everyone. If we get nothing more than
a great turnout for these midterms, that’s something.
