There is an invading army headed to our southern border. A massive group, now estimated to be 10,000+ strong, appears to be headed toward the US/Mexico border from Honduras. While I am sure this group has men, women and children who dream of making a decent life in America, there are also many among them who are thinking of how they can ply their criminal trades in America. MS-13 regularly gets recruits from those who cross the border. Also, the Honduran government has already arrested some 100+ ISIS fighters who were among the group headed north. How many have escaped detection?
Early in the week VP Pence said, “It’s inconceivable that there are not people of Middle Eastern descent in a crowd of more than 7,000 people advancing towards our border. In the last fiscal year we apprehended more than 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists at our Southern Border from countries … other than Mexico.”
Our MSM tried to pooh-pooh this idea. They said that any such individual with a Middle East background immigrated to Honduras decades ago. Why they believe they can bamboozle the American public with another round of fake news is anybody’s guess. It also should be noted that the big majority of marchers in the group picturess are military-age men. Yet on the evening news you see mostly women and children.
VP press secretary Alyssa Farah reported, “In 2017 alone the U.S. apprehended on average 10 suspected terrorists a day attempting to enter the country illegally. And those are just the ones that we catch. It’s inconceivable that this caravan – which is being broadcast around the globe – hasn’t already been infiltrated by individuals with ties to extremism.”
Most reasonable people would suggest that if these people need asylum, they should stop at one of our 8 consulates in Mexico or at our embassy in Mexico to request this. However, the Democrats are not buying into this idea. As Bob Livingston at Personal Liberty noted:
The more interesting question is about who is paying for this. This operation is not cheap. There is significant money being used to bankroll this migration. Pictures have circulated on Twitter of some of these marchers being paid as they joined the mob heading north. So, who is footing the bill?
VP Pence said quietly during an interview with the Washington Post, “… Financed by Venezuela; and sent North to challenge our sovereignty and our border…” Really!? Venezuela doesn’t have enough money to finance their corrupt socialist nightmare of a government. They depend heavily on massive infusions of capital from Russia and China, especially China.
So, if Venezuela is spending money on this venture, it seems most likely that the money is coming from China. This makes sense from the perspective of China. The Chinese are attempting to strain the improving relations between the US and Mexico. The USMCA agreement has closed a backdoor into US markets for the Chinese. This is to the detriment of Chinese investment in Mexico under the previous corrupt Mexican leadership. So, the Chinese needed a new way to exert pressure on AMLO and PDJT.
Where are the Democrats in all of this? Why aren’t they up in arms over the threat to our sovereignity as a country? Why aren’t they denouncing this clear and present danger to the country that this “caravan” represents? All we hear is crickets. As Bob Livingston noted, all the Dems see are “potential voters to be purchased with taxpayer-funded entitlements.”
