Mexico: US closes border

Mexico: US closes border to test resistance against migrant caravan




US authorities closed the San Ysidro border in Tijuana for at least 30 minutes on Thursday in a practice exercise designed to ward off the thousands of migrants who began amassing near the pedestrian crossing.

The closure affected only vehicle traffic moving towards the US. Army members were present, but were not called upon during the exercises.

At the same time many migrants decided to stage an indefinite sit-down at the entrance to the border bridge, thus hoping to exert pressure on US immigration authorities over their asylum application.

The migrants were closely managed by Mexican police to prevent any illegal crossings.

The situation along the border remains tense. US President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent the migrant caravan from entering the country and instead chose to bolster border security.

The natural BoR’s, which apply to all human beings, not just Americans. And the elimination of the right to travel freely.

So this is what it looks like. Which will encourage that Berlin Wall, Biometric ID, guns at the faces of innocent until proven guilty people.

Seeking asylum, probably to work, as Section 8 workers having multiple babies to increase their checks refuse to work those border jobs, I will get to pay more for walls and government databases, and certainly the welfare, both state and individual, that nobody, even “republicans”, want to talk about.

So much for the side of liberty and freedom as each side takes their turn every “election”.

You don't have a right to travel freely. The "No Trespassing" signs along my fence are pretty absolute.

My “private property” has those same signs. And well protected.

You have never had a right to travel freely. If you happen to have permission to visit S Korea and stray across the border, the North Koreans will arrest you and beat you and starve you. To death. Even if you get lost and you stray across the border, the Mexicans will arrest you and hold you in jail for 214 days. If you are a Christian pastor and go to live peacefully in Turkey, you can be arrested and held for trial on charges based on nothing.

Try any legimate means of crossing our border. If you don’t have the documentation, consider yourself a prisoner.

Eliminate welfare and all the problems go away. Unfortunately there are no political figures actually pushing for that as a solution to the myriad of problems that come as a result of some unspoken promise that the earners in this country will pay for everything.

Instead we have former Ron Paul supporters in bed with the MAGA movement and this country has no hope for a better future. It will destroy itself. I’m done caring though. I’m going to focus on me and not politics. The powers that control this country are far too powerful to expect any amount of voting or personal activism to make a dent and all it does is alienate people because god forbid you suggest our military isn’t doing an honorable service to the country in all the countries we have bombed with nothing to show for it.

/rant.

Let the stupid migrants in we are $#@!ed anyways

Korea wasn't founded on the Declaration of Independence- not to mention our original BoR. Heaven forbid we should actually go by those precepts.

If these people were as passionate about fixing their own government as they are about forcing their way into the USA, they could be back in Honduras living like kings.

You don't have a right to invade another country, the reason is that invaders are likely to violate the rights of the natives and the natives have a right to defend against that.

The BoR says nothing about a right to invade another country and the DoI declares our right to be separate and protect our rights from foreigners.

The problem will not go away, if we were libertarian we would be much wealthier and the invaders would still come.
If we keep them out we have a fighting chance to save this country, if we let them in we become the Boers and the country becomes Zimbabwe.

Much easier to walk on in to the U.S. There is no will to fight here and a self loathing that will put their needs before our own.

We're fighting a rear guard action while being overrun, displaced and replaced.

I'm thinking the only thing left to do is choose sides:

Chief Joseph or Sitting Bull.

Just remember, it is a passive-aggressive war.

It is a game, attack passively and when the others defend themselves, play the victim.... and so on, and so on.....

@Zippyjuan was telling us they would peacefully stand in line making troops deployments at the border unnecessary.

By all means, go ahead.

Just about every issue including this one is moot. You and most other “republicans” are the problem.

If all of the “republicans” in this country stood on principle, which you don’t, and called their representatives across this country, which you don’t, the same way they are dedicated to “voting”, which you are, perhaps putting an End to the Welfare could succeed and there would be no need for a Berlin Wall, biometrics or other police state tactics that line the modernized MIC, which it will.

congress/senate/corporatist statists love people like you, because as long as bandaids are applied they continue to profit while enslaving human beings - on all sides of the borders - insert country name [here].

This is just short sighted open borders ridiculousness. Imagine the USA is a Libertarian utopia, there will still be billions of people living in $#@!hole countries that will want to move here, those people wont be libertarians, and they will vote away the Libertarian utopia within a single generation. Isn't that what already happened in the USA? As more and more people settled in the USA, the further and more destructive to the constitution the general mindset has become.

2 wrongs don’t make a right. Sacrificing liberty for security... I guess the old saying is true “you can’t stop the change”. Welcome Berlin Wall, Biometrics, federal databases, rising prices because nobody in Section 8 will work those border jobs, eminent domain and continued/endless Welfare. Get used to it, it’s the “only way”.

PS, the constitution, Bill of Rights becomes even more moot, according to your logic.
