Jorge Ramos: 'There is no invasion at the border'

Univision host Jorge Ramos said on Wednesday that “there is no invasion at the border” after President Trump said in a tweet that a “big Caravan of People from Honduras” was headed to the U.S. through Mexico.

Ramos, who has clashed with Trump in the past, also argued in a tweet that sending the military to patrol the southern border would be a waste of time and money.




Ramos's tweet comes a day after Trump announced that he would be sending military troops to guard the southern border until a wall is built.

In recent days, Trump has been highlighting “caravans” of immigrants headed to the U.S. through Mexico after a Fox News report.

People in Mexico follow an old custom borrowed from the Spaniards who borrowed it from the Moors:

Mi casa es su casa; my home is your home.

I think it's in the Bible somewhere too.

These are the kinds of people who, if you were to tell them that the sky is blue, would try to find some way to claim that the sky being blue is part of a liberal conspiracy. Those are the kinds of idiots we're dealing with here.

"Bienvenidos!" signs by the parking space. I'm sitting out here right now, waving a little Mexican flag, shooing off the odd Hummer that drives by, and conducting our local welcoming marimba band (it has a kind of bluegrass feel, but I'm sure our new overlords will understand).

it is a frightening situation and is not normal. It's time the Republicans and his family step up and do something about it. He has serious mental issues over and above not being particularly intelligent, in other words rather stupid.

just have soldiers lining the border? I think it was Rachel who said to engage them in policing the border would be a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

He's losing it. Where are you Republicans.
