A day after President Donald Trump warned that migrants in a U.S.-bound caravan risk being shot if they throw rocks, a White House spokeswoman claimed on Fox News that theres a daily caravan entering the country.
White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp appeared on Dumb Fux & Friends Friday to drive home the presidents anti-immigrant message in the days before the midterm elections.
What were seeing right now is youre having this influx of illegal aliens, Schlapp said. Youre talking about 1,000 to 2,000 illegal aliens crossing our border daily. Were talking about a daily caravan coming into America.

Reporters asked Trump on Thursday if he could imagine the U.S. military firing on unarmed people traveling in the migrant caravan, a group of over 7,000 people who are currently an estimated 900 miles away.
I hope not, Trump said. I hope not, but its the military.

I don't trust rump one bit, nor any of his cronies...
If this or something like this happens, there needs to be a reckoning and rump needs to be forced out of office. No more pussy footing w/ this idiot, or he's going to get innocent people killed (his words have already done so).
Keep an eye on these nuts...

I don't know exactly how many undocumented immigrants come into the USA daily. There's better ways to secure the border, but demonizing asylum seekers and building walls isn't the solution. Besides if the headline jobless rate gets to zero, we will need immigrants to do the work.
