The White House Is Now Claiming 'A Daily Caravan' Is Crossing The Border

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 there’s “a daily caravan” entering the country.

White House director of strategic communications Mercedes Schlapp appeared on “Dumb Fux & Friends” Friday to drive home the president’s anti-immigrant message in the days before the midterm elections.

“What we’re seeing right now is you’re having this influx of illegal aliens,” Schlapp said. “You’re talking about 1,000 to 2,000 illegal aliens crossing our border daily. We’re 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 it’s the military.

wait to shoot some immigrants and then blame the democratic party and democrats.

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...

Right-wingers always take that one step to far into illogical territory.

Dodge Caravans. Sometimes even Grand Caravans.

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.
