The Caravan Arrives

Getting more dangerous.  Caravans’ coming.

That was a tweet from Trump, including the grammatical error.

Last Saturday at a rally in Michigan he whipped up the crowd, saying, “Are you watching that mess that’s going on right now with the caravan coming up?”

I get so tired of the constant crap coming out of this administration.  Under international law and U.S. law, when people apply for asylum, we are obliged to allow them entry.  They then undergo a process to see whether they have a legitimate fear.  Most of the asylum seekers from Central America have actually been rejected.  Most of the present group, of about 200, are children.  

We do our best to discourage asylum seekers.  We separate children from families, and we delay them by saying that the port of entry has reached capacity.  According to the Times, however, Jeff Sessions is sending more Justice Department lawyers to San Ysidro to process the applicants.  Good for him.


In the meantime, Trump continues to whip up hysteria.  What a jerk.
