Migrant Caravan

Hey we Canadians led the campaign to oust Gadhafi from Libya , .

nope.

Who was PM at the time? Harper, that's who. It was, as far as I'm concerned, one of Canada's darkest hours.

Canada’s darkest moment was sacrificing our youth on the shores of Dieppe .

...and then there is Winston, listed as a founding fater of the commie EU...

We laid waste an entire country so we could steal their gold, put a stop to their plans to take Africa off the WMF Yankee money scam. It was the most advanced country in Africa (free education, medical, most of new housing paid for, etc) now it is a pile of rubble and in utter chaos. Dieppe was a mishap by comparison.

Sending green, untrained, underequipped recruits to Hong Kong into the hands of the cruel Japanese is arguably darker.

We surrendered by order of the same people who sent our troops to Dieppe . Canadian forces were holding their own in Hong Kong and had a route to retreat and support . Orders from above caused the surrender and consequential imprisonment and all the sh-t those men didn’t need to endure . Another dark hour . According to the vets I talked with , we paid back .

I knew one of the survivors of Hong Kong from our local sailing community. He. Was a dedicated "peacenik" after having spent most of the war as a slave to the Japanese.

Oddly enough they were our best troops at the time. Just like Dieppe.

It simply did not pay to be well-trained.

There was no time to train them.

Apparently Hitler is to have said: he always knew where the real attack was coming from because that's where the Canadians were.

Migrant child dies in U.S. custody; 4th since December

HOUSTON — A Guatemalan official says a 2 1/2-year-old migrant child has died after crossing the border, becoming the fourth minor known to have died after being detained by the Border Patrol since December.
Tekandi Paniagua, the consul for Guatemala in Del Rio, Texas, said Wednesday that the boy had entered the United States with his mother at El Paso, Texas, in early April. Paniagua said the boy had a high fever and difficulty breathing, and authorities took him to a children’s hospital where he was diagnosed with pneumonia.
The boy remained hospitalized for about a month before dying Tuesday. The Washington Post first reported his death.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said the boy’s mother told agents he was sick on April 6, three days after they were apprehended, and he was hospitalized that day.
Advocates have long questioned the Border Patrol’s ability to care for the thousands of parents and children in its custody. The agency says it’s overwhelmed by the surge of migrant families crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Exclusive: Trump weighs plan to choke off asylum for Central Americans

President Donald Trump is considering sweeping restrictions on asylum that would effectively block Central American migrants from entering the U.S., according to several administration officials and advocates briefed on the plan.
A draft proposal circulating among Trump’s Homeland Security advisers would prohibit migrants from seeking asylum if they have resided in a country other than their own before coming to the U.S., according to a DHS official and an outside advocate familiar with the plan. If executed, it would deny asylum to thousands of migrants waiting just south of the border, many of whom have trekked a perilous journey through Mexico.
Trump alluded to the asylum changes Thursday as he departed for Colorado, telling reporters he is “going to do something very dramatic on the border.“
“I would say my biggest statement" on the border, the president said. Trump added he would not be closing the border as he has threatened numerous times, but would make an announcement about the people crossing it.
"This is a big league statement," Trump said. "I'm not closing the border, I'm doing something else."
The White House did not respond to questions about the president’s remarks but two people familiar with the proposal said he was referring to asylum changes.
Immigration advocates familiar with the proposal expressed alarm at its scope, even as they questioned whether it would hold up in court. U.S. law allows refugees to request asylum when they arrive on U.S. soil but has long included an exemption for those who have already emigrated to a safe country.
While the details are still in flux, many migrants have been held up by Trump‘s “remain in Mexico” policy that forces asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their asylum requests are pending.
“It’s unbelievably extreme to try to inhibit anyone who comes through another country in their quest for asylum,” said Kerri Talbot, the federal advocacy director for Immigration Hub, an advocacy group for migrants. “It basically means it would block all Central Americans from coming to the U.S.”
While Trump aides believe they can make the changes through an administrative rule, they are also seeking a legislative fix that would be far less vulnerable to a court challenge. Similar language is expected to be included in Trump’s new immigration bill that would boost security at the southern border and push the nation to admit more high-skilled, well-educated immigrants, rather than immigrants who enter the U.S. based on family ties, according to two people familiar with the proposal.
White House staff, including Ja’Ron Smith and Theodore Wold — both special assistants to the president for domestic policy — briefed Republican senators on the proposed legislation Wednesday at the Capitol, according to a person familiar with the meeting. The White House expects to release the legislation in the coming days, but did not respond to requests for comment.
Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which has pushed to restrict asylum claims, said the administration has been looking for ways to make the changes for some time.
“People don’t have a right to pick and choose where they ask for asylum,” he said.

Another tax on the American Middle Class ... first Chinese goods, now Mexican ones. The consumer loses. The US government collects more revenues straight from Middle Class wallets.

Plenty of options they won't miss a beat, Order from Canada for a 25% discount even money Lol

Exactly what is Mexico supposed to do to stop migrants? Mexico doesn't have a law against leaving Mexico.

 

[Twin_Moose]

They have some of the strictest immigration laws for entering their country prison or deportation, they just reclassified the immigrants/asylum seekers as migrants to permit them through their country.
