GOP Congressman Steve King Admits Republicans Are Just Like Nazis

GOP Congressman Steve King defended his support of European Nazis by claiming that if they were in the U.S. they would be Republicans.
Speaking to The Washington Post after a shooter identified as a Christian Nationalist killed 11 at a Pittsburgh Synagogue, King defended his support of white supremacists and Nazis.
Commenting on his support of Austria’s Freedom Party, a group founded by a former Nazi SS officer and whose current leader was active in neo-Nazi circles, King said:
If they (European Nazis) were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans.

Migrants complain of smells, snakes in southern Mexico town

MATIAS ROMERO, Mexico — Migrants from Central America complained of foul smells, snakes and dim lighting in the lot where organizers recommended they camp overnight in southern Mexico, and some occupied a nearby abandoned hotel that had been damaged by an earthquake.

Thousands of migrants arrived in the town of Matias Romero after an exhausting 40-mile (65-kilometer) trek from Juchitan, Oaxaca, where they failed to get the bus transportation they had hoped for. After nightfall, the group decided they would leave at 5 a.m. local time Friday toward the coastal state of Veracruz, with their destination either the town of Donaji or Sayula de Aleman.
Cesar Caraca, a 26-year-old migrant from Honduras, said he killed a poisonous coral snake in the brush near the site at the entrance to Matias Romero where they had set up camp.
"This bites a child and kills him," Caraca said. The meter-long snake coupled with complaints of bad smells and poor lighting led some migrants to move to an empty hotel that had been damaged by a 2017 earthquake.
The migrants have not said what route they intend to take northward or where on the U.S. border they plan to reach, but Veracruz would take them toward the Texas border. Another large caravan early this year passed through Veracruz but then veered back toward Mexico City and eventually tried to head to Tijuana in the far northwest. Few made it.
Immigration agents and police in Mexico are nibbling at the edges of two caravans currently making their way through southern Mexico.
While authorities haven't directly targeted the main caravan of about 4,000 migrants, a second, smaller caravan about 200 miles behind the first group appeared to be more leaderless, get less press attention and be more vulnerable.
A federal official who was not authorized to be quoted by name said 153 migrants in the second caravan were detained Wednesday during highway inspections in the southern state of Chiapas, a short distance from the Guatemalan border. While the precise size of the second caravan is unclear, that could be equivalent to about 10 percent of those participating.
And there was also pressure on the first caravan. Not only did the hoped-for buses not arrive, but federal police began pulling freight trucks over and forcing migrants off, saying their habit of clinging to the tops or sides of the trucks was dangerous.
"Get off! Get off!" police officer Benjamin Grajeda shouted to a group of migrants clinging to the side of a truck outside Juchitan. "You can ride inside, but not on the outside."
At other points along the route, police have forced overloaded pickups to disgorge migrants. On previous days, they have ordered passenger vans to stop transporting migrants.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier praised Mexico for stopping the migrants from getting rides.
"Mexico has stepped up in an unprecedented way," Sanders told Fox News. "They have helped stop a lot of the transportation means of these individuals in these caravans, forcing them walking. They have helped us in new ways to slow this down, to break this up and keep it from moving as aggressively toward the United States."
But U.S. President Donald Trump ramped up his pre-election focus on the caravan a nd others behind it, talking of creating a U.S. military force on the border that would outnumber the migrants, many of them women and children.
"As far as the caravan is concerned, our military is out," Trump said. "We have about 5,800. We'll go up to anywhere between 10,000 and 15,000 military personnel on top of Border Patrol, ICE and everybody else at the border."
A third band of about 500 from El Salvador made it to Guatemala, and a fourth group of about 700 set out from the Salvadoran capital Wednesday.
Similar caravans have occurred regularly over the years and passed largely unnoticed, but Trump has focused on the latest marchers seeking to make border security a hot-button issue in next week's midterm elections.
Worn down by days of long walks, many migrants have dropped out and returned home or applied for protected status in Mexico. The Interior Department said Thursday that the number of migrants who have applied for refuge was now nearly 3,000.
The initial caravan has shrunk significantly from its estimated peak of more than 7,000 migrants. A caravan last spring ultimately fizzled to just about 200 people who reached the U.S. border at San Diego.

Without the promised rides the caravan is getting frustrated

Don't you think it makes a lot more sense to send them to where the migrants are headed than to where they are right now? Why would he even be concerned with their location as long as it's SOUTH of the border?

If your aim is to convince the gullible Trump-supporting Hillbillies that the Prezeedent is defending the US of A from the bigliest threat of all time, it doesn't matter if you send the troops to Disneyland.

It is a stunt.
