Gaslight! Fear! FEAR!
All we hear from the leader of our country, President Trump, aided and enabled by Fox News, is the immigrant caravan marching toward America's southern border is an "invasion." That is absolutely absurd, and a sad commentary on our President, and on Fox News for foster fear and hate toward immigrants.
Several thousand desperate people, including women, teen boys an girls, toddlers, and babies with NO weapons, are headed toward our border. They are not a threat in any way.
GOP led Congress allows Tweety to do anything he wants, including wasting incredible amounts of tax dollars on fake national emergencies.
"For Trump, a ‘national emergency’ is anything he says it is — including the migrant caravan"

"President Trump said Wednesday that he would deploy as many as 15,000 military personnel to the border with Mexico in response to caravans of Central American migrants making their way northward, doubling the figure Pentagon officials have announced would be operating there.
“We’ll go up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel on top of Border Control, ICE and everybody else at the border,” Trump said in remarks to reporters before departing Washington for a campaign rally in Florida. “Nobody’s coming in. We’re not allowing people to come in.”"
Cost? Tweety has absolutely no care about what his impulses cost the tax payers!
"Travis Sharp, a research fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, estimated that a deployment of 15,000 active-duty troops through mid-December would cost from $90 million to $110 million. He calculated a 10,000-troop deployment of active-duty forces would cost about $60 million to $75 million.
Gen. Terrence O’Shaughnessy, commander of Northern Command, said Tuesday that he could not give an estimate of the operation’s cost."
Bull shit General! You damn well know the cost is huge! You KNOW what it will cost because Bush and Obama sent troops too, for months and years, and it cost tens of millions!

"The president tweeted a video Wednesday that featured Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican immigrant in the United States illegally who was sentenced to death this year after he was convicted of killing two police officers in California — using the image to make the demand: “Vote Republican now!”"
Lies! Lie! Lie! Divide America, hate America, destroy America.
