Who is behind the “caravan” ?

Arizona

VP Mike Pence just told us that the Caravan is being funded by Venezuela. However, Venezuela doesn’t have any money to sustain its own operational government – let alone a 10,000 person convoy. Venezuela is entirely reliant upon massive investment from Russia and China.

It makes sense from the perspective of China, Russia and Venezuela to use their alliance to create a border crisis between the United States and Mexico, especially since the interests of President-elect Lopez Obrador and President Trump are now aligned within the U.S-MCA trade agreement; which is structured to the detriment of pre-existing Chinese investment in Mexico under their prior -and corrupt- Mexican leadership.

They are dirty leeches, sucking the life out of the American taxpayer. So glad I am over sixty and won't be around when all the things that made America number one are gone and we are another failed land. Highest percentage of foreign born Americans ever in this land (don't be a stupid asshole and mention colonial times because by the time of the revolution most people had been born here) and not coincidentally poorest America has ever been. Democrats focus on the losers south of the border so they can make it a racial thing, but we're overrun with Albanians and Eastern European illegals here and they are awful and white so change your panties Randon, who ain't paying a cent for these assholes.

This is exactly how the migrant crisis began in Europe a few years ago. A group of several thousand “Syrians” showed up on the border of Hungary and were allowed to travel through. Angela Merkel embraced them. That sent a signal and millions of others from as far away as Afghanistan have now entered Europe. It has changed the European culture and resulted in a political backlash.

A second group of “refugees” is already forming in Central America, ready to march. It will not end there unless the first group is stopped.

From what I saw on CBS this morning there were a lot of male looking females and children going by their reporter and camera and I also saw an interview with someone ( who requested his face be kept off camera) that was deported from this country for assault and drug use and is trying to come back in. He said he was harmless. This was also CBS news last night.

They have their own countries and their own governments already. Maybe those young men, which make up the majority of the caravan from every picture I've seen, should work to make their lives and countries better rather than run away.

Now to be clear, I am actually in favor of expanded immigration. Simply put, our population is again and we need fresh younger blood for a variety of reasons. But not like this, with this ridiculous gimmicky nonsense that was obviously organized by someone who doesn't have our best interests at heart.

Meet Bartolo Fuentes, the Honduran ex-lawmaker who helped launch the 7,000-strong caravan marching toward the United States — on a promise he says he never made.

In September, Fuentes began ­coordinating with groups dispersed throughout Honduras seeking to make the trek north.

The initial number of people involved was about 200.

“No one expected this human avalanche,” Fuentes told the Daily Beast in an interview published Tuesday.

What changed everything was a TV report on HCH — a Honduran news channel.

A woman reportedly part of the caravan told TV anchors of Fuentes’ efforts, and she mentioned “assistance.” The anchors then supposedly said Fuentes would pay migrants’ food and transportation costs — which he denied in an interview.

Still, thousands took a chance, since a human-smuggling “coyote” charges upwards of $7,000 to take someone across the US border.

Do you know whose jobs these 7,000 people will take ? It’s not the 1%. It’s the people on the lowest rung of American society.

The elite want illegal immigration because it keeps wages low. That means higher profits for the rich.

Mark, most of our poorest would prefer to collect government benefits than to do the jobs that most illegals do. How many home grown Americans do you think pick crops in our fields? Or work at fish plants? Or work in slaughter houses? Or clean factories at night? Or...you get the picture. We give our home grown free healthcare if they earn too little, food stamps, disability payments for mental issues, and even WIC and housing assistance if there are kids involved. Maybe if we started limiting some of these goodies and foce these people into the workforce we could seriously have this conversation, but as it stands now American born kids are too soft and self entitled to do the work that many illegals now do.
mark94

It’s possible that jobs “ Americans won’t take “ are because illegals are willing to work for $10,000 per years. Without illegals, supply and demand would require salaries of $20,000 to $40,000 to fill these dirty jobs. I suspect we’d find a lot more US citizens willing to work at these wages.

That’s a big part of what Trump is trying to accomplish. More jobs and higher wages. That’s how you reduce poverty and get people off welfare.

Personally the people who hire illegal immigrants are more guilty of a crime than the illegals.....so if you really want to stop the process you do things like impose fines on people who hire them as well as on people who rent apartments to them or car dealers who sell them cars. Otherwise you make it impossible for them to live and work here around the system.

The other issue and I know this is going to make the more liberal of our posters scream but enough with the sanctuary city BS and states making up their own rules as they go along. I'd cut their federal funding so fast they'd find out what Public Sector bankruptcy looks like in a heartbeat.

@Meat: Since you're so free to cast judgement on the rest of us, I'll confess that I've always thought of you as a sort of mediocre intellect. Half the time you struggle to put together coherent sentences. Take a look at your stupid tagline and then look at yourself in the mirror. You and @Mark are perfect for each other; maybe the two of you geriatric white dudes can spend your twilight years together in a nursing home discussing your prostate issues.

On a percentage basis the caravan represents 2x10^(-7) percent of our population. They're coming here at 20 miles per day and will take about five months to get here. This is not a national emergency. The whole topic has been blown massively beyond it's importance by news outlets like Fox and Breitbart because of the midterms. Fanning the flames of racism and xenophobia is how Trump won and he's a master of manipulating stupid gullible people.

Blaming immigrants, lying, spreading propaganda, and criticising the ligitimate media are elements of fascism. Were not there yet, but it could happen. With the breaking news this morning, Soros, Bill & Hillary, and Obama have received suspicious packages recently. This is an ugly time for American politics.

And it takes away from the real issue: tax cut for corporate America that's blown nearly $800 billion dollars in the deficit. If the GOP takes both houses, expect a return to the days when insurance companies can deny for pre-existing conditions, cuts to social security, medicare, and medicaide. I suspect the older crowd here isn't really all that wealthy and will have a lot to lose.

Randumb blames Trump for fear mongering in one breath and then does the same in the very next. ;)

Randumb, the odds of most of that happening, even if the Republicans retake both chambers, are extremely low. Keep in mind that Republicans needs votes too and doing things like cutting benefits to the elderly won't fly for many of them.

What would be nice, however, is for more people who are milking free and heavily subsidized healthcare to be encouraged to re-enter the workforce. One of the under-told stories about Obamacare is how many people retired early, voluntarily reducing their income in the process, and then picked up health insurance for little to nothing. The incentive to pick up employer-based insurance used to be a powerful motivator to keep people in the workforce and we could definitely use it again if our labor force participation rates are any indication.

We'll see. I'd say the complete repeal of Obamacare (insurance companies allowed to deny coverage) would be a certainty, and McConnell has been talking about cuts to entitlements. You'd think that cuts to entitlements would be a death knell for the GOP, but they'll argue that it's needed because of the deficit -- you know the deficit they helped create with corporate tax cuts.

I have a a working spouse and double-coveraged with medical. Just curious: what would you do if you got sick and couldn't get health insurance because of a pre-existing condition? Don't you have a stay-at-home spouse? Isn't it worth improving on Obamacare incrementally?

Wow 25 that desert comment was so ignorant it made me think of Random. We have water where I live. FACT - if Europe paid what they agreed to by treaty with Nato and no American troops were in Europe, thus requiring them to defend themselves, not one of those failed lands would have socialized medicine. Socialism only works when you have capitalists to pay for it. Europe is a welfare leech and every taxpayer here is paying for their healthcare, not them.
The wall won't work. I mean Israelis were subject to 4-5 terrorist attacks emanating from the West Bank and since they built the wall a few years ago there have been none and that proves that walls don't work, except that they do. I'd be happy to just lay down some mines.
Wah wah wah seven thousand destitute failures who will create about 50,000 residents here in 25 years who the American taxpayer will support. They will never assimilate, learn the language or contribute. They will create anchor babies and extended families will also come here on visa'a and then stay here illegally. Lets see almost 50 million immigrants since 1990 and people wonder why this is a country sliding into poverty. Any of you lefties who have kids are child abusers.

Since we've somehow morphed into Health Care ( although I admit from the cost of illegal immigration impacting HC I am the one that brought it up) I'm curious and have been for a month now. Has anyone on here seen an increase in their premiums this year? Yes or no. This is the first year in a decade mine have not increased at all and after the last ten years of watching them rise each year, some years for no reason that I can tell, this year not a word---the monthly bill has remained flat.
Dominic77
6 years ago
@Warenboy75: Mine increased this year (almost $1K), after 3 years of decreases (around $2K). I'm on a high Deductible Healthcare Plan HDHP with Medical Savings account (HSA(MSA)). Most of that was due to HR switching carriers, and lowering the deductible from something astronomical ($6700/ea $13K couple) to $3700 -- which I'd rather NOT have. I like the higher deductible with lower premiums. Then I just negotiate the cash price / self-pay price for everything and pay with my MSA debit card. I usually pay less than $1000/yr out of pocket on the card, so a MSA that deposit $36/wk pre-tax into works well for the two of us. I have several thousand dollars banked in there now. Other than getting cancer, I'm not sure what good the insurance premiums are. I use the debit card for everything.

The HDHP costs about $3500/yr less than PPO or HMO options. First year it was a $936 less, which was why I started with the $36/biweekly deposits.

Dominic77

maybe we had shitty insurance offered where I worked. but annual wellness exam physical, MD wants $200-220. Which is what an uninsured person gets. But bill to insurance is $60. Same as self pay or cash pay. I can do that. No reason to pay hundreds every 2 weeks (my portion) or $1500 employer portion, between $10K and $20K in yearly premiums to get that. For just 2 annual physicals.

Same if I get the sniffles or get "sick" and see a doctor or urgent care provider. They want $300-330 rate, on PPO my portion after co-pay was still $150, about half. I can negotiate that rate, or at least $30 less if not more discount, by just talking with the staff and seeing what a cash rate / self pay / let's settle the amount today, what will you take / etc. See what I mean?

Same with with my wife's dental work. Even after settling and seeing what the insurance co would cover, versus me self pay the portion I'm liable for, there was still $75 balance, which after self paying a few hundred, they just canceled or forgave it. Versus what the PPO and "enhanced" dental plan was saying 3+ years ago. For years my wife didn't want to go because costs$$$. But now with my banked balance on the MSA, and realizing it wouldn't put is in the poor house, I got her to go to the dentist again, finally.

I guess maybe I'm not being fair for what my thousands or tens of thousands in premiums each year to medical/dental/vision are really doing. But I'm not sure I'm getting $18K/year in value from it that it costs. That's why I mention cancer. I feel like I could just literally self pay everything and almost always come out ahead.

That's what I don't understand about your MRI and skibum's MRI and why you guys pay so little out of pocket. Or anything else with surgeons or specialists. My experience was I was still paying 50% myself on PPO as you'd go, wait 60 days, see the kick back from insurance for deductibles, co-insurance, etc. It got to be even with PPO it was covering less and less each year. Unless I'm looking at it wrong.

Here’s an example of bias. CNN has been referring to the people/entities who received the “bombs” as “Trump targets”. Every story on CNN has as its premise “ Trump is evil, therefore he caused this to happen”.

Hurricanes. Trump’s fault. Immigrant caravan. Trump’s fault. Murder in Turkey. Trump’s fault. Stock market drops. Trump’s fault. Amateur pipe bombs. Trump’s fault. On and on and on.

I actually seldom watch Fox News. I get most of my information from about a dozen blogs across the political spectrum.

^ youre wasting your time with these hyper hysterical extreme right wingnuts, there’s no rational use in telling them anything true. If it doesn’t come from Alex Jones or Steve Bannion, they won’t believe it so, why bother. They’re already putting out conspiracy stories about the bombing, (Lou Dobbs this morning) refusing to recognize an assasination attempt against two ex presidents so, save yourself some energy.

Why do I care who is behind it? Assuming anyone actually is in the sense the OP seems to be implying.

I mean, I already know what to *do* about it.
