I had a conversation with one of my dad's friends' today and I don't think he was
ready for my views on the current immigration situation going on in Tijuana out by San Diego. Having to do with the caravan seeking to come into America that
arrived at the border.
His point was that the mexican caravan had won because they are getting into America. He was sort of gloating as to how they made Trump back off and just give in. No wall or racist president was able to deter them.
I, on the other hand, told him Trump won. When I said it he of course laughed at me and begged for me to explain my "false" truth.
The whole point of the caravan was the intention of them to enter through illegally, with no process, no papers, no permission. Just walk through, climb over, rush the checkpoint or what ever it took to get to the United States. On the state side of the border you had pro-illegal immigration groups encouraging and offering to help those that wanted to forgo the proper immigration process.
Well gues what, Trump headed them off at the border by sending extra immigration personnel to vet the people in the caravan and to aide them in crossing into the United States legally ! So what ended up happening was that they had to go through a process, not what pro-illegal immigration activist wanted them to do. Trump had always said the way in is to do it legally and by the immigration laws of America, which is what is happening.
The activist groups arent as vocal right now. Lots of the caravan have been allowed through with proper paperwork to live and work in the U.S. Court hearings have been scheduled for their immigration cases. None of this is what the activist wanted. It's being done legally and with help from . . . TRUMP !
Trump won.
He was a little deflated but he was still trying to convince himself that it didnt matter how they got in, but that they got in. But like I said, "Not illegally, but legally as to how Trump said it had to be."
And then we had a discussion on the whole flat earth subject, but thats another story for another day.

That means all he wanted is for them to be legal and not illegal aliens in the country.

@Plethos so it just shows he's into doing things orderly and in the right way I supposed.There's nothing wrong with protecting the interest of your own.

@Plethos I fully agree that illegal immigrants are a problem. In Europe Germany allowed immigrants to come inside from Africa, asking to all the EU countries to accept them. Italy and Greece (being the closest to Africa) are now invaded and it's a real problem.

That's good, I think people who live between the boarder will have peace now, as Trump is doing something to make everything fine and easy. I remember the first time that America put a boarder in it and a lot of people are in rage, I ws still young then. But I hope this time everything will be fine.

Screening is very important. My husband's family had to claim refugee status after WW2 but couldn't get into the USA because of immigration quotas from eastern Europe. The US didn't want to import Communists. So Hubby's family stayed in a refugee camp, in Austria and helped screen other refugees from their country. Then a Communist falsely accused them of being Communists themselves. They proved they weren't and then their immigration to Canada was expedited.
Five years later they emigrated here as Canadian citizens, which they had become by then. I watched on the day when they became US citizens in a Los Angeles courthouse. They all assimilated very well, but it was really hard for my husband's father to regain his Architecture license by taking the test in English. It took him many years of working as a draftsman to finally be able to work in his profession again.

@Plethos Exactly. My husband couldn't just walk across the border.His family had to wait in line and come legally. They really were refugees, and they were happy that Canada took them. Then they waited in Canada and came to America as Canadian citizens.

this is why i say its not the regular people coming across looking for an opportunity that americans have a problem against. its the ones who are already criminals in mexico looking ot continue that career here in the states.
i live near the border, ive seen the immigrants plight. the ones that succeed are the ones that assimilate s.a.p.!
like my dad once said,"I went and got my legal papers to work here(u.s.a.), why cant they?"
