Utopia Talk / Politics / Trump Makes A Rule for Central America

Revved Up | Thu Oct 18 02:43:24 A large Mob of Nicaraguans are now marching thru Mexico, with transit passes, towards The United States. If they reach here we will have to take them in according to the law. Trump tells Nicaragua to stop them and bring them back home or he will cut off their foreign aid effective immediately. He later added Honduras and Costa Rica to the list. Not sure if he meant this mob or future mobs. |

Member | Thu Oct 18 04:16:14 These types of events is why the administration proposed paying Mexico to deport illegal immigrants. Instead of letting them get to the US where we have to deal with them and it would cost a lot more we would pay Mexico to detain them and/or send them back to their own countries. They would be picked up in Southern Mexico. If they wanted to enter the US legally they could go to one of the US consulates located in Southern Mexico and apply. |

Member | Thu Oct 18 08:34:37 I wonder how much of these is pre-midterm posturing, and how much of it is actually serious. Its also meaningless too. The kind of military deployment that would be required to physically close the US Mexico-Border would require congressional authorization. |

Member | Thu Oct 18 09:02:15 That would also require congressional authorization. |

large member | Thu Oct 18 10:29:20 Aeros After the fact authorization. Which means automatic authorization under current conditions. Funny you leapt to legalities as it would also involve invading and occupying parts of Mexico. |
Aeros
Member | Thu Oct 18 10:58:09 Somehow I doubt even Trump could get away with invading Mexico and then asking for permission later. The whole "clear and present danger" rule has often been twisted into a Pretzel, but there is no immediate threat from Mexico that he could point too that would necessitate not spending a couple days to check with Congress first. |

Revved Up | Thu Oct 18 11:00:09 Not if we have Mexico's blessing. The biggest problem I see is getting imbroled with the cartels and that might not be so bad. |

Member | Thu Oct 18 15:58:29 When President Obama deployed the national guard all they could do was provide surveillance along the border. They were not allowed to be armed nor could they engage people crossing the border. In the end it cost over $6,000 (I think that was the cost not 100% sure) for every illegal immigrant that was apprehended during that time. President Trump should learn from that and not make the same mistake. Send a request to congress and let them kill the idea. |

the wanderer | Thu Oct 18 21:43:20 "President Trump should learn from that and not make the same mistake" he already threatened to send the military to the border before, which ended up being the National Guard because he wasn't allowed to use the military, and they ended up not being allowed to do much Trump is not a learner |

Revved Up | Sat Oct 20 18:29:35 No. The way my insurance works is I draw on my insurance from the day my payments end and the benefit lasts until death. You really don't know too much about America, do you? Do you? |
