DC Better Stop The Invasion Or All Bets Are Off

Guest Post by Ol’ Remus  /  The Burning Platform

Thousands—the number keeps changing—of Hondurans, et al, have marched into Mexico intending to enter the US as refugees with their national flags at the fore. Mexico attempted to stop them by handing out 45-day visitor permits and providing police protection. Material assistance is coming from locals, the International Red Cross and other NGOs. Cash handouts have been recorded on video. The Spoor of Soros hangs heavy in the air.

Compared to the tens of millions of illegal squatters already here, a few thousand more is trivial. But this march looks too much like the invasion it’s always been. Perhaps we’re to believe it was mere chance several thousand people decided, on the same day, to walk from Central America to the US border. Or we could believe the ‘caravan’ was created and coached to influence the mid-term elections.

It’s a gamble. Those who organized and support this invasion army have created a very visible clog in an otherwise permeable membrane. If they get the optics they’re trying for, real action to control the border may rise to the top of the list. Hah! I can’t believe I said that.

For the record, on Wednesday the 17th, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said,

For those attempting to illegally enter as part of any ‘caravan’, please know we will enforce our border security laws and that the United States will use every available measure to prevent your illegal entry

Yeah right. We’re entertained, are we not? How shall they parse this? What “available measure” shall we believe Ms Nielsen is considering other than more of the same spineless capitulation and weasel words and promises? Lethal force? Batons and tear gas? Fat chance. As always, it’ll be resettlement with all expenses paid and apologies for any inconvenience.

When DC fails to turn them back it will make an irrefutable fact obvious to all: DC won’t protect the border, hasn’t protected the border, and never will protect the border, which is criminal dereliction if not purposeful betrayal*. This is not a victimless crime. Decades of mass infiltration have created another set of refugees, namely, displaced legal residents of the, formerly our, southwestern states. Because that’s what invasions do.

The media is already sentimentalizing this ‘caravan’—the word they’re looking for is ‘army’—as pitiable victims whose hope for a better life is about to be crushed by heartless guys in uniform. But that’s the whole point, Sparky. Car thieves just want a better life too.

Enough theatre. DC should either step up and do the job or step aside for those who will. A five thousand-strong column of self-supplied volunteers could be assembled in an afternoon and as many more as is needed thereafter. Swear them in, slink away and be amazed.

As for the “refugees”, they’re mostly military age men, fit and well fed. They found their way here, they can find their way back. The families they left behind need them. We don’t.

I’ll end this with a thought from Francis Porretto at Liberty’s Torch:

Americans legally within the borders of the United States possess a right to life that the police cannot arbitrarily override. That’s not the case for persons attempting to invade our country against our laws and the laws of civilized nations generally.
