Look to Gaza. My latest in FrontPage:
President Trump has put the thousands who are advancing to the U.S. border on notice: “To those in the Caravan, turnaround, we are not letting people into the United States illegally. Go back to your Country and if you want, apply for citizenship like millions of others are doing!” But there is no chance that they will heed his words. They will continue to advance inexorably toward the United States, and what will happen when they get here? A likely answer to that comes from the recent border protests in Gaza.
The Jerusalem Post reported last May: “Some 40,000 Palestinians took part in violent demonstrations at 13 different locations along the fence, throwing stones, explosive devices and Molotov cocktails at the fence and IDF troops, as well as burning tires and launching burning objects such as kites with charcoal or containers of burning fuel with the intention of setting fires in Israeli fields, the IDF said.”
This was a Hamas operation. That same month, Aaron Klein reported in Breitbart: “Hamas, desperate over its increasingly precarious situation in Gaza and eager to please Iranian paymasters, has escalated the premeditated, openly violent campaign aimed at breaching the Israel-Gaza border and attacking nearby Israeli communities.” And Hamas official Salah Bardawil admitted at that time: “In the last rounds of confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas.” IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus noted: “This proves what so many have tried to ignore: Hamas is behind these riots, and the branding of the riots as ‘peaceful protests’ could not be further from the truth.”
Indeed. But Klein’s observation was correct: “This while the news media hypes Hamas-provided casualty counts and portrays the Gaza rioters as peaceful protesters frustrated that there is no Palestinian state and angry that the U.S. moved its embassy to Jerusalem. In doing so, the news media are actually advancing Hamas’s cause.”
Predictably, the UN sided with Hamas against Israel. World Israel News reported in June: “The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Wednesday rejected a US motion against Hamas, but affirmed a Palestinian-led initiative against Israel that condemned the Jewish state for the actions it took to prevent thousands of Gazans from overrunning its border fence.”
So what will happen when the migrant caravan reaches the U.S.? It is likely that caravan organizers are working from the Gaza playbook, and hoping that something very similar will happen. American troops will deny the migrants entry into the United States, leading to photogenic incidents that will be spread throughout the world as evidence of the brutality and inhumanity of the Trump regime.
“Incidents” are not likely all that the globalists who are sponsoring this migrant caravan are hoping for. They are almost certainly hoping that the confrontations will get ugly and even violent, and that outrage over them will fuel Democrat midterm victories – although if they do, it will be because the migrants, not the military, made it so. Nonetheless, in the media, all the onus will be on Trump.
It’s a lose-lose situation. Even if the military handles the migrants with kid gloves and no one gets so much as a hangnail, the establishment media will portray the American soldiers who are stopping the caravan as redneck thugs, mindlessly operating on the orders of the racist bigot in the White House. And if the migrants are not stopped, and enter the country, the same media will howl that Trump has not kept his word, and cannot be trusted.
The overall idea is to create one more splash of shrill, hysterical negative publicity for Trump and the Republicans before the midterms – and as you read this, trucks are carrying these supposedly pedestrian migrants toward the border in time to influence the elections. Whatever happens, the sinister forces behind the caravan know that the media can be relied upon to spin it in the direction they favor, just as it did in Gaza. Will the UN also condemn Trump for his treatment of the caravan? Bank on it.
Janakiraman Rajalakshmi says
The media infested with leftists has always been anti Trump. Hence Trump should ignore them. Refuse to answer their questions. If Trump caves in letting them enter , it is Americans who have to brace themselves for further misery. More taxes to pamper the parasites.
One cannot please all as shown in the story of a Father , his Son & their Donkey.
Media is so virulently anti Trump I prefer watching cookery shows. And Hollywood movies.
andra says
But even Hollywood movies are anti-Trump and pro mass migration.
Janakiraman Rajalakshmi says
I watch them as I have always liked watching them. I like Hollywood actors , actresses , music score etc etc.The movies have something called a plot & it is a whole package for me. Far superior to idiotic Indian movies.
Most of the indian movies are a mish mash of various Hollywood movies , plagiarizations of Japanese , Iranian & so on.
Recently I watched Red Sparrow ( Jennifer Lawrence). Only then I understood how dangerous communism is.
From my youth I have never considered money spent on watching English movies a waste.
Be it Hitchcock movies , Godfather trilogy , Fish Called Wanda etc – I have liked them all very much.
Peggy says

=======================
I haven’t seen the movie and certainly won’t be seeing because of the snowflake J Lawrence but you really can’t get a real picture of what anything is by watching a Hollywood movie.
What should happen when the caravan reaches the border is exactly what should happen when any other enemy reaches your gates.
I know there will be a small number of women and children in there for the protection of the invaders (all cowards hide behind women and children) and if there’s a way to separate them they should but what needs to be done, needs to be done.
Americans have to think of their own women and children first.

Hello Andra – the solution – for those times when you need to get away from the news and to re-charge your mental batteries is, of course, to watch old films instead – get busy on eBay.
I don’t know if there is much nostalgia in Germany for b/w films from the past ? but here in Britain we are fortunate enough to have one channel – “Talking Pictures TV” on Channel 81 – that specialises in showing nothing but old films, and it’s like food for the soul.
Just watched that excellent gangster-film “No Orchids For Miss Blandish” – (which even included a period entertainer doing his comic impersonations of both Peter Lorre AND Sydney Greenstreet – you won’t find THAT in any rubbishy modern all-CGI-and-no-storyline-film…) and even the criminals are smartly-dressed….sigh……

@Phil Copson ,
You are right. Old movies are far better . In my childhood I have read ”No Orchids For Miss Blandish ” & “The Flesh of The Orchid” both by James Hadley Chase.
I liked reading James Hadley Chase as it always had ”poetic justice” delivered . And very neat. Very readable.

Andy, my husband has written about film. It is a fascinating subject. I love many movies from every era, but the 1940s may be my favorite period.
Andy says
Hi Grave, Wow that’s great that your hubbie also has the movie bug!
I love movies that have a moral uplifting story that will elevate a person into being a better human being in our world in which we find ourselves in.
Frank Capra stories come to mind as well as many others, we have enough BAD news everyday I’m afraid. We need some good uplifting stories now more than ever!
I leave you with the primary host of TCM, who sadly passed away more than a year ago.

If the Americans are aware of what is happening in Europe right now they can only pray for Trump to close the borders. Otherwise the US will become a sh*thole country much faster than you can say this word, because more caravans would follow each day.

mummymovie says
Absolutely, on all points:
Protests will spring up, and the media will begin its “oppressor-vs.-oppressed” narrative spin.
With many of these model parents having brought their children along for full tear-jerking effect, offering them up as props for the melodrama that will play out and that they will try to play up as much as possible, there will be very few options with regard to handling this effectively without looking like heartless, Goliathian, tyrants.
This is all being coordinated with American lefties and the media, and is being scripted like a full Wag-the-Dog-style Hollywood (nearby) production, for full dramatic effect. It is also being coordinated as a military-style operation with the thousands already lurking at the border, and languishing in border cities, waiting for an opportunity to cross into the U.S., including -yes- Africans and “Middle Easterners” (I have seen them there with my own eyes), many times d whom could be jihadis, or jihad-minded.
And yes, they have absolutely been watching and learning from what the “palestinians” are doing in Gaza. They have also been emoboldened and inspired by the Africans and Middle Eastern migrants invading Europe and the continued mass northward migration of all of these people into the European continent; hence the whole idea for the caravanS in the first place.
If they have some measured degree of success at their objectives, you can count on this type of activity to continue for some time. This will seem to play out endlessly, and these caravans may not stop for quite some time.
Ugly stuff. Desperation is in the air. They will stop at nothing.
mummymovie says
And just watch those “caravan” numbers go up to 15k+ or even 20k, when the horde joins up with those already at the border.
To hell with the enemedia’s scoffing dismissal and ridicule: This is serious.
gravenimage says
And if this caravan were let in, can you imagine how many more it would inspire? It would be open season.
Logic&Reason says
The leftists and their complicit bullhorn media are 100% responsible for any violence that occurs.
They’ll aid and transport the “caravasion” all the way to the border….then abandon them to maximize their misery. Manufactured humanitarian outcry…women and children getting the focus.
Expendable pawns.
It also wouldn’t surprise me if the “organizers” supply the invaders with weaponry of some kind before they hightail it out of harm’s way.
And they say Trump is evil! Ha!
WPM says
Let the Hollywood elites, libtarts from colleges volunteer to cross over into Mexico to man soup kitchens and feed, cloth and make this unruly mob feel loved. They would sh*t their pants if they had to confront and manger these large groups of illegal interlopers ready to commit violence to enter our country. If someone is trying to break into your personal home you can lock the door, if they break in you can defend it by force if necessary that should be a human right ? Many people have to wait years to become American citizens that come here and get legal green cards ,work on the books, obey our laws, why should law breakers go to the front of the line? I have a sister in law who came her from the Philippines college educated ,spoke English, work a good job on the books ,obey all our laws, payed taxes it took her a good 3 years to become a citizen here. All she would have to do is go to Mexico jump a fence work off the books for a few years have an anchor baby ,no back ground check, no worry about our laws she is a citizen is this the formula for our road to citizenship?
Michael Copeland says
“When the Philadelphia County Court held its first session on 11 January 1683 seventeen Swedish settlers presented themselves and asked for the rights and privileges of citizenship.
……… They swore allegiance to the king of England and obedience to WP [William Penn] as governor and paid a fee of twenty shillings sterling. By doing so they received the same rights as their English-born neighbors.”
From “William Penn and the Founding of Pennsylvania: A Documentary History”, edited by Jean A. Soderlund, 1983.
A good model to follow.

Dawne says
Trump is clever. Hopefully he will authorise his troops to use (say) tear gas and let the migrants reduce themselves to attack/riot. How on earth could this be spun in favour of the migrants by the MSM? It might be “better” if the migrants do have petrol bombs to throw – the majority of the US public might see the light then.
Logic&Reason says
I think it only logical that the organizers who lied to, paid, and transported this illegal-entry tidal wave will also ensure weaponry of some sort is distributed.
Got to maximize the drama for the cameras.
What a mess.
Logic&Reason says
Of course, the lamestream media will say, “These refugees have no choice but to fight the oppressive Trump border guard. We also have sources telling us that Trump’s evil ICE brigade will move in soon and separate all the parents and children.”

They will have the women and children in the front line. Therefore, no can do.

Richard says
Yes, unless our troops carry the illegals across the border on their shoulders, stopping them will be denounced by the entire world, but 14,000 illegals is the same as a division of soldiers, and it is literally an invasion, because the whole point of any invasion is to occupy another nation’s territory with as few casualties as possible. Is that not what these people are doing? I would like to see our troops open up on them with shotgun shells of rock salt, but that will never happen. Indeed, if we do not await until they are on our territory, anything we do to them can legally be considered attacking Mexico’s territory. It is insanity.
R Russell says
Start with the water canons. If they don’t work, tear gas, rubber bullets etc. The world will rage. Who cares
PRCS says
One significant difference between the Gaza Gang and the invaders to the south of us.
The Gaza homies are on their own sand.
The Caravan Crowd would be conducting such activity on Mexican soil.
Mexico. Rock. Hard spot.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, this invasion of illegal migrants is being launched from Mexican soil and should be considered the same as an invasion of the U.S. by Mexico.
PRCS says
Yes, and should these “refugees” launch an assault, on our Southern border from within the Mexican nation, they will have a decision to make.
Prevent it.
Make it look as though they’re trying to prevent it.
Do nothing.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think so far all they have done is offer to allow some of the migrants to apply for Mexican citizenship ……. after which they can join the other Mexicans who cross the U.S. border illegally. So I guess that would fall under the category of making it look like they are trying to do something.

Mexico is basically doing nothing.

Older Canadian says
This caravan is a test run.
It us well known the USA will not be signing the UN Immigration Pact in December.
Trump has to stop them. This time the numbers reported range from 4,000 to 14,000, you pick the actual number.
If he allows them in, the next time, and there will be a next time, it will be a green light for another caravan which will be double or triple in size.
The population south of the USA is huge, and it would be extremely naive to think at least 100 million are currently considering making this trip. Wouldn’t you if you lived in Central or South America.
A country without borders is not a country.
A country cannot have a “third party” tell them who, how and when regarding their laws that are in place to protect the country and its citizens.
All must respect the rule of law in a country regarding immigration. Period! Of course the word respect has no meaning in the 21st century.
gravenimage says
If they aren’t stopped now, there will be many, many more of these caravans.
Dutch says
Assuming a mob of 10,000 marchers, I think around 3/4 will scatter before the caravan reaches the border. Those 3/4 will be mostly men, crossing the border in small, hard-to-detect groups, stretching the border patrol thin. Meanwhile the remainder of the mob, including most of the women and children will serve to draw the focus of the media, authorities, NGOs etc., providing a distraction from the invasion happening elsewhere.
gravenimage says
Sounds grimly likely.
Fatts says
Those who have read the 1973 novel, The Camp of the Saints, know it isn’t just Western Europe that gets over run, the people from the south over run the U.S. as well.
We must make sure this book, which some consider prophetic, remains fiction at least as far as our southwestern border is concerned.
This invasion MUST BE TURNED BACK. Turned back by whatever means are needed.
We must take pride in our border and protect it.

Walter Sieruk says
As for the question “What may we expect when the migrant caravens reach the Mexican/American borders?” One answer is that we may expect to have much chaos and mayhem at the border, if not worse.
In addition, porous borders Mexico have enabled ISIS and Al Qaeda operatives as well as jihadists of other like-minded Islamic terror entities to infiltrate into the United States. Furthermore, illegal immigration from Mexico is dangerous because of crime by gangs of hooligans who enter the US through pours borders with Mexico. As for example, the gang of thugs called MS-13 who originated in El Salvador the come into America through Mexico. Those gangsters commit crimes as murders, rapes, drug dealing. They are also known, for a price, to smuggle jihadists of Al Qaeda in America. In addition, to all this, with illegal immigration also comes higher welfare cost and an increased chances of the spread of contagious diseases, such as TB. Furthermore, with more illegal come more environmental degradation and more urban sprawl. Therefore, there is a great need for a good for a good border control system with a strong tall wall that’s patrolled by armed American military soldiers who may be allowed to use their guns if they deem it necessary. Along with a good filtering system to let in to the United States only good decent hard working people with visas and not and not gangsters and jihadists. In conclusion all the above may be summed up by the wisdom found in the words of Ronald Reagan when he as, so well, stated “A nation without borders is not a nation.”

Hopefully not a Mexican standoff..
Maybe a Mexican wave.
Guy Forester says
There is some very interesting speculation running around on the internet. Unfortunately, it does not sound very encouraging. In order to keep this short, I will try to distill it down. In conclusion, I hope I am wrong and this turns out to be a big fizzle.
1. The marchers are not marching, and are getting lots of rides, some even commandeered by the Mexican police and ordered to transport the marchers.
2. The marchers are a diversion
3. There are many, many more ready and waiting and already at the border to join in a bum rush to overwhelm the border
4. Criminals and terrorists are waiting to join the caravans to get in, and they have arms already available
5. This will be timed to disrupt our elections
6. There will be a number of sympathizers already in the US that will act, perhaps even with violence, to interfere with the response to the invaders
I hope Trump has really good legal, police, and military counsel. There are enough executive orders already in place to cover just about everything from space alien invasions to a shortage of shoe polish, so he should have ample authority to act. He needs to be ready to go straight to the supreme court to quash immediately any lower court attempts to stop his border actions. Basically, he needs to put the entire border area under some form of martial law.
Expect the following:
1. Women, children, elderly, and useful idiots will be pushed to the front of the mass attempting to storm the border
2. Paid provocateurs will hurl rocks, fireworks, feces, urine, acid, and various other nasty and dangerous things at ICE/Police/Military with a goal of inciting a rather violent response
3. Paid shills, also known as the MSM, will be there to show valiant resistors and innocents getting clobbered, but failing to show the rebar, rocks, and Molotov cocktails hurled at ICE. What the hell, it worked at Kent state! Why not now?

All grimly likely.
The European says
Don’t be afraid of bad press, the leftard media is lying anyway, and their lies will be exposed.Law and morality are on your side; they are not migrants, but invaders who try to force their way into the US. To repel them is simply self-defense. If you use force, use it intelligently and proportionately.
Go after their globalist paymasters,they have declared war on the American nation-state, arrest them, put them on trial, eliminate them if they turn violent, and make sure that there will be enough journalists at the border who are not hostile to Trump and who have the guts to tell the truth to the world.
Kesselman says
The menace is the monopoly of the MSM. The Globalist Liberals’ agenda, which is to provide power for the very few, has reached nearly universal approval. Not consciously but subliminal so to speak. The Globalists worldview dominates all strands of society – and their very effective weapon is the buzz-word ‘climate change.’ Just to distort any meaningful political discourse.

This top secret tear gas, approved by everyone, composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen – hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans, which contain sulfur added for maximum effect.
That should do the job and chase all caravans away.
Richard Courtemanche says
Don’t think the Honduran invasion will get the rear support, i.e. water, food, etc…, that those in Gaza are able to get.
Trump should get the public support to do what necessary to stop them. It’d be worst if he failed.
c matt says
Not sure this is a clear cut lose-lose for Trump. It also risks a lose-lose for Dems and other traitors. If the Caravaners make it through – which will require some violence – it runs the risk of waking up and turning normies against the Dems. If Trump stops them, even if it involves bad “optics”, the media will howl, but most normies will silently breathe a sigh of relief. And even if publicly they denounce Trump’s actions, in the secrecy of the voting booth they may want to ensure continued security.
Problem for the Dems aka traitors is that they live in bubbles and rarely get out among real human beings. They think everyone else sees things the way El Lay, San Fran, NYC and DC see things.

Of course the invaders are being financed by American communists. What group has money in South America, other than drug cartels, to finance thousands of invaders.
If we let them in what will we do with the next “caravan”?. Invasion must be stopped now. We should send the army to Mexico and turn them around without them coming to our borders.
Whatever happens they will blame Trump anyhow. So support Trump to stop the invasion!
