'USA, here we come!'
As an ever-growing migrant caravan approaches the United States border from Central America, liberals and conservatives naturally disagree on what to do once they arrive.
Open-border liberals typically want to simply let them in, no strings attached, although many aren't saying it too loudly right now for fear of losing midterm voters. Conservatives on the other hand, while generally opposed and in the process of enjoying a PR spike driven by images of countless mostly military-age males marching toward our border carrying - invasion-style - from the countries they just left, are at a loss at what to do once this mass of people actually hits the United States-Mexico border in a few weeks.
To make matters worse regarding how the United States public views this migrant caravan, the vast majority of migrants reportedly just
turned down Mexico's offer to grant refugee status that would have provided jobs, schooling, shelter, and medical care.
"Our goal is not to remain in Mexico," Oscar Sosa of Honduras told reporters in what is a typical response. "Our goal is to make it to the (United States)."
Of course, the "jobs" part might have been a stickler. Interestingly, under Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's "You Are In Your Home"
program, migrants would have been required to work in various areas of that nation's infrastructure repair in order to obtain the "freebies" Mexico was offering.
Not so in the United States, where the freebies must seem as vast and unending as the Kansas prairie must have seemed to an 1840s wagon train.
So, how should our government respond to this latest invasion?
