LETTER TO THE EDITOR / THE FAKE CARAVAN THREAT
Roger C. Kostmayer
The White House is pushing a cynical fear campaign designed to produce anger and votes (while increasing the risk of domestic violence). This political campaign is devoid of truth or facts.
One of this campaign’s successes is the little old ladies in Minnesota who are terrified that hordes of brown foreigners are rushing to invade summer lake cottages near them. And uninformed voters applaud the President’s, expensive and inappropriate, ordering 5,000 US military forces to our Southern border to stop a fictitious invasion.
The fact is that desperate Latin American women, children and families are fleeing the threat of murder, rape and gangs. Most seek legal asylum and safety in the us or elsewhere. Escapees have learned that traveling on foot alone is dangerous and makes them easy prey. They now tend to band together for protection. There is NO evidence that these victims are funded by Mr. Soros, Jewish bankers or anyone else; nor is there any evidence that the caravan is full of either “Middle Eastern terrorists” or blood thirsty gangs.
The caravan now has less than 5,000 walkers and is shrinking as time and miles go by. Their pace is slow, the heat is debilitating and rest days are frequent. Reportedly, they are 900 miles from the US border. These facts combine to suggest that it will be 2019 before several thousand exhausted immigrants reach a customs facility, apply for asylum or other status, and are processed.
The conclusion is obvious. This hateful White House campaign isn’t about illegal immigration, the rule of law, or a dangerous invasion. It is about fear, lies, hate and a shrewd attempt to con the American people in order to get votes on November 6.

TRUMP will have my vote forever and if HE ever decided to remove people like Kostmayer, I would help him tie the rope! Kostmayer, you are o9ne very ill person!
If you like this country, keep it. If you don’t, move to your Utopian heaven~!
Meanwhile, stop your biased spin and liberal demagoguery. I saw the enemy and the enemy is you.
Here are the top 5 countries that offer rather quick paths to citizenship:
Macedonia is 1 year, Dominican Republic 2yrs?, Urauguay 2yrs?, Paraguay 2yrs? and Russia is 3 years.
Go for it…oh I forgot. You will probably meet a lot of Hollywood luminaries who promised to depart the USA when Pres Trump took office. Like being back in the former USA.
Kostmayer, you are really out there! Are you a Card Carrying Member or what? You need help!
“The fact is that desperate Latin American women, children and families are fleeing the threat of murder, rape and gangs.”
I recommend the Walking Caravan Club relocate to US safe cities like St. Louis, Missouri; Baltimore, MD; Detroit, MI; Stockton, CA.
The FBI lists them in the top 10 most crime ridden in 2017.
Hey maybe residents of the top 10 crime cities go and takeover Honduras or El Salvador. I bet DelMonte would sponsor that trip!
“This political campaign is devoid of truth or facts.”
If Hilary was President, she truthfully and factually could better explain the caravan moving north…something about an inflammatory Internet video or whatever causing this.
“Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.” Clinton 9/11 Benghazi
“it will be 2019 before several thousand exhausted immigrants reach a customs facility, apply for asylum or other status, and are processed.”
By then 15,000 US soldiers will meet them. The soldiers are from engineering battalions mostly with some from aviation.
Pres Trump is brilliant as “the wall” is not coming from the general budget but from the military under “force protection”. To “protect the deployed troops”, there will be walls and berms and razor wire (just like in Iraq and Afghan and Israel). This will prevent entry into the USA by the ‘exhausted immigrants’ who will be stuck on the Mexican side unable to “reach a customs facility, apply for asylum or other status, and are processed.”
They are already building/installing T-Walls (from my experience just like in Iraq and Afghan and Israel; interlinked prefab sections about 14 ft tall, 4 feet wide and about a foot thick). Hard to get over when you “are exhausted”.
Guy Love Ya buddy But I agree America is well on the way to being great again. Notice almost all comments are markedly pro Trump? Wake up! Americans are awake and we are PISSED off. The Red Wave is gonna be a reality in a few days buddy Then Its on. With a house senate and quite possibly super Majority. We can quickly repair the damage Obama caused.
