What should be done about the caravan of people coming to the U.S.

[Carsman]

Trump is now telling troops to shoot if they are throwing rocks at the military.

If someone gets shot down there, I don't think it will be an immigrant, it will probably be one of those crackpot hick militiamen who don't know how to act. I really don't think our military will break the law. There has been some analysis done and our defense officials do not believe there are terrorists or other national security threats within the migrant caravan.

I didn't know our defense officials were clairvoyant.

I didn't know our defense officials were clairvoyant.

Why do you think they sit in DC and make their determinations?

I trust our defense officials to assess national security threats.  That's their job and they're damn good at it.  Their assessments are not based on clairvoyance.  Their assessments are based on experience, trends and intelligence.

And, I trust that our Justice Department and Law Enforcement leaders fully understand the laws of our country.  Both Jeff Sessions (Attorney General of the United States),  and Kirstjen Nielsen (Director of Homeland Security) have authority over immigration policing agencies, Border Patrol and ICE.

Sessions and Nielsen told the nation just a couple months back that caravan migrants who cross the U.S. border illegally (outside of authorized border ports) will be criminally prosecuted when they introduced the  'zero tolerance' policy.  

They both advised migrants to instead do it the right way, the legal way, by applying for asylum at authorized ports of entry (though there was a long queue and some of the ports were closed).  Migrants who apply for asylum legally are detained for processing/screening, not sent to criminal facilities for prosecution.

Do you really think the DO's can accurately assess the possible threats of supposedly "thousands" of the migrants heading
 this way? Without even seeing them in person or getting to talk to them (certainly not vetting them) if that's not clairvoyance, what is? "Trends", possible terrorists don't have to be a genius to think outside the box! So much for trends!
