So where do we stand on the group of people traveling north to America ?

A country has the right to close its own boarders .
And if you have thousands that claim to be getting away from bad governments / etc ......fix it.
Are we required to let them in ?
The wall ...... for everyone that is up in arms about this , remember their was a HUGE divider for a thousand years - The Rio Grande.

But that has all but dried up , so what if it is replaced now ?

Mexico offered them asylum, and they said No. If I were Mexico, I would be offended that they turned my country down.

@SW-User Hmm...that does make me feel a little less sympathetic to them. As a war refugee myself, I can attest to having sought asylum from pretty much anywhere that wasn't where I came from.

@SW-User that doesn't sound like something Mexico would do

@MaliaAgain That's what I heard. Mexico offered asylum to the caravan.

@SW-User I guess if you’re leaving your home because it’s unsafe and there’s no work, why would you stay in a new place where many of those people are leaving with the same concerns ?

SW-User

@bijouxbroussard It's still better than where they came from.

@SW-User Do you know that for certain ?

@bijouxbroussard Mexico has a lot of problems, but it's worse in Guatemala, Honduras and especially El Salvador.

@SW-User Plus, Mexico is a larger country, and therefore the dangerous situations are easier to avoid because they're concentrated in certain areas of the nation. Those other places you named are much smaller and so it's pretty much the whole country that's unsafe to live in.

@SW-User And people from Mexico come here.
