President Donald Trump sat down with a group of his supporters for a roundtable discussion. When a reporter from The New York Times interrupted the dialogue to ask about the migrant caravan headed for the U.S. border, Trump immediately shut her down by unleashing her worst nightmare.
Thousands of Honduran migrants are headed for the United States border. Some 1,300 people, including young children, left San Pedro Sula in northern Honduras last Saturday, in what some are calling the “March of the Migrant.” Over the weekend, that number increased to 7,000 people as the caravan swarmed over the southern Mexico border.
President Donald Trump addressed a group of his supporters in Arizona on Friday, calling some of the migrants headed for the U.S. border in a caravan from Honduras “hardened criminals.” Specifically, he said, “Some of these people are hard criminals. Hardened criminals — not good people. These are some bad people coming through. These aren’t babies, these aren’t little angels coming into our country.”
Of course, the president’s politically incorrect rhetoric upset many a bleeding-heart liberal in the press. Immediately after Trump’s comments, a reporter from The New York Times chimed in with an accusation that the president is incorrect about the migrants being dangerous people. “What evidence do you have that these are hardened criminals that are coming to the United States?” she asked Trump.
“Oh, please. Please. Don’t be a baby. Okay?” he shot back, shutting the reporter down. “Take a look. Just take a look at what’s happening. Look at the Mexican soldiers that are laying on the ground. Take a look. These are hardened criminals. These are tough, tough people. I don’t want them in our country, and neither does our country want them in our country.”
Trump alerted the U.S. military on Monday, as the caravan of migrants crossed into Mexico. “I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Must change laws!”
“Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States,” Trump tweeted. “Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergency. Must change laws!”

“Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!” added the president. “Remember the Midterms! So unfair to those who come in legally.”

“Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them,” Trump tweeted.

President Donald Trump is absolutely right about the migrants making their way to our border — many of them are hardened criminals who will bring nothing but crime and destruction to our streets if they are not stopped.
Don’t expect the mainstream media to show you those hardened criminals on television, though. Any chance they get, they’ll interview the woman cradling a child in a shameless ploy to tug at the public’s heartstrings, intentionally bypassing the throngs of dangerous thugs she is traveling with.
Please keep the brave men and women of our military in your prayers as they prepare to take on the thousands of migrants intent on invading our country illegally. Make no mistake — this is an invasion and it must be stopped. We simply cannot afford to open our borders to thousands of undocumented immigrants who are not only dangerous but have no way of supporting themselves once they are here.
