Former President Barack Obama is ridiculing President Trump and Republicans for vowing to stop the caravan of 4,000 Central American migrants heading toward our border. Republicans are “trying to convince everybody to be afraid of a bunch of impoverished, malnourished refugees,” says Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasts Republicans for stoking “baseless fear” in the lead-up to Tuesday’s election.
Baseless fear? Democrats aren’t leveling with you about the welfare, health benefits and education resources these migrants will consume, if they’re allowed in.
Democrats are also claiming the US has to let the migrants in, because they’re seeking asylum. The truth is, the US Constitution and federal law give the president the authority to block their entry.
Trump’s critics portray migrants as families fleeing for their lives. Don’t believe it. Few are truly legitimate asylum seekers. Mexico launched a “Make Yourself at Home” program, offering migrants shelter, food, work and schools for their kids. Most turned it down. They’re heading to the US for a lifestyle upgrade, knowing that uttering the words “asylum” and “credible fear” to a US border agent is a get-in-free card.
