A Human Crisis
5,000 people have arrived
In Tijuana wanting to cross
But you know what the President is saying?
What he's saying as USA boss?
He's lambasted this caravan of migrants
And said it was criminal infused
Insinuated (without any proof)
They're disguised terrorists designed to confuse
Tijuana is providing them toilets
Showers and shampoo and soap
But their own government is apathetic
So they've applied to the UN for hope

Don - 5000 people turning up at the gates of USA and knocking to come in does not sound like controlled legal immigration.
Yes they may all have a good reason for leaving Honduras, Guatamala etc, but if they genuinely need refuge don't forget they have all passed through at least one safe country to get to Tijuana.
And don't forget...USA does not have a PNG like Oz!
When comparing US and Aus policy on immigrants we need to be be talking legal immigrants. Both countries allow these and I believe US is now beginning to do this but far too slow in Tijuana. I am not close to the situation and can only present the situation as I see it
Well said, Don

Don - what's your view on Trump's decision to deny them entry, bearing in mind your own stance on illegals entering Oz?

Every country is entitled to the right to have laws that control who
enters it - and, logically, anyone attempting to force an entry or
otherwise bypassing those laws is subject to action necessary for
their implementation/enforcement. Criminal intent and the
spread of disease are but two obvious reasons for such laws and
their enforcement. It is no accident that there has been a notable
increase in serious diseases like TB accompanying the modern phenomena of mass human migration.
