There are plenty of Scriptures about the poor and oppressed...including the ones about orphans and widows who were, as fate would have it, poor and oppressed. Jeremiah 22:3 and Isaiah 1:17 are pretty clear...and there are others.Quote:

I'd submit that national "borders" weren't really a thing in Bible times. At least not in the same sense that we understand modern nation-state boundaries.Quote:

Most are fleeing violence rather than hunger, right?Quote:

So I think we should do everything we can to make sure they get to where they are headed. Canada.Quote:

DHS: GANG MEMBERS, MIDDLE EASTERNERS IN CARAVAN
People 'with significant criminal histories' headed for U.S.
Published: 23 hours ago
The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday it can confirm that gang members and males from the Middle East and Asia are in the caravan headed for the United States that began in Honduras.
DHS spokesman Tyler Houlton said “there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories.”
“Citizens of countries outside Central America, including countries in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and elsewhere are currently traveling through Mexico toward the U.S.,” he said.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said Tuesday his team with the caravan found citizens from Asia and the Middle East, mostly young men, and indications the caravan was organized from the outside.
The Judicial Watch team believes Americans are likely involved in the financing, Fitton said, and he wants President Trump to investigate.
Investigative reporter Sara Carter, who is in Guatemala, found it’s mostly men crossing the Guatemalan border. She said they are giving a rehearsed answer: “This is not politics – this is about poverty.”
“There were women and children but they were at the front of the caravan (smaller numbers). None would say who the organizers are but several said it was organized,” she tweeted Tuesday.
Carter, noted the Gateway Pundit, met with the Guatemalan Minister of Defense on Tuesday.

Katie Waldman, “clarified that the tweet about non-Central American migrants does refer to the caravan specifically.”Quote:

- Democrats' illegal immigration tune has changed over years despite incoming caravan
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted a 2005 video in which then Senator Obama made a statement against illegal immigration, accompanied by the comment "I agree with President Obama 100%".
“We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States,” Obama said in the 31-second clip. “But those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law.”
He added: “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants into this country.”
