Just what I said; the problem is that Mexico let these people in and are letting them just stroll north to the American border.

Mexico is doing it on purpose; trying to flood the United States in an attempt at revenge for the Mexican War (which they started anyway).

J.R. Dunn says:

But it's not a mistake; it's an attempt to manipulate the upcoming election in the U.S. by putting the border patrol under great pressure and thus handing sound bytes and video footage to help the Democrats. The GOP's signature issue during the last election cycle was control of the borders and this caravan is designed to suggest to the weak minded in this country that they have lost control of the border. And if a "refugee" gets shot or injured in some way they will make a huge deal of it. All of this is intended to embarrass the Administration just before the election.

Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum knows this too, which is why she let them into Mexico in the first place; she's in on it. She has openly embraced the Reconquista, the plot by Mexico to steal the American Southwest (which Mexico had no legitimate claim to) by flooding the U.S. with millions of illegal aliens. Her mentor was former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, who has publicly stated that he wanted to see this Reconquista and reverse the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended any claim Mexico had on Texas and ceded New Mexico and northern Arizona to the U.S. plus allowed for California to leave Mexico and be annexed by the U.S. (something they did voluntarily). No mention of he fact that Texas was part of the original Louisiana purchase, or that it was just one of several states that rebelled against Santa Ana, or that the U.S. paid Mexico for the land and especially paid for southern Arizona - the Gadsden Purchase. We did not steal the land - we bought it after THEY stole parts of it from us.

So I would disagree with Dunn's characterizing this as a mistake by Mexico; they knew exactly what they were doing. President Trump needs to punish them for it. They've been pulling this for many years on us.

In a related American Thinker post the author argues that it was a mistake to only go after illegal aliens who had criminal records. I agree.

We needed to make ALL illegal aliens fear being here; it's the only way to get them to self-deport. We were offering money for them to leave anyway. It's the stick and the carrot. You need both to give a proper incentive.

I wish the Administration would have said "no quarter" rather than what they said, but I get it; they didn't want to be accused of being hard, especially since the public was more likely to be on-board with getting rid of criminals first. But it was a mistake.

The author makes two arguments 1.It's next to impossible to give a threat level to illegals, who are scattered to the four winds and burrowed into the fabric of society and 2.this should be about the Rule of Law and by not arguing that case we find people asking why the "good illegal" can't stay if they've integrated into society and raised a family and paid taxes. It's a solid argument and I agree. It's as cops often say "I don't necessarily agree with the law but I still enforce it". If the laws are bad they need to be changed by Congress. That's how America is supposed to work, not have Congress pass laws then ignore them. If we are going to ignore immigration laws why can't we ignore the IRS? Why can't we ignore Civil Rights legislation? The law is either the law of the land or it's nothing. You don't get to pick and choose; that's what the Antebellum South did with Nullification and that matter was settled by the blood o tens of thousands of Americans. You are either in all the way or you are out - and if you are out get out. Go someplace else.

But sadly the public is easily manipulated, especially their hearts, and a bunch of sob stories get Americans, especially young white women, to grow angry at those trying to enforce the law because they thin it somehow cruel to ask people to come here the right way.

Yes, trying to appease the American left is foolish, and it didn't work. It has slowed repatriation way down because we waste vast resources trying to find the criminals from among the illegal aliens. That should be easy; they are ALL criminals. That's what it means to enter the country illegally.

So Trump's Administration has shown weakness and Sheinbaum is plotting to help move large masses of people to the U.S. and invade us with what is essentially a mercenary army. We need to punish them for that. And we need to punish ALL illegal aliens; they flipped the American legal system the bird.

We need to kick these people out. They are not assimilating and they are stealing jobs, stealing social services, stealing our culture and our heritage. We cannot allow them to stay. If we do we tell the Democrats that all they have to do is bring them in and we won't stop them. Then they will vote and give power to the Democrats. And we show Mexico and other erstwhile friends and outright enemies we are weak and foolish.

And it is the Christian thing to do. We owe it to our children first amd foremost. And it would be better for the aliens since it will force their home countries to reform, and will stop people from making the dangerous and unhealthy trek here out of a dream to live the American life without paying the American price. Being a Christian does not mean being a patsy.

So Trump best wake up and get more aggressive about this. And do not, under any circumstances, let that caravan get anywhere near the U.S. border. That is the plot and has been all along.
