According to DHS data obtained by Fox News, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has used 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, commonly known as tear gas, 126 times since 2010.


During the Obama administration, tear gas was used on the border 26 times in 2012, 27 times in 2013, 15 times in 2014, eight times in 2015, and three times in 2016. That compares to 18 times in 2017 and 29 times in 2018 during the Trump administration.

I'm a house painter. I've seen Latina cleaning ladies in all shapes and sizes. I don't work exclusively for wealthy people...damn near every one of my clients has one or two of these gals show up once a week, every 10 days at the most.

Some can speak English, most can't. The homeowner doesn't care one bit if they're wetbacks or not. Modern American women DO NOT want to clean toilets or mop the floor.

It appears that these gals make about $25 an hour. All cash. That's a friggin' fortune south of the border. Our economy is roaring and there's plenty of work...that's why they're all heading here.

I think? Trying to live by my signature these days, but this seems logical to me. $25 and hour is damn good money.

My wife hires a girl to clean our house once a week. She is in the country legally... that is all.

Likewise. But it is 2 gals and I didn't check their citizenship. Since my wife works it means weekends and weeknights are not spent cleaning shitters. Worth every penny.

Thats not how it works, that not how any of this works...

I thought it was the Republicans that wanted illegals for cheap labor:

Your side just wants them for votes.

You're screwing those notions up, bad.

either that or your a Re---naw, can't be that...

That thing looks badass and totally like something they'd start blowing up. Can it get that bad?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're destroying this where they can and pouring thru. If this refugee crisis starts occurring in other border towns we may end up like Israel...fighting them off all the time.

No tellin' how this is gonna level out.

As a structural engineer I can tell you that design is extremely flawed and will never work. Whomever made this video is clueless when it comes to engineering.

My first concern is the gaps in this fence will be so wide it would be simple to squeeze through. From canyoneering I know a 10" wide gap is no problem for most to squeeze through. The gaps would need to be about 6" to stop most illegal immigrants from squeezing through. That means each leg of the X would need to be fabricated from 6" structural tubing or something similar and that simply will not support a tramway running along the top.

Not to mention there is zero lateral support. The first time one of your tramway cars brakes the entire structure is coming down in a domino effect. The entire structure needs some type of lateral bracing parallel to the tramway.

I could go on....

So what is the general status of the Caravan? Is it still coming? Or did it show up and kind of fizzle out?

I could google it but I'd rather get my info from reliable sources, like the good folks at bogley

[Iceaxe]

You really need to keep up Beech... Trump shot all the immigrants with his fully automatic tear gas cannons. He killed them all, even the women and children. He killed both legal and illegals immigrants alike because he hates immigrants.... or at least that's the jist I get from CNN.

[BasinCruiser]

The whole caravan thing is a hoax. Most of them are just coming for hand-outs, but claiming political assylum. Trump could get a win-win if he simply offered a job to these people to build the wall. Those that accept - jumpt to the front of the line for asylum, and he gets a gigantic discount on labor for cost of the wall. Those that don't - deny asylum.

Did they at least bulldoze the bodies back to the south side of the border?
