[QUOTE="Cirrus, post: 177334, member: 10493"] Trump has been encouraging the caravan to turn around and enter the US "legally". While I agree that the migrants should try to enter through other legal channels, the migrants could, legally, request asylum at the border. Not the best idea given the large number of migrants who will be seeking asylum, but if you're SOL in your own country, you'll probably do anything for a better life. At the same time, it's hard for Trump to actually encourage the caravan to do anything. First, they likely don't have phones and are not regularly consuming US news on their trek (maybe they'll get information second/third/fourth hand by word of mouth). Second, the migrants are literally coming by foot. It's not like they can really "turn around" and go home because it's a really long frigging way to walk back. Third, the migrants don't want to go home because of the conditions in their own country. The migrants are traveling in groups for safety because otherwise they would be dead or kidnapped by now. Either way... the move by Trump to place 5,000 troops at the border now is a political play that will seek to sway moderate with a right lean votes. There is no reason to have the troops at the border now when the caravan is still about a 1,000 miles away and on foot. I don't think his stance here will get the Republicans too many more votes.
