Editor,

Based on which legal principles is the caravan — now amassing at our border with Mexico — allowed to skip Mexico and choose to request political asylum in the United States?

The good news is that I bet Mexico starts enforcing its southern border with more vigor. Mexicans are getting as upset as we are regarding illegal immigrants forcing their way into their country.This caravan has not been helpful to those on the left as it has shown our president to be strong against this invasion, and it shows also that the left has no plan to deal with it except asylum for all. Build the Wall.

Chris what will you perhaps do after your president 4 yrs or 8 yrs term out. Will you ridicule the next POTUS? George W. Bush said one of the most important things a President has to know is enhance the office and run the country in a Presidential manner. Trump is not very presidential.

Yes, I am so enjoying spending my tax dollars on this bit of political theatre. Needlessly deploying the army to a well regulated border is just the thing. I also love the hyperbole: "Invasion". And how well I remember Obama calling for all central americans to come and get free asylum. Remember when we handed out cash bonuses to each asylum seeker, and granted them asylum immediately on setting foot into the country?

Veteran leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was sworn in as Mexican president on Saturday, vowing to see off a "rapacious" elite in a country struggling with corruption, chronic poverty and gang violence on the doorstep of the United States.

I'm not clear on why the Daily Journal thinks it is necessary to let people parade their ignorance in the Letters section.
