25. "Do you think they'll simply get tired of watching nothing happen there and eventually go home?"

Yup, that is exactly what is going to happen.

It happens every year. Year after year after year. There is no "end game" except stabilizing the countries in that region along with some other countries that people have fled (like Haiti and even China) who are using the same locations to cross.

You have GOP loons running down "to the southern border", literally yearly (before election times) and hopping on boats to ride up and down the river in front of the cameras.

You notice that you don't hear the hysteria in NM (that has a border with Mexico) or AZ (that has a border with Mexico) or CA (that has a border with Mexico).

What is happening now is a surge of trafficking and Mexico sitting back letting individuals from other countries, come through undeterred and thus BYPASSING the special immigration processing offices that the U.S. set up in places like Guatemala and Colombia, etc., eventually swarming the border. The State Dept. met with officials in Mexico back in December to get them to step up their own side's enforcement and of course there was a quid pro quo response that we got out of that.

It's just one of the GOP sideshow issues along with another that will probably come up again soon - "the debt".
