Countries Represented at Our Southern Border

the numbers lately are pretty eye-popping

That darn Scout. First he changes everyone's names and doesn't correct them within 24 hours, then he starts mucking with people's posts. :P  =D

Pretty close to what I originally said was:

I knew we were getting some "international diversity" at the Southern border, but had no idea it ranged this wide. Fifty countries!?! We can probably assume not all of them are innocent asylum seekers.

I found the monthly influx numbers to be rather eye-popping as well.

This headline is different than my original link, but I think the story is the same:

Which is why the MSM are studiously ignoring it as a story.  Orange Man Bad, can't let him be right about anything.  (especially when it would prove the need for a wall.)

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Yes, I accidentally modified Ben's post instead of quoting it.   I PM him, so hopefully he be along soon to fix the damage I did.

Because you're a racist.

I'm just waiting for the link.

Are there any (white) South Africans showing up asking for asylum yet or are they all going to Australia to be placed in one of their island relocation camps until being shipped to the US of A?

Romanians?

Romania is part of the EU, their citizens have access to labor markets across that continent. Why come here?
