Former President Barack Obama is ridiculing President Trump and Republicans for vowing to stop the caravan of 4,000 Central American migrants heading toward our border. Republicans are “trying to convince everybody to be afraid of a bunch of impoverished, malnourished refugees,” says Obama. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blasts Republicans for stoking “baseless fear” in the lead-up to Tuesday’s election.
Baseless fear? Democrats aren’t leveling with you about the welfare, health benefits and education resources these migrants will consume, if they’re allowed in.
Democrats are also claiming the US has to let the migrants in, because they’re seeking asylum. The truth is, the US Constitution and federal law give the president the authority to block their entry.

Mexico launched a “Make Yourself at Home” program, offering migrants shelter, food, work and schools for their kids. Most turned it down.

Federal taxpayers pay billions of dollars a year to fund community health clinics primarily used by illegal immigrants, while local taxpayers foot school bills for their children.
When migrant children lacking English skills and school experience are placed in public schools here, they require enormous resources. Too bad for the rest of the kids.
Worse, dozens of Central American migrant children have been arrested as “suspected gang members” of the violent MS-13 street gangs, according to US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
How can anyone so easily dismiss the problems migrants bring to our nation?
