Another caravan preparing to attack the southern border

The Washington Post "fact-checkers" checking the facts are not checking off the box that asks if the migrant situation is getting worse because, let's face it, we're talking about the leftist Washington Post," the paper now preferred by Mitt Romney.

"Another migrant caravan is forming in Honduras, with plans to set out next week on a journey that will once again test the immigration policies of Mexico and the United States," the Washington Post reported.

The Post notes that, as with the previous caravan, a flier was "circulating on Honduran social media" announcing the plan to form a new group to head north. The flier provides the location where the new caravan is gathering — San Pedro Sula, a city close to the northern Honduran border — and says the group will set out at 5 a.m. on Jan. 15. "We're looking for refuge," the flier reads. "In Honduras, we are being killed."

Which may be partially true, but it's also possible and fairly likely that those who are doing some of the killing are in the caravan coming here. We have no foolproof way of knowing this for a fact, but we have plenty of Democratic fools in Washington who don't care about facts.

The Mexican government is now preparing for the new caravan's arrival at the southern border with Guatemala, interior minister Olga Sánchez Cordero said Monday at a press conference.

After having failed to stop thousands of migrants from illegally crossing into the country last year, Sánchez Cordero said this time they plan to more effectively lock down the border, in part by placing guards at 370 potential crossing points, the Post reports.

Like many in the previous caravan, which included around 7,000 migrants, the Honduran migrants who manage to make it into Mexico and to its northern border to apply for asylum in the U.S. will likely end up finding themselves having to wait in Mexico while their applications are processed, thanks to a deal between the Trump administration and Mexican government in order to keep asylum seekers south of the border during the process.

Though most of the migrants from the previous caravan have found themselves stuck in Mexico, the Post notes that down in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, "there is a widespread perception that the earlier group succeeded."

This is what's known as "propaganda," folks.

With pressure over the government shutdown mounting, President Trump gave his first national address from the Oval Office Tuesday on the "growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border," a situation further inflamed by the migrant caravan late last year.

The press went into what they called "fact checking" mode, which merely indicates what their interpretation of the facts are and discarding facts that don't matter to them.

"Every day, Customs and Border Patrol agents encounter thousands of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country," the President said. "We are out of space to hold them and we have no way to promptly return them back home to their country. America proudly welcomes millions of lawful immigrants who enrich our society and contribute to our nation, but all Americans are hurt by uncontrolled illegal migration. It strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages. Among those hardest hit are African Americans and Hispanic Americans."

The latter statement is a fact that the media doesn't mention. As we take in more and more low-skilled labor, those with jobs in this area will either have to accept less pay or find another low-skilled job, if they can.

What we need now is for Jim Acosta to go down to the border wall again, and show the nation just how great walls work.

Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
