Trump is 'the boy who cried wolf' on immigration, says expert
11/16/2018
Brookings Institution fellow Elaine Kamarck on Friday compared President Trump's rhetoric on immigration to "the boy who cried wolf."
"I think that the president at this point with immigration is like the boy who cried wolf," Kamarck, who also directs the Center for Effective Public Management, told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "What America's Thinking."
"He's overusing it. He's overhyping it. He's over-scaring people. I just don't see this working at this hysterical level that he's got it to," she said, citing the president's rhetoric toward the Central American migrant caravan attempting to reach the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Already you see interviews with these troops at the border who are going to miss Thanksgiving at home, and who've already taken off their flak jackets because there is no invasion coming," she said. ..................................................

these destitute, unarmed men, women and children ... who are almost all on foot ... and roughly the same distance away as that between San Francisco and Salt Lake City?
What took them so long is my question?
Sorry you're all missing Thanksgiving ... remember who it was that said this whole thing was a stupid campaign stunt ... weeks ago.
That'd be us LIBERALS, in case you forgot.
Same ones who didn't want to see you, and your buddies ... asses get needlessly shot off, or blown up, over in Iraq.
You know ... the ones that were out in the street ... trying to SAVE YOUR LIVES?

He'll pout and stamp his feet.
