    In fact, we still do. The caravan is only 5000 people, while our annual inflow of unauthorized Central American immigration is more like 30,000 to 60,000. I realize this fact will not soothe the fears of the people freaking out about the Central Americans...https://twitter.com/spooknine/status/1055057698369273856 …

    The US can easily absorb not only this caravan but a couple orders of magnitude more migrants. This is not speculation- we used to do it regularly, and no one noticed!

        The most poorly-attended NFL game in history got 15,000 people. There are 250,000 Amish people. 60,000 people work in Disney World. 5,000 people puts them on par with the American Magicians Association.

        There's something about people traveling in groups which inspires conspiratorial thinking. See also busses of voters.

        Perhaps it's not fear or freaking out. Is it fair to legal immigrants to allow illegal immigrants to simply walk in because the economy in their country doesn't support a life style they aspire to?

        Right. Of which the majority of these "migrants" (males under 30) will probably not qualify.

        It’s of course not true that no one noticed. The same sorts of people having a big freak out about this caravan have been noticing for generations.

        How much rationalizing goes into ‘absorb’

        The 5,000 is not the entire issue, an open absorption policy is not really a great long term strategy and does not encourage following an actual process.
