....a number of U.S. officials -- most notably then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- played an important role in preventing Zelaya’s return to office and the junta consolidating its power in the face of massive nonviolent protests.

Since the coup, writes historian Dana Frank, “a series of corrupt administrations has unleashed open criminal control of Honduras, from top to bottom of the government.” The Trump administration’s recognition, in December 2017, of President Juan Orlando Hernández’s re-election—after a process marked by deep irregularities, fraud and violence. This continues Washington’s longstanding willingness to overlook official corruption in Honduras as long as the country’s ruling elites serve what are defined as U.S. economic and geopolitical interests.
Organized crime, drug traffickers and the country’s police heavily overlap. The frequent politically motivated killings are rarely punished. In 2017, Global Witness, an international nongovernmental organization, found that Honduras was the world’s deadliest country for environmental activists.

I'll agree we do not need to be in the business of regime change around the globe. But I fail to see how that means we should be drug down to the level of other countries. Wouldn't it be better to raise them to our level?

These changes were included in the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (H.R. 5122), which was signed into law on October 17, 2006.[7]
Section 1076 is titled "Use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies." It provided that:
The President may employ the armed forces... to... restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition... the President determines that... domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order... or [to] suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such... a condition... so hinders the execution of the laws... that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law... or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
Wiki "Posse Comitatus Act"
There are a number of situations in which the Act does not apply. These include:
...
Enforcement of federal law at the discretion of the President of the United States, such as with the 101st Airborne Division by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to integrate Little Rock Central High School in 1957

True, they are still legally struggling with anti-white land-theft in SA, thanks to our negotiated constitution. Things don't always go their way. They are working on it tirelessly however.
Anyway, not to divert, but the demands the far-left make are pretty predictable.
I mean we saw exactly the same thing in Germany 2015.
That is until Hungary put a stop to it.
But you can see the attitude of these people.
Today the border; tomorrow your house.
It all belongs to us.
Not only that, but most of them have been indoctrinated with extreme hatred for whites - believe it or not.
But if they gain the power, it's goodnight USA.

the vast majority of asylum
So, Mexico offered asylum. Why did they refuse?
Because with Mexican minimum wage being what it is (about $5 US/week), it wasn't much of an offer, perhaps?

Uhhh... They Jews weren't looking for jobs. They were trying to get out of a gas shower and a community dirt nap.
The problem isn't Hitler and his country genociding Jews... It's drugs and gangs, much like we have in the US. The Cartels are their countries problem. Not the US. It's not a reason for them to be in the US. It's not what the law was created for.

Uhhh... Factor in Cost of LIVING foo!
I can go there and live like a king where here, the man is keeping me down with my current salary and I'm considered middle class.
You're looking at numbers but numbers didn't factor in how low cost everything is.
Also... I don't know 1 person that works less than full time (under 40 hours). Yeah I agree there are a lot of part timers out there.... Burger King, WalMart etc... But those aren't exactly decent jobs. Those are low wage jobs.
Not to mention, you're using MINIMUM WAGE. Those people need to start somewhere. You want them to make full time electrician pay? Or maybe VP pay... How leftist is your thinking? It's not like they're going to get even minimum wage in the US. They're not documented... We pay cheap for cheap labor. Why do you think they call it cheap labor? We use them for that exact purpose. Is that humane? Didn't think so.
Pipe dream man... Pipe dream.

I appreciate your acknowledgment the borders should be secured and these people kept out and not allowed to charge in.
That's just how it should be, I don't think people should be allowed to illegally force entry, they should go through the legal process like everyone has to.
The President and his supporters think the same thing. Yet, somehow it’s ‘bigoted’?
You are misunderstanding, I don't think anyone is arguing due process shouldn't be upheld, some of us myself including are arguing this is not invasion and there a processes in place to deal with these things, this whole send the military crap was a ploy to generate fear and votes through that fear. This migrant caravan is not the first nor will it be the last.
