The 5,000 or so migrants headed towards the US from the south may be the leading edge of a much bigger wave. From Doug Casey at caseyresearch.com via lewrockwell.com:
Justin’s note: Hundreds of migrants have showed up at the U.S.-Mexico border.
They’re part of a “caravan” that includes about 5,000 people from Central America. The rest of the caravan, as far as we know, is still in central Mexico. But make no mistake. They’ll show up at the border any day now.
And no one can agree on what to do with these people. Some say we should just let them into America. Other people, including President Trump, think we should keep the migrants out. In fact, Trump recently called the caravan an “invasion.” Not only that, he deployed thousands of U.S. troops to the border to keep these people from entering.
In short, it’s very controversial. So I called Doug Casey earlier this week to see what he thinks about this…
Justin: Doug, the migrant caravan has captured the attention of the mainstream media as well as Donald Trump. Why’s this such a big deal?
Doug: There are several things going on here. One is that the leftists believe that nation states shouldn’t exist. Now, I’m not a believer in the nation state either. It’s only been around since the 17th century; it’s not inscribed in the cosmic firmament. There are better ways to organize a society.
