(Mediaite) President Donald Trump tonight tweeted out a video of comments former President Barack Obama made about immigration back when he was a senator.

The video, which appears to come from 2005, features Obama saying the following:

“We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States, undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”

Obama was correct then and the video is correct now. Meanwhile, yet another mob is forming in Guatemala, comprised mostly of young men, with a small scattering of women and children

(Fox News) A second migrant caravan is forming at the Honduran border and is expected to follow the larger caravan of more than 7,000 from Central America towards the U.S.-Mexico border, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

The remaining migrants in the first group are about 1,100 miles from the border town of Reynosa, which is across from McAllen, Texas, the paper reported.

Guatemalan authorities on Sunday estimated the new group — which gathered in a Guatemalan city near the border of Honduras — to be at 1,000. But the group appears to be growing. The Journal, citing estimates from church-run charities and activists, reported that the group is now made up of about 2,500. By Monday evening the group had entered the eastern Guatemalan town of Chiquimula.

These same people are carrying the flags of their countries, burning the American flag, making derogatory remarks towards America, and appear to want to force their way into a country they don’t like. Why not stop in Mexico? Tell you what: we can put them on buses straight to Canada. Kris Kobach notes

It is a stark contrast to the typical illegal immigration we have seen for decades – namely small groups of aliens sneaking across the border in the dead of night.  Now we have thousands of aliens marching to our southern border, in full daylight with the media in tow, demanding that they be admitted to the United States.  Meanwhile the American Left cheers them on.

But we shouldn’t be surprised.  For years, our country has rewarded illegal immigration with a permissive asylum system, lax interior enforcement, hundreds of sanctuary cities and counties, and generous welfare benefits in many states (including my own state of Kansas).  In total, the federal and state governments are giving illegal aliens more than $134 billion in taxpayer-provided benefits per year.  And the open-borders Left wants even more.

He ends by noting we need to stop rewarding illegal immigration. For some reason, Democrats and a few squishy Republicans have come to the opinion that we should just let these people who break our laws in. But they never seem to want to offer to take the illegals into their own homes.
