the caravan does not matter. and you are a bad person for worrying about it because they are very far away.y. they are telling you that the existential threat to america is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away. this group of folks, we don t even know where they are, they are way down there. tucker: they are way down there! we don t even know where they are, buck. buses and trains exist in mexico, which i think journalists know, especially journalists in mexico reporting on this but there was always this, well, it s going to take them forever to march. no, by the way, with some help, they got on buses, trains, other modes of transportation, got to the border. if they were actually refugees as obama said, they should claim refugee status in the first country they arrive in, where they are no longer under mortal threat. mexico has offered them asylum, they said no because they are not refugees, they are just people that want to get to the front of the line for immigration.
they are sick and tired of it they don t know how long they are going to wait. they told reporters yesterday they were frustrated and that s what they that s why they did it unfortunately for some of them, they will wind up getting deported back and won t be able to have their asylum. pete: look at these images how do you address this problem. first of all is acknowledging you have a problem in the first place. problem is democrats and we will play some sound here in the past couple of months. democrats saying this migrant caravan thing it s not even really a thing, listen. they re telling you the, the existential threat to america is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away. the caravan being an issue inflated for political purposes to influence the midterm election. this president has a tendency to rely on fear, to try and scare people. we don t have a national security crisis around asylum seekers. they are just flat out lying about the national security
nonlethal chemical devices. you have devices make you cry and tear and pepper which basically burns. but it s temporary. thankfully, listen, it s not preferable, i m not saying it s a pleasant experience. but it doesn t do any damage and the minute you put water in your eyes it s over within a few minutes. again, it s an unpleasant experience, steve, i asked people who have a problem with this, well, what do you want our brave men and women defending our women to do if they are having rocks thrown at them and you have a bunch of people storming the border? what s your option? what do you want them to do? use foul language? i mean, there is nothing they have to defend themselves. these are brave men and women defending our border. this is not a pleasant situation. i m not suggesting that there were good options. i m suggesting to you there are only less bad options. and this was the less bad option here. steve: dan, we see these images on the front of every paper it shows a woman and
happy thanksgiving. mike: another wild week in the news. this week on fox news sunday, chris wallace will interview. for my brothers paul and christian, that isat it for special report, i m mike emanuel, good night from washington. tammy: good evening, everybody, and welcome to a special inside the issues edition of tucker carlson tonight. i m tammy bruce filling in for tucker this evening. don t worry, you will see plenty of tucker as he confronts issue from big tech issues of life and china s role in the heroin epidemic. but first, the showdown at the border continues. for weeks, the media explains the migrant caravan was a hoax to boost g.o.p. midterm turnout. they are telling you the, the existential threat to america is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles
refugees a thousand miles away. these group of folks, we don t even know where they re. they are way down there. they have been running on an imaginary caravan. this stupid [bleep] caravan. [laughter] you know, it s a lie that this caravan is a problem of that magnitude. programming on the caravan was propaganda. tammy: but now that supposedly made up caravan has indeed appeared. and government of tijuana is begging for help and calling it a humanitarian crisis. president trump s own efforts to secure the border are running into obstacles. the president recently blasted the 9th circuit of appeals for blocking his attempt at alterations for american asylum policy. it s a terrible thing when judges take over your protective services when they tell you how to protect your border. it s a disgrace. essentially they are legislating. they are saying what to do. some judge sitting in some location very far away is telling our incredible
