Democrats call this fear-mongering, but among Democrats it has caused political paralysis, a self-destructive institutional passivity.
Whatever you call this, it may just be the event that finally compels Americans to think long and hard about why a sovereign nation would even bother to have borders at all.
Calling the mass of people moving through Central America a caravan is just a bit too precious, isn't it?
Their allies in the Democratic Media Complex waxed on endlessly about families being separated at the borders, even though they were separated by law after they insisted on crossing the border illegally.
"We are a generous and welcoming people," insisted then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2006, "But those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law. And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders we simply cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undetected, undocumented and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of immigration law."
A caravan can be festive: old gypsy women telling fortunes, copper pots clanging from the back of wagons, picaresque rogues stealing into towns for adventures, stories told by campfire light, accordion music, dancing.
Given how Democrats have hurt themselves on immigration issues, this mass exodus from Central America is a looming disaster.
