Folks the reason why no one blamed Bernie Sanders for what happened to Scalise is because:

Sanders never targeted Scalise for hate speech, he never celebrated physical violence against a reporter, he never called the press the enemy of the people, and on and on. No comparison.

Mexico offers temporary permits to caravan migrants seeking asylum

Move is being seen as attempt to step up efforts to stop large group heading for the US

“This plan is only for those who comply with Mexican laws, and it’s a first step towards a permanent solution for those who are granted refugee status in Mexico,” Peña Nieto said in a pre-recorded address broadcast on Friday.

To qualify for the scheme he called “Estas en Tu Casa” (“Make Yourself at Home”) migrants had to be in the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, the president said.

Mexico’s government has said that more than 1,700 people in the convoy have registered for asylum, while others have returned home. Estimates on the size of the group vary.

Fugelsang's best tweet ever:

@JohnFugelsang
Perhaps if we all just started referring to Climate Change as 'desperate Honduran refugees on foot at the Mexico/Guatemala border' the president might take the threat seriously
