And so it begins. And we are supposed to believe Americans voted for this.

No law has changed, no executive order has been signed, and no Democrat has taken a gavel yet. The election returns were signal enough. Hot Air: …the Democratic “Blue Wave” appears to have encouraged some migrants to undertake a risky journey to the US. The hope for an easier passage to the United States was especially palpable this week among a pair of migrant caravans bound from Honduras and El Salvador. Some told CNN that with the imminent Democratic majority in Congress, they are betting it will be easier to reach the United States. All asked to remain anonymous due to the dangers associated with embarking on the journey to the border. “That’s the hope,” said Beatriz M., who is traveling with her husband and her 9- and 11-year-old children from El Salvador, “that we can make it to where we’re going.” Beatriz and dozens of other Salvadorans set out on Friday from the Western Bus Terminal in San Salvador for Tecún Umán, on the Guatemala-Mexico border (John Sexton).

One traveler, quoted by the Tico Times, explained the logic: “Trump is on his way out in these elections. That’s why we’re taking the risk.” The border does not wait for inauguration day. It responds to incentives, and the incentive just changed.
