Migrant Caravan or Alien Invasion?

It's like so, so many things in our culture.  Words matter.  Depending upon where you are and what venue you're speaking in, you have to be careful.  The politically correct culture has become pervasive and now has been embedded in almost every aspect of our lives.  I can't even document all of the crazy PC attacks on language that we see every day.  And one of the things that has happened is that we are inundated with PC language through the media.  Since the vast majority are left wing sympathizers, they embrace the PC culture and pass it on to the rest of us.

Which brings me to the latest thing in our language that irks me.  So we know that there are thousands of people who have been talked in to, coerced, paid, cajoled or whatever to undertake a trek of thousands of miles North to the U.S. These people come from all parts of society and since the society is corrupt and poor, most of them are from that stratum.  They are supposedly escaping a terrible situation and seeking a better life.  Of course, Mexico offered them that but most decided to keep going to try and reach the U.S.  And who could blame them I guess.  But Trump is having none of it.  He will secure the border against these people at all costs.  They are portrayed as simple, poor people just looking for a better life.  They are together and traveling.  Hence the name "caravan".  They are supposedly itinerant workers.  Hence the name "migrant".  But any logical, thinking person should be able to see that this is an invasion.  They see an opportunity to get to the promised land and are willing to risk a lot of try it.  And while they want work, there are clearly all kinds of people in the group.  So I can't see them as anything other than an Alien Invasion.  That's not remotely PC, but that's how I see it.  You will never hear that term on the news, but that's what it is.  And if your home and land is being invaded, shouldn't you do something about it?  Or want to do something about it?  Most can see that but there is a big segment of the population that believes that we should open the borders and let anyone in who wants to come.  But we've seen that movie before.  Europe has done just that and they are reaping the consequences right now.  It's a mess, they know it's a mess, and there isn't anything they can do about it.
