I saw a pic of someone handing out cash to the migrants. Not surprising.

In Guatemala and other places their have been government and NGO people providing eating money. Seems to be local. And when you get to accommodations and such it is clear the locals are helping.

I see you're doubling down on the asinine posts.

I can see why you vehemently defend illegal immigration if you're defending that picture. Doesn't make sense either way.

Default Remember when the caravans were "a thousand miles away?"

That was the talking point. The caravans were all the imagination of Trump and in any event it would take months for them to get here on foot. Guess what? They are here. In a matter of days. I am really interested to see how this ends. They better bring thick work gloves and strong boots to climb over triple concertina wires.

Remember that a vote for the Democrats is a vote for the caravan.

Mexico City?
Well hell, we're in deep kimchi. If they all jump on Uber, they can be at the border before the polls close tomorrow.

Ask them how they feel reaching Mexico City. You can say whatever you want. In their minds, they have arrived. 600 miles is one day ride. Oh, and they did not "dissipate" as Dem after Dem promised. There are thousands. And what is YOUR plan? They are at the door step now.

Oops, I missed the memo that I was the one creating the plan.

Honestly, I am really more reacting to how the post was worded in this case. They are not here yet. You can mention they are 600 miles away, but they've managed to go X miles per day. But making it sound like they are only a couple of miles away doesn't help.
Do they have a guaranteed ride for 600 straight miles then? It seemed from the article that it was hard to hitch a ride. So who knows how long, how many will actually make it here. Sounds like a lot of the other caravans fall apart by the end.

Does anyone really think all these undocumented Democrats are walking 3000miles to our southern border? . The ones that do get here from central America have been hitching rides. I just saw last week on the news a bunch of undocumented Democrats fighting among each other to get on a dozen buses and semi-trucks.
