It's not like the democrats are out supporting this.

If you buy into theory that they've been paid to do this, surely they've been paid by Trump supporters to stir up the base.

What possible benefit is this caravan to democrats/Soros?

They have been pushing for open borders for the last 15 years. The democrats have been calling for the abolishment of ICE.

What benefit do the democrats think they have with open borders, they have been very clear, they see these people as their future voters.

They are using these people to turn once red states, blue.

They also get more representation in congress with the increase of population of the blue states.

That mob grows larger by the day. It could be a million by the time they reach our southern border.

It doesn't matter what our government says, does or doesn't do about this approaching menace. The fed-up, armed American people will stop it if government doesn't respond properly. We don't need government's approval to stop a threat to our country.

Let me rephrase. What possible benefit to the midterms is this caravan?

If they can get across the border and the Dems quickly register them, who knows?

Just in time for them to arrive at the border for mid-term elections, and the press to engage in another week of collective mental-health collapse.

Whomever coordinated this needs to be treated as an enemy of the United States.

This is what election interference actually looks like: the timed creation of a physical disaster on the U.S. border. If we are prosecuting for Facebook ads, whomever goes down for organizing and funding these caravans, eventually, should never again see the light of day either in GTMO or the US. Whatever it takes.

Trump can't with hold funding from these countries. That's the job of Congress. Trump probably can't do anything except talk. I can't stand the man but can't he negotiate something with Mexico?
I read an article that people are leaving food and water on the roadside. People are leaving strollers and diapers too apparently.

Dems are not behind this, but no prominent Dem has spoken out against it. The silence translates into a feeling that Dem party does not view our sovereignty as something worth defending.

27,000 of them and counting. Did they all go unnoticed by your media?
