Trump dropped it -- so did they.
What is there to report? I mean really? They illegal invasion force is in Mexico city trashing it. So what else needs to be reported?

And lets be honest..the whole "fear mongering" trip you are trying to push is no different than the extreme fearmongering the loony left keeps whining about when it comes to Trump

Trump calls all Mexican rapists
Trump wants to deport ALL Mooslims
Trump will start WW3
Trump beat up Malania
Trump wants to shoot down illegals if they throw rocks
Trump RIPS (GASP) infants from their mothers arms and puts them in concentration camps

Et al....

you failed..

Trump supporters should just admit at this point that they're willing participants in and facilitators of the Con Artist in Chief's scams on the American people. They know what's up, they just don't care.

Um, you were saying?

Don't you ever get embarrassed over being so wrong, so many times, on so many subjects?

Migrant caravan plows on despite facing border bottleneck after Trump tightens asylum rules

by William La Jeunesse | Fox News

A major shot across the bow from President Trump on Thursday may give migrants in the Central American caravan second thoughts about entering the U.S.

The caravan, numbering roughly 6,000, spent one more night in Mexico City before continuing north to Queretaro.

However, in a statement issued jointly by the DHS and DOJ, the administration said migrants will not be allowed to enter the U.S. illegally to file asylum claims, which is how the vast majority of roughly 150,000 Central American families and children entered the U.S. last fiscal year.

Instead, they will be required to enter through official ports of entry, like those near San Diego, Yuma and El Paso. By issuing the new directive, the President is creating a bottleneck by funneling tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to already overcrowded ports.

With long lines, and long wait times adding up to several months, most migrants will have no choice but to turn around or pursue jobs in Mexico. Others, impatient, will try to cross illegally. If caught, they will lose the right to apply for legal entry for 3 to 10 years.

“Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it," said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker in a joint statement.
Being consistently wrong is one of the few things the left excels at. Second only to lying.

You know what? You are giving the President way too much power here. And you're wrong anyway. People come to their own conclusions and speak from their own heart. Just because you disagree is not grounds for such dismissive "brainwashing" speak.

Well I'll agree to disagree. I think it's so obvious what's happened here, and you're being far too charitable toward a large portion of the population, especially those who speak in the manner of the poster I quoted. "enemy of the people?" Cmon Nor Cal, how is that not alarming to you?

The caravan will continue to make coverage as it gets closer to our border. It wasn't a political stunt, it wasn't fear- mongering or anything of the sort.

Tsk, tsk. The lefties are only proving that they do not pay attention and that they let the msm tell them what to think.

Much of the week up to the midterms the media had been relatively quiet. The migrants had been quiet themselves. Other than quietly marching along, and stopping to rest, there hadn't been any recent battles with the Mexican police, no further attempts to murder the police, no fires set in public buildings, etc. Our military was sent to the border and had been quietly taking steps to try to keep them from entering illegally. Even the chatter in this thread had died down, don't believe me then go back and look at the dwindling posts from just before the midterms.

Other than reporting on their current progress, just what is the media supposed to report on if the migrants had recently been staying out of trouble?

good grief, they whine when there is a lot of news then turn around and whine if there is hardly any news
