How could it not help Republicans...I mean liberal/progressive/socialist democrats want open borders. All the Central Americans who want to enter the US should be directed to sanctuary state of California.
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?
The benefit would be the ability to Trump and republicans as they struggle to deal with this invasion as evil cold hearted racists and anti immigrant right before midterm elections...

This is either a liberal playing dumb, or just a dumb liberal. Hard to tell these days. My money is always on the former. They are divisive and organized. They know exactly what they are doing.

Libs are swinging for the long term fences. They know what lies ahead, and it's not pretty unless they secure a significant game changer.
Ironically these mass migrations are most likely due to the efforts of the US to destabilize various countries throughout the world.
I suppose Trump will gain popularity by using the US military to slaughter the migrants. Why not? Trump is perfectly happy to allow the murder of American citizens just as long as the country committing the murder spends a few bucks on American goods.
All I’m saying is if you want to go the conspiracy route just look at who is being riled up/energized by this...
Far more likely to be an anti-immigrant false flag of sorts. 7k is a pretty meaningless number to the larger debate and scale of the problem if it is Soros trying to flood voter rolls.

I’m not being a smart alec here. Is this how you would handle it? Allow all these people to cross into our country illegally? And then who pays for this tent city especially since we are still supporting the victims of hurricane Michael.
The world will be watching what actions America takes to address this problem.I'll opt for the Christian and morally right course of action. Whats your solution?
No one's surprised at American duplicity these days ….no one.
I still don't see where a horde of 20k "traipsed" through the US to Canada. If there had been a horde traipsing their way through the US they would have been stopped.
They were individuals, and some were small family groups, that made their way up to Canada with no fanfare, how were we supposed to know that was their destination, until the got there?
Some were deported back to their home countries, per the article. Why did you deport them to their home countries when, as far as it appears, all you had to do was send them to the last country that had allowed them entry and allowed them to stay. Unless, these were some that had furtively sneaked into our country and then furtively sneaked up to Canada .. again, if we'd known then it stands to reason they would have been stopped.
Seems you've had a very, very minor taste of what it's like to deal with people showing up uninvited at your doorstep, whether legal or not, and, you seem very outraged about it .. well... welcome to our world.

It's 1,500 miles from Guatemala to the U.S. border. And even farther from Honduras.
People in good shape can walk maybe 15-20 miles a day... if they're well fed and cared for. (Who's feeding them and caring for them, providing them places to sleep, bathrooms etc.? 7,000 people is a LOT of people)
According to media stories, they just crossed the Guatemala/Mexican border in the last few days.
So it will take them at least 2-3 months to get to the U.S. border. If they walk 7 days a week, never slacken their pace or pause a day to rest.
The answer to your question above, is left as an exercise for the class.
