    What do you think about this? It's said to currently be about 7,000 people.

    Mexico said that they won't even go to the hospitals with foot and shoulder injuries from their journey. They are afraid of being deported so they keep making their way despite their injuries.

    I think it's heartbreaking.

    Organized by Republicans to make a scene at the border and fabricate news stories to panic their base...as they don't have anything else to run on.

    Trump is going to cut off aid to the countries these people are fleeing.
    That'll work.
    Here's what the aid is for:

    Honduras
    Guatemala
    El Salvador

    And you assume the worse, without any data.
    We don't just transfer millions of dollars from the U.S.Treasury into the Treasury of these countries.

    Completely orchestrated. And they're supposed to be at the American border... right in time for elections. Another media created spectacle to tug at people's heart strings while creating a controversy the media can exploit... which is not to say there are not terrible problems in these South American countries, many of which can be blamed on the US/CIA which works with the drug cartels and rebel groups that are brutalizing people. So yeah, I see both sides of the story, but I don't buy this whole caravan thing or the timing of it.

    Its not a media created spectacle its a spectacle created for the media to report on. You are spot on with your assessment of the timing although I disagree with you about the motivation behind it. I don't want to get into a debate over it. I do want to point out that whatever the motivation behind it these poor people are being used as pawns in a big game and in the end its gonna suck for them.

    80% of the problem in Central America involves being forced to fight the US drug war for them.

    The timing does seem suspicious. At the very least it's going to be a lot of what he hear about til the election.

    I say it is paid for and organized by the Republicans to make Trump look good right before the election. He already said he thinks Middle Easterners are among them and he'll send the military to seal off the border. There isn't one particle to indicate evidence Democrats are behind this show.

    It has been an on going problem since Reagan dispatched Ollie North to run guns down to the Contras, and start a war in El Salvador, and have drug planes take off and land on an American owned ranch in Costa Rica.

    Do you guys who believe this is orchestrated by one or the other political parties in the US ever require proof for your assertions, or are you completely comfortable basing your world perspective on what you feel must be true?

    Just curious, asking for a friend

    I think some people rely more on intuition and common sense instead of just going along with whatever the media says.

    There isn't a shred of evidence that either party is responsible, but it's fun to toss back the same stupid accusations made against the Democrats.
    The caravan was organized by Bartolo Fuentes, a former Honduran congressman. He's been arrested.
