This article repeats what we already know, but in a concise, sensible, intelligible way that makes it a good article to pass on to those who only know current events through glancing at the MSM.

Illegal Immigrant Caravan: Real Election Meddling By The Left

FTA:
The “caravan” of illegal immigrants from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras now making its way to the U.S. border is no accident. The timing, planning and financing of this tragic parade has but one intent: to disrupt and influence our midterm elections. Is this what the left means by “election meddling”?

The heart-rending shots of dirt-poor people from Central America have been making the evening news, which pretends this is some kind of spontaneous movement to come to the U.S. rather than an organized attempt at disruption.

Women and children have been shoved to the fore of the columns to hide the fact that many of the 4,000 to 10,000-strong throng of people are in fact working-age males, not families.
...
And what if they do make it to the border? No doubt, President Trump will have bolstered security significantly. He already has said he will send the U.S. military to the border. Will one or more troublemakers in the group try to provoke violence, as they already did in Mexico? No doubt, the leftists and the sympathetic media would like that. For them, chaos isn’t a tragedy, it’s a strategy.

In the case of the media, they’ve covered this caravan as if it were a second Children’s Crusade, not a leftist political stunt. They’ve done little if any digging into the origins and financing of the caravan, pretending instead that it’s an honest response to “gang violence” or the three countries’ failure to create economic opportunities for their own citizens.

Americans shouldn’t fall for the lie.
...
We need to send a message to the world: You’re welcome here to visit or to immigrate through legal channels. But we won’t tolerate further violations of our immigration laws. We can’t allow large groups of people, even if some are desperate, to violate our borders. It’s time to build that wall, stop all illegal immigration, and restore our border.
