Others lined up at a medical aid station mostly for attention to their battered feet.

How does that happen when they’re ridding buses? (An’t no one buying this group is walking 1,000 miles)

It certainly sounds like they are riding between overnight destinations. Maybe there are a few actual reporters embedded with or visiting the caravan this time and so they have to walk a bit more than usual.

Coming in a small group with a coyote sounds more dangerous for the “migrants”. Perhaps they are afraid of all the horrible things that PTrump has said happens during the transporting and attempted invasions.

Congress could stop almost all of this if they wanted to. Sadly they don’t.

"Others lined up at a medical aid station mostly for attention to their battered feet."

Having carried a ruck sack for many years in the military I can tell you there is NO, I say again, NO, short term solution for "battered feet" (I assume this means blisters) except staying off them for several days. I have witnessed many big, strong, ruff n tuff, young men, whimpering along side a trail or road unable to keep up due to "battered feet".

Any extended cross country movement by foot requires good, well broken in, boots or shoes, a change of clean socks every day or two, plenty of foot powder, and lots of training. Feet are more important than a strong back. These caravan people, and I'm sure there are many, will not be able to keep up by foot.

But I forgot, there are trucks, buses, and POVs available for these lame fools.

For any caravan lurkers out there - remember, change your socks everyday and use plenty of medicated foot powder.
