Migrant Caravan Points Way to GOP Midterm Success
American Thinker.com ^ | October 22, 2018 | Brian C. Joondeph

Caravan refers to, “A group of travelers, as merchants or pilgrims, journeying together for safety in passing through deserts or hostile territory.” Conjuring up images dating back to biblical days of people braving hardship during their travels, the media has coopted the term for political benefit to describe a horde of illegal immigrants heading to the U.S. just ahead of a major election.

They are neither merchants nor pilgrims. I doubt they are facing severe hardship during their journey as most of their basic needs are being met courtesy of wealthy benefactors.

The current caravan is a group of four- to seven-thousand Hondurans, traveling from Honduras to the United States. Google Maps shows the distance between Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, and Brownsville, Texas, the most logical border city, as about 1,600 miles, a 515-hour trek on foot.

Assuming generously that the caravan walks 10 hours a day, it will take the group 46 days to reach the U.S., long after the upcoming midterm election. It’s also safe to assume that they are riding most of the way, on trucks or busses.

Interestingly, the caravan consists primarily of military-aged men, as opposed to women and children, as this photo from the Daily Mail demonstrates. Women and children are few, and mainly being used as photo props. The migrant hordes entering Europe from the Middle East were also primarily young men.

Can we say “MOB” This is clearly funded by the left, Soros Clinton and probably the imposter and friends along with the EU globalists. They are setting up Trump right before the elections. Daring him to do something rash where they get hurt or killed and now they have what they longed for

Looking at this, one gets a sense of deja vu with respect to what happened in Europe in 2015.

I have now heard several prominent politicians ask the question:"who is funding this?"

I believe it is being funded and backed. I won't say Soros and others, but whoever it is needs to brought down.

We’ll just have to assume Jeff Sessions is digging into the “funding and supporting election interference” part of this story - he’s still alive, isn’t he?

This should be THE issue in the election. Every Senatorial and Congressional candidate needs to pound this message home day and night until election day. The Democratic mob is inviting a massive criminal mob to invade America. Both mobs need to be stopped.

If the CIA cannot tell us who is funding this then they are useless.

Yes they call enforcing the law "doing something rash". But the "rash" thing has already been done. By our enemies on the left. To us. And we do nothing but write about it.

If this invasion force is selectively damaged by the U.S. military, which has both logistical and technological means to BE selective, the American voter who elected Trump will back him up no matter how loudly the media, left wing lawyers, the congress and the courts scream. That is the reality.

The alternative is to open a floodgate of weekly and monthly invasions from South America which will make the one which hit Western Europe look like an extended family picnic by comparison.

We are fast approaching ground zero regarding the undeclared war being waged against us by South American countries for the past 40 years. It has to stop.

Violence used in the service of defending a sovereign nation against forcible invasion by barbarian hordes is historically, constitutionally, and morally justified.

If it is the Clintons and Soros — and I thing it is, then they are aiding and abetting. They are committing a crime and should be prosecuted.

My guess: someone attached to the Soros, the Rothschilds and and Payseurs are behind this. They’re the only ones who can afford the high cost of this caravan.

Why are we having to assume this? Why are there no pictures of buses? No scenes of people loading in and out of their transportation? Where is the media asking basic questions to find this out?

The lack of basic information about this “caravan” is strange. 5000 people and we don’t really know how they’re getting from point A to point B. A massive, expensive logistics operation and we don’t really know who’s organizing or funding it.

The lack of basic info just seems odd.

It does seem very odd. And why aren’t their pics of them eating or going to bathroom. That’s a hell of a lot of people.

Delberate media blackout is why we don’t see the trucks, buses & trains bringing these invaders to our border.

MSM and the left are guilty of treason!

I see this as a weird miscalculation.

Just like with Kavanaugh, the Left adopts a strategy which has a high risk of backfiring. Sling outrageous lies at a good man? Harass his family? Unleash craziness to disrupt a time-honored and important government tradition? Hey, you just might energize the Republican base ...

Now they are staging an invasion of the country. An advancing mob. An army, really. With clear support from unknown outsiders who want to eliminate our national borders and threaten our sovereignty. Is this a good idea?? Will this — you know — energize the Republican base?

These people are stupid.

The slobs in the earlier images of those "women & children", could not walk the length of an all you can eat buffet table without huffing & puffing.

When the persons running this crime brigade are no longer able to maintain control of the info & images getting out, the parasites will actually be walking. That's the main reason they need relatively fit people for planned invasion.

Yeah, exactly. Have you seen a single pic of a port-a-potty?

Question: If the Democrats are so sure they will win back the House, why do they need a show of this this size and scale? This reeks of desperation on the left.

Its another well-organized political/media event by the highest powers of Leftism, whose specific aim is to influence US politics.
