NBC News reports that the Department of Homeland Security has had paid informants inside the migrant caravan to keep an eye on their activity. DHS has also been monitoring the communications used to organize the caravan:

The Department of Homeland Security is gathering intelligence from paid undercover informants inside the migrant caravan that is now reaching the California-Mexico border as well as monitoring the text messages of migrants, according to two DHS officials.

The 4,000 migrants, mainly from Honduras, have used WhatsApp text message groups as a way to organize and communicate along their journey to the California border, and DHS personnel have joined those groups to gather that information…

On Monday, DHS officials told reporters that their intelligence on Sunday night had indicated that a group of migrants wanted to run through the car lanes of a border crossing near San Diego. Customs and Border Protection shut down all northbound lanes of the crossing from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. as a result. However, the ambush was never attempted.

Yesterday DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen revealed on Twitter that lanes at the San Ysidro Port of Entry were closed after DHS learned some migrants were planning to rush the border. I guess we now know how DHS got that information:

That’s a good thing, not a reprehensible thing.

We should know what percentage of people are criminals, who is organizing this, who is paying for it.

Could be disinformation - would be excellent to get the migrant group now suspecting who in there is an informant.

Indeed, the sat part of this lede is that the NBC collection of ill-educated clowns actually think that this is a bad thing.

Journalism: When one is so dense that they cannot even qualify for a studies major.

“The total number of migrants waiting to make asylum claims will then reach approximately 10,000 people.”

You mean waiting to go on welfare. The Mexican government ought to start sending buses to Tijauna and tell them, “get on, you’re going home”.

A U.S. concerned about it’s people’s security and the meaning of it’s sovereign border would do no less.

Yes. Which is why they are NOT Honduras’ “poor”. Whatever they are. The most heartbreaking thing I have ever seen in my life was not the orphanage I saw of 500 5 year old boys but rather upon seeing that wondering “Where are all the 5 year old girls?”

Lawn care, roofing, espionage...

Is there anything migrants can't do?

One always to inject spies with the enemy to gather information!

Well done!

Of course, MSM doesn’t want to report this at all, until one of ours shoots one of theirs (God forbid)! Then they will finally report on the border crisis!

Oh, and is this invasion force really down to 4000 now, instead of the previously reported 10,000+, or are the media lying to us again?
