The Migrant Caravan May Give Republicans The Final Midterm Push They Need

The more illegal entries such as the caravan are forced upon our borders, the more Americans will demand law and order.

It started with several hundred people in Honduras on Oct. 12th. In ten days, the “migrant caravan” of foreign citizens claiming they plan to stampede U.S. borders swelled to more than 7,000 people. They have marched approximately 445 miles across Honduras, Guatemala, and into Mexico, with apparently no resistance from those governments.

Many have seen the images of a seemingly endless flood of people as part of this “caravan.” They may still be a thousand miles away from the closest U.S.-Mexico border crossing point, but we can already feel their presence.

Some important questions deserve answers: How have thousands of people, including some women and children, but mostly young men, been able to cover 445 miles in 10 days and still going strong? Why now? Who organized them? Who provided funding?

Many say “poverty and violence” in countries like Honduras and El Salvador are forcing people to leave. While that explanation is tenable, it doesn’t explain the timing of this so-called caravan, because people in these countries have experienced poverty and violence for decades. And they weren’t storming U.S. borders all that time.
