They are still doing it and they are now setting their sites on our next candidate.

They are mostly women and children fleeing violence and gangs.

They are traveling as a group precisely to avoid sexual violence from unsavory characters along the way.

Many will stop someplace in Mexico.

Most plan to make it to the US Border where they will present themselves as refugees to our Border Patrol.

For this "threat" we have to send the National Guard to the border?

What a pile of crap.

BTW, this is an annual thing and Mexico USED to do more to deter the refugees... this year it is reported that they have given the refugees a "transit pass" because Mexico is pissed at Trump's rhetoric.

The "caravan" are vulnerable people looking for safety and Donny Two-scoops could give less than one fuck about their humanity.

from Europe or Russia... He would send the National Guard to protect them in the dangerous journey and roll out a red carpet on the border.

They were outraged, saying that they took care of each other, and they were especially caring of the women and children.
