    Speaking of biased news. Why do you think it's being 'supported' by anyone.Why do you think it isn't just a ragtag bunch of migrants looking a better life? Too much fox news makes you look like an idiot.

    The thing is; if a bunch of Hondurans took money from Soros to go on a trek across CA and Mexico, that would pretty much mean they're desperate for money which would make them just a ragtag bunch of migrants in search of a better life.

    It's bizarre how Soros has become such a boogeyman to the Right -- although his Jewish roots defo have a bearing on that.

    But the funny thing is he's more interested in bipartisanship than anything else. He doesn't even particularly like the Dems but more views them as the lessor of two evils.

    Aren't Trump's lies enough without delving into that nonsense.



    I literally just commented and you literally just replied to that comment. Don't start conflating the two.

    I won't reply to FaRT for other reasons of which I have explained to him multiple times.

    No this is not the part where it starts to get unhinged, this is the part where I ask you seriously where do you think the funding for this catastrophe is coming from.

    Take a look at the pictures, do these people look like a bunch of rag tag immigrants. Not to mention the logistics of putting this together. As for who I think is funding this, I have no clue but it is obvious that that this group is well financed.

    What funding?? You say that like it's an accepted fact that it is being funded by an outside source(s).

    I'm not a mind reader, if that's what you're intimating then you're going to have to divulge your source, backing, and basis for that opinion.


    Edit: Oh I see... You've looked at some pictures and decided on the basis of those that this group has financing. How thoroughly scientific of you. No subjective influence there at all.

    those who are well-read know that the caravan is funded by pueblo sin fronteras (people without borders).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centra...grant_caravans

    The Central American migrant caravans, also known as the Viacrucis del Migrante ("Migrant's Way of the Cross"), are annual migrant caravans since 2017 of Central Americans organized by Pueblo Sin Fronteras.

    Pueblo Sin Fronteras was formed in the early 2000s. The group builds shelters for refugees on the trek north to the Mexican-American border and provides legal
    council to them. Activists affiliated with the group are present in the United States, where the organization actively raises funds and organizes protest actions against U.S. immigration policy.

    An immigration rights group
    known for organizing several high profile migrant caravans in Mexico and Central America. The organization's efforts to facilitate immigration and calls for open borders.

    "Well financed"? I think in all my years reading TD posts, this one rates as the ultimate in stupidity and ignorance.

    Your vision and mine of well financed travelers probably are a bit different.

    "migrants in search of a better life", joining a caravan organized by pueblo sin fronteras (people without borders).

    so, what do you think, fred:

    should u.s. immigration officials open the border when the job-seeking mob reaches the u.s., rather than asking to see passports and visas?

    Why is it always Fox you fall back on as a source for conservative news, in this case Fox has nothing to do with my thinking.

    your posts echo fox bs.

    So you looked at all the photos and films of the caravan and came up with the idea that these people are being funded ? Just admit it; you watch fox news and like what they tell you.

    Trump lives in a fantasy world. Reality isn't his strong suit.

    Now you are insinuating I take stock in what Trump has to say about everything, fact is a small amount of critical thinking leads one to believe thousands of people didn't just randomly decide they would get together and start walking to the U.S. how this was organized I have no clue but I am quite sure it wasn't a spontaneous gathering.
    You however are free to believe as you wish.

    there's never been a caravan this big before.

    usually, as you probably know, economic migrants pay organized crime smuggling gangs to arrange trips across parts of the border that aren't well-protected and then play cat and mouse with border patrol.

    though, this caravan has 7,000 people and still in southern mexico. by the time it reaches the u.s. border there could be 10,000-20,000 in the job-seeking mob.

    trying to scatter at the last minute to find holes in the border probably won't work.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hun...?setDevice=amp

    Elizabeth Oglesby, a professor at the University of Arizona's Center for Latin American Studies, said people join caravans like this because it's a way to make the journey in a relatively safe manner and avoid having to pay thousands of dollars to smugglers.
