    Good example of blindness to "white privilege".

    ThenItalians are doing something about their own illegal immigration problem. I think that is what is lost on most people: it takes physical work to stop illegal immigrants.

    Good for the Italians.

    Wait, I thought stopping MS-13 was important?

    Trump admin was warned a policy change could strengthen MS-13. They did it anyway.

    Not a surprise at all that they will set their sights on legal immigration, that's what it has always been about and always will be about.

    Shut down illegal immigration with walls (lol) and scare them from crossing the border...then kick out as many legal immigrants as you possibly can. I'm not sure how this is going to solve a single issue for poor people in rural america but I guess it'll make them feel a lot better about themselves.

    Funny how far away trump and his supporters are from even mainstream conservatives...

    It's ok if they are white. Chain migration only refers to brown people dummy.

    The easiest solution to immigration problem is to shoot all brown people then ask questions later.

    If there are jobs people will try to come. If there isn't they won't.

    caravan of that size is a massive logistical undertaking (how are they getting shelter, food, bathrooms?)

    need to find out how it's being funded/organized

    no way it being this close to the midterm elections is a coincidence

    Since the "timing" would seem to favor trump's anti-immigrant and "build the vanity wall" messaging...

    Who said they were receiving any of those things in a organized fashion.

    The reason they form these caravans is the safety in numbers while traveling.

    I saw some articles that mentioned the stench because the caravan does not have sufficient bathroom facilities. However, I trust this conservative conspiracy site that they've at least identified the nonprofits supporting it (the rest of the article I wouldn't recommend): Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLIN), the America Immigration Council (AIC), the Refugee and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services (RICELS), and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).

    https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2018/10/caravan-swells-to-5000-vows-to-reach-u-s/

    I don't know why it's important to find out who any organizers and funders might be, but it wasn't hard. I don't think this is some kind of 'Democrat ploy' for the midterms. The caravans are going to drive more Trump voters to polls than it will any liberals. I think the political motivation is outside the 2 party system and is just trying to push awareness and urgency on the immigration issue on both parties.

    "traveling army". How very trump-like. Though you missed the opportunity to say there were middle eastern terrorists in the "army".
