This caravan is fear-mongering for votes.
Republicans are stronger on immigration than Democrats so it would make sense with an election looming and numbers looking bad to focus on immigration. Its a smart strategy for Trump and the Republicans because Democrats don't really have a message on immigration and Republicans do.
Anyone who thinks/thought this was some Democrat conspiracy to shift the focus to a topic the electorate thinks they are weak on needs their head examined.
Why did the Caravan form now around election time?
If you've ever spent time in Mexico and Central America in the summer you'd know why they form in the spring and fall.
Its much ado about nothing but a chance for the GOP to stir the pot hoping to shift the narrative and drum up some votes. Its the EXACT same reason they floated another tax cut a couple of weeks ago.
Democrats on the other hand should be thankful its falling apart sooner than later as they have almost no message on immigration the party can coalesce around.
Prepare for the conspiracy the Democrats are infecting the caravan to slow it down...
