Just as an update, making a new reply so I know you'll see this instead of editing and maybe missing it:

I've stated that previously. I think that the people in the caravan have valid reasons to be fleeing their home countries even if the caravan is being used for something different. These are desperate people to risk everything to try and come to the US in hopes of a better and safer life.

What the president of Honduras told me is that the caravan was organized by leftist organizations, political activists within Honduras, and he said it was being funded by outside groups, and even from Venezuela," Pence told Fox News in an interview late Friday in Yuma, Arizona. "So the American people, I think, see through this – they understand this is not a spontaneous caravan of vulnerable people"

Huh. We'll see, yeah? The President of Honduras has had two days to refute that. He hasn't.

That puts things in an interesting light.

Thanks. Didn't I agree that the caravan was probably "coyotes" or NGO organized? I read the related article about one group that went 62 miles in a day and the quoted Pence as saying human traffickers ("coyotes") were involved in organizing the caravan. I think the splintering is indicative of the NGOs stepping back now and the "coyotes" taking over the leading of various groups.
