Are people really scared of those poor women and children?

Some apparently are. What I find more astounding is that debate rages as to whether Dems or GOP are 'behind' the caravans. Neither is remotely true, of course, but many Americans can't absorb an international tragedy, with complex causes, unless it's in narrow, domestic terms.

But such a movement had to start somewhere, no? Was it organized? Was it grass root? Social media? How did it begin? Just been curious and haven't paid attention to what the media has had to say about it.

What started black people moving north? Did someone have to tell them to?

Now THAT is an excellent point, worthy of elaboration. Conditions in the Jim Crow South, for blacks, weren't that dissimilar from the violence and deprivation that's driving the 'caravans.' Thank you !

First and foremost, I am not saying that times and life are not hard for these people and that they don't deserve the right to life and liberty, I am asking what was it that brought them all together NOW? Again. It's not like this hasn't been going on down there for a long time.

Of course the media are obsessed are obsessed with the caravan. The chances of Trump not doing something insanely outrageous that sells a boatload of newspapers are slim to none.

Remember accuracy or truth isn't in the list of ingredients - he's going to be spewing as much divisive bullshit as he has opportunity for. Media will pounce on anything that sells, especially if time-consuming validation isn't involved.

We should all switch off our TVs until election night. We should be getting out the vote rather than watching pointless caravan coverage.

I'm actually glad they are. It's a nonsense issue and ignoring it will only make it worse (I'm referring to courting people with the ability to see what's right in front of them, not Trump sycophants because they're lost–literally and figuratively).

It's almost like you expect them to be discussing the lies being told abt healthcare and bogus tax cuts or how nationalism hurts/threatens our security or trump claiming there are no tarriffs after announcing tarriffs or explaining who the super pacs behind the commercials.

and the reason is the timing of this large one. Unfortunately for the vulnerable in the caravan the money being paid is dirty.

I strongly believe this somewhat was manufactured. Dirty plays like this abound in dictatorships.
