Leftists Co-Opt Mexico’s Caravan and Trump threatens to send military to protect border.

RUSH: Well, it looks like President Trump has been proven right again. You know, the past couple of days I have been looking at all of these reports on how the Mexican government has been organizing the buses for this caravan of people. By the way, this caravan of people is another organized protest, another organized rally, and the people in the march, the people in the caravan have nothing to do with it, other than to keep walking. But they nothing to do with organizing it. I will demonstrate this in mere moments.

But before I get to that, yesterday and today all of these reports on how the Mexican government has been organizing the buses for the caravan of people coming in, primarily from Hondurans, and they would get so far into Mexico and the Mexican government would organize buses and send them along to the next checkpoint, helping them with their transit visas.

The media told us this was preposterous. The Mexican government doesn’t send anybody to the United States. That was a big point the media made. They don’t send anybody. Mexico’s got nothing to do with this. Well, the caravan, among other things, shows that the Mexican government sure as heck does send us people they don’t want in their country, in this case they’re people from Honduras. And so once again something that Trump was mocked and ridiculed for saying has proven to be true.

… a story here, this is from the Washington Post. “That Caravan Of Migrants Trump Was Tweeting About? Mexico Stopped It.” Now, wait a minute. If Mexico wasn’t involved in the first place, how could they stop it?

“The Mexican government on Monday evening moved to break up the caravan of migrants traveling through southern Mexico, with immigration officials registering the travelers and suggesting some could receive humanitarian visas while others would have to leave Mexico.

“The caravan, estimated at more than 1,000 migrants, many from Central America, has gained increasing visibility because of tweets by President Trump that have criticized Mexico for not doing more to stop the flow of migrants to the southern border of the United States.

“The bulk of the migrant group — part of an annual caravan intended to raise awareness about the plight of people making the dangerous trek across Mexico toward the United States — is currently in the town of Matias Romero Avendano in the southern state of Oaxaca. A portion of the group rode by train to the neighboring state of Veracruz, according to caravan organizers, local officials –” A lot of organizers here for something that’s supposed to be an organic trek.

Now, I talked about this being another organized protester movement. I’m holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers a statement: “Migrant Caravan, Raising Concerns in U.S., Takes Break in Mexico.” And then there’s this. “Refugee Caravan 2018. The Struggle: Migrants in the Fight.” And it’s a memo supposedly from the migrants, from the people on the caravan to the governments of Central America, Mexico, and the United States, to the media, to human rights organizations, to civil society.

Now, the media (I’ll just share with you from the Washington Post) is assuring us that Mexico is going to stop this caravan. However, there’s a BuzzFeed reporter who is embedded in the caravan. His name is Adolfo Flores, and he is quoting one of the leaders who is saying that Mexico is doing no such thing. Mexico is not stopping anything. Mexico is just saying they’re gonna stop it but they’re not actually doing it. Here’s the quote from Adolfo Flores at BuzzFeed:

“Gina Garibo, one of the organizers for Pueblos Sin Fronteras … denied the caravan was over. ‘We have to follow through with our promise’ to help people gain asylum in the United States or Mexico, she said. Migrants would continue moving but in smaller groups than the caravan.” And BuzzFeed quotes another organizer, Alex Mensing (that’s a great Hispanic name: Alex Mensing) who said, “Don’t be fooled. The government isn’t ‘disbanding’ it.

My friends, this caravan business, look, it’s getting intricate out there, and there’s a lot of, well, deceit that’s being used. The Drive-By Media is doing everything it can to change the identity of this caravan. They’re doing everything they can to make it look like it’s disbanding, to make it look like it’s breaking off into smaller groups that are not organized and therefore don’t present any kind of a problem.

This is the issue that could do the greatest damage to destroying, have the greatest impact on destroying the American culture.

President Trump says he’ll send the military to the border to deal with the caravan if he has to.
