..............MIGRANTS

TRUMP, on a caravan of Central American migrants trying to reach the U.S.: "A lot of money's been passing through people to come up and try to get to the border by Election Day because they think that's a negative for us." — Montana rally Thursday.

TRUMP on the caravan: "Can you believe this, and what Democrats are allowing to be done to our Country?" — tweet Thursday.

THE FACTS: Trump was riffing off of an unsupported allegation by Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., that people were being paid in Honduras to join the caravan and "storm the border @ election time," as Gaetz tweeted.

Gaetz tweeted a video on Wednesday of men handing out money to people standing in a line, without evidence that it illustrated his claim. Questioned about the video's origin, Gaetz posted a correction on Twitter, saying, "This video was provided to me by a Honduran government official. Thus, I believed it to be from Honduras."

Neither man has produced evidence that the migrants are being paid to come to the border.

Mexico's government says migrants with proper documents can enter Mexico and those who don't either have to apply for refugee status or face deportation..................
