https://nypost.com/2018/10/22/trump-claims-migrant-caravan-contains-unknown-middle-easterners/President Trump on Monday claimed without offering any evidence that criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are among the growing caravan of Central American migrants heading to the United States.
Sadly, it looks like Mexicos Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy (sic). Must change laws!, Trump wrote on Twitter, without clarifying what he meant.
Trump says US will 'turn away' migrant caravan at border
His claim was quickly called out on the social messaging site.
Total BS! You have no idea who is in this caravan except Central Americans fleeing oppression and starvation. Why not show them some sympathy and ease their burden, wrote westend999 on Twitter.
Another blamed Trump for spreading racial hatred.
Unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. Obviously all brown-skinned people look alike to you, you racist liar. But, hey, keep stoking hate, Ellen Hopkins wrote.
Another user pointed out the absurdity of blending into the group only to wind up in an immigration camp.

Now India isn't precisely the Middle-East, but the Mr. Orange Tiny Hands many be conflating the intelligence he gets.
