On one hand, what appears to us is a caravan of Central American migrants, desperately trying to reach the U.S. in order to apply for asylum.

On the other hand, this is a caravan that is traveling outside the usual time period that migration occurs. Also, there is the timing of this caravan. It just happens to be occurring during the run-up to the mid-term elections.

I haven't seen any evidence that would lead me to believe the caravan is bogus. But, you have to keep in mind the coincidences of the timing issues.
