NBC News: Five myths about the Honduran Caravan Debunked
NBSEE News ^ | 1-22-2018 | Julia Ainsley and Daniella Silva and Ken Dilanian

Posted on 10/22/2018 2:51:53 PM PDT by tcrlaf

A caravan of thousands of Honduran migrants is headed north in hopes of crossing the U.S. border. You may have heard some scary things about it. What's true and what's false? Here are five allegations bouncing around the internet that are definitely "alternative facts."

MYTH 1: It's being funded by Democrats.

Trump said at a campaign rally on Thursday that "a lot of money has been passing to people" traveling north from Honduras. A Republican from Florida, Rep. Matt Gaetz shared a short video that Trump later promoted of migrants being given cash and suggested that they were being funded by left-leaning activist and investor George Soros.

THE FACTS: There is no evidence the caravan is being led by anyone other than Hondurans.

The #1 Myth about Comcast... Comcast respects its customer base. Wrong! NBC, MSNBC are Comcast. Fact: Comcast despises its conservatives describers.

We the people need to meet them at the border and tell them we do not want them here, they have burned our flag and they wave theirs proudly- they need to return to the country they are loyal to.

How many of us want the border secured? We need to go to the border and tell our elected representatives and the illegals that we are fed up. Enough is enough. Really.

Middle Eastern and African immigrants have routinely crossed illegally across the U.S.-Mexico border for years, but their numbers pale in comparison to the number of Central Americans.

After many years of claiming it is not true that illegals from the Middle East and Africa cross this border, the admission is thrown out there. Amazing. Of course all of us that have been fighting to get this border secure have known for years we likely have terrorists crossing...and the media and lefties have acted as though we are crazy to suggest such a thing.

Does anyone believe we do not have terrorists here that crossed this open border to get here?

This reporter so casually says the numbers of possible terrorists pales in comparison to others that enter illegally. What is a good number of possible terrorists crossing this border?

No illegals should be crossing this border, zero- from anywhere! Zero is how many illegals I am okay with.

We don’t have journalism, well maybe a tiny bit here and there- but actual journalism is scarce as hens teeth. What we have is propaganda. That is what we have.

Asking the Marxist “liberation theology” Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) anything about what Trump or immigration/security officials say, is like asking George Wallace and his men how they like dogs and water hoses.

WOLA is/was a supporter of the FMLN and Sandinistas (FSLN) during the 70’s, 80’s and even till today. They were once led by the Rev. Joseph Eldridge, who became a chaplain at American University, following the ouster of fellow Marxist Prof. Brady Tyson (Nasty red bastard - thrown out of Brazil, friend of Communist Cuba and many communist “Latin American” supporter fronts).

And as for the MSNBC’s bullshit statistical manipulationg as to how many terrorists of all kinds are in the caravan(s), remember, it only took 19 terrorists to kill 3,000 American and foreign guest workers on 9/11, as well as American pilots and all their passengers.

If you want to know why MSNBC is EVIL at its purest, just analysis the crap they put out to smear Trump, Kavanaugh, Bolton, Sanders, etc. The words “honest”, “factual”, and “ethical” are not to be found in the MSNBC handbook of professional journalism.

Wonder why?

The 6th Myth is that their “Latino News” is totally unbiased and only works with real facts...and has better sources and resources than the President of the United States.

Lack of evidence is not proof. There is no debunking here. Only the naive would be convinced of anything in this stupid article!

It’s so painfully obvious at this point that it’s laughable. Not even a liberal woild use CNN as a source.

The Latin Invading Expeditionary Force has now reached the size of a military DIVISION. The Mexicans are apparently giving them maps of Texas. It is said that enough Mexicans are joining them as they march north that they will number FIVE MILITARY DIVISIONS by the time they reach America! Can they be stopped??

Please explain

The famous sand bag of Vice President Dan Quayle at a school spelling drill and the teacher handed him a card with potato misspelled as potatoe, he became an instant celebrity and lost his career.

I am getting old and remember a lot of unimportant things.

Pay no attention to that little man over there.

Why not just say “is not!” and have done.
