Fox News Interviews Migrant In Caravan – He Says There Are Criminals 'Everywhere' VIDEO
daily caller ^ | October 23, 2018 | Benny Johnson

Fox News interviewed members of the thousands-strong migrant mass heading toward the U.S. border Tuesday morning.

The embedded reporter spoke with multiple members of the march and received some stunning answers. One migrant told the reporter that there were many "criminals" traveling in the caravan.

"Criminals are everywhere," the migrant said through an interpreter. "It's criminals in here. It is. But it is not that many. It is good people here trying to get through Mexico and then get to the United States. It doesn't mean that everybody is a criminal."

The firsthand account appears to refute the narrative that the migrant caravan is simply people searching for a better home.

In a tweet Monday, Trump said that "Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in" with the migrant caravan. (RELATED: Train Of Central American Migrants Swells In Number Despite Warnings From Trump)

Sadly, it looks like Mexico's 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. Must change laws!

Late Monday, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said she "absolutely" has evidence that "suspected or known terrorists," are attempting to enter the country illegally every day.

Trump threatened to cut off funding for Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador for letting the caravan pass through their countries. More than $500 million in U.S. funding goes to the three countries each year.

How is it that TV reporters have no problem catching up to and speaking with these drifters, but La Policia can’t do anything about it but watch?

Jeeze Louise

Why do these people think they can come here and get freebies - food, aqua, medicine, housing?

I hope President Trump puts our troops on the border - they all look like punks to me and I’d hate to be a girl among these thugs.

The unmitigated gall of these people to think they have a right to storm our border and demand to be let in.

Exactly. Every single one of them is a criminal. They are executing a plan to commit a crime, and aiding and abetting each other in committing crimes.

and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in

In one of the first pictures posted on the internet of this "caravan," there were Arabs. They were obviously Arabs and not Central Americans.

This tweet reflects both the weakness of using Tweets for policy and some of the problems with Trumpspeak. The statement reflects ‘viewing with concern’ helplessness. If this is a National Emergency then the President needs to proclaim one and start the process to hold Posse Comitatus in abeyance in effected areas. A straight up Presidential speech to the nation on TV at 8PM EST would be optimum. As it is it looks like Trump is simply hand wringing. The permanent government bureaucracies military and DHS and DOJ are not going to take any initiative. Trump must have learned by now that you have to kick the bureaucracies in their collective as*es. He cannot wait until the invaders are at the Rio Grand.

"Trump threatened to cut off funding for Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador for letting the caravan pass through their countries. "

That money must flow through Executive Branch hands at some point. Just shut it all off -- with a single Executive Order.

Just DO It!!

The commie and Nazi student snowflakes are coming down on President Trump because he “has no proof” (about criminals in the Honduran Toilet Paper Express. Strange. Their bimbo, “Doctor Fraud” didn’t have any proof either and that didn’t seem to bother them much. HYPOCRITES!!!

He meant that there are criminals everywhere. It’s like when someone asks if there’s corruption in one locale, and someone answers, “There’s corruption everywhere.” But yeah, chances are that there are criminals in that mob heading north.

This is the Central American land version of Cuba’s Mariel Boatlift. Central Americal emptied their jails & told them to march to the US.
