The election is in November, and it just so happens that every two years, a huge caravan of Central and South Americans starts heading north. Why does it only happen every two years?
My theory is that Republicans go and pay people to come north. It is a small investment to scare Americans about it becoming less white. It also becomes more Christian, but that never seems to get mentioned.
Remember the “caravan?” That train of impoverished immigrants trudging up through Central America, supposedly to “invade” our southern border? This was the endlessly hyped, incendiary story repeated over and over on Fox News in the weeks leading up to the 2018 elections. Amazingly, the story all but vanished into thin air after Republicans were effectively blown out by voters that November. After that, suddenly no one at Fox News seemed to care much about the caravan.
The caravan hype owed itself directly to Donald Trump, who has continually promoted this “invasion” rhetoric toward immigrants since 2015.
The caravan will often disappear into thin air as the election gets very close, and there is no longer a need to keep paying people to march north.
