Not to bright it seems these working class republicans."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

In 1994 Bill Clinton sent troops to the border. The left was silent.
In 2006 George W. Bush sent troops to the border. The left was silent.
In 2011 Barack Obama sent troops to the border. The left was silent.
In 2018 Donald Trump sent troops to the border. The left goes into meltdown mode.

Hey are you going to watch the Border Live show on Discovery?
Discovery's next show will be live from the US-Mexico border
New York (CNN)With immigration debates dominating the national conversation, the Discovery channel is introducing a six-part series that will air live from the U.S.-Mexico border region.
"Border Live," announced on Friday, will premiere in the first week of December. Lilia Luciano will report live from a different location along the border each week and Bill Weir will host the show from a studio in New York.
"There's so much conversation about what happens" along the border, Luciano said in an interview with CNN Business. "But it's rare to be able to immerse yourself for a lengthy period of time there."
Discovery executives said "Border Live" will not be a "political" show. But with President Trump stoking fears about migrants and making more promises about a southern border wall, it is bound to get attention. In the crowded cable TV space, that's surely the goal.
Nancy Daniels, the executive in charge of Discovery, said the series "will turn the lens on a group of people who live and work along the border that you wouldn't otherwise hear from."

[*Story continues at link above*]
If you just Google "caravan" and click "News" you'll see that there continues to be a slew of stories and from sources like NPR, CBS, NBC and the New York Times so it isn't just the handful of conservative news outlets covering it either.
