Americans WANT U.S. Government to Stop Migrant Caravan at Border, Poll ShowsOctober. The migrant caravan originated in Honduras and is now making its way through Mexico toward the U.S. As reported by MRCTV, the migrant caravan includes countless prior deportees, not just women and children fleeing poverty and gang violence in Central America. It has also been reported that there are migrants from the Middle East that have made their way into the caravan. "The statement by the DHS reinforced an earlier tweet from President Trump, in which he maintained that the caravan included 'criminals and unknown Middle Easterners,'" reports Fox News.
