Not only that, it is probably illegal.
...A large group from multiple nations likely to arrive a very few weeks before the US midterm election ... why does this smell like a choreographed Prog-funded political stunt?
Nikole Hannah-Jones, a leading author behind the infamous 1619 Project and a prominent face of DEI and progressive education politics, has found herself under fire after enrolling her own daughter in a struggling public school, a decision critics say put ideology ahead of her child’s education. Hannah-Jones said she hoped the move would draw attention to the school’s problems and help spur improvement. Instead, the experiment reportedly backfired when her daughter’s education began to suffer, the sort of sacrifice that is much easier to romanticize when it is someone else’s child making it.
Now, the story has become even more damning. Newly surfaced audio reportedly captures Hannah-Jones’s daughter blasting her mother for putting ideology ahead of her education.

Her 16-year-old daughter, Najya Hannah-Jones, responded that she should not have been expected to sacrifice her own education for a broader political statement.Quote“Why? Why? It makes no sense. You're talking about, 'oh, I'm just going to give you the worst just because it's not fair that you...' I didn't ask to be born. All you're supposed to do is just, like, put me in a good school,” Najya Hannah-Jones replied. “Like, oh, well, I didn't want to put you in a great school and have you have advantages over other kids. Isn't that what you want? Isn't that what you want me to have? Is that not a normal thing you want me to have? You don't want me to...”
“You do, though. But you do. You have advantages. You have so many advantages,” her mom said.
Najya countered that a solid education is not just another privilege, but an advantage that shapes nearly everything that follows. Hannah-Jones then argued that her daughter had still managed to reach the same level of academic success as her classmates, an assertion Najya immediately challenged.
“I got through it because... Well, not even, though. Like, I... Everyone last year, I had my grade come out. I remember crying because everyone else's, like, score was so good,” Najya said. “And I was just like, how is it so easy for everyone else but me? So, no, I don't think that I got through it. I think I just tried my hardest.”
“Everyone's not your kid,” she added.
It really has been a while since we've had a migrant caravan on the way to the US border. I can't remember the last one that made it through. I don't think there have been any since Trump took office. ...
...
But this week there are fresh reports that caravan of several hundred people has entered Mexico from Central America with its sights set on the US border.
...
Newsweek says the Caravan started out in Honduras on September 20th.

As usual, these are economic migrants, not legitimate asylum seekers.
