CARAVAN WATCH: The caravan of Central American migrants, which has grown to approximately 7,200 people, according to United nations estimates, is reportedly in southern Mexico, about 1,000 miles from the closest U.S. border ... The caravan's journey and dramatic growth has generated headlines, attracted President Trump's wrath and reignited the immigration debate less than two weeks before Nov. 6 midterm elections. Trump has blamed Democrats for what he says are weak immigration laws, and he claimed that MS-13 gang members and unknown "Middle Easterners" were hiding among the migrants.
The president later acknowledged there was "no proof" of the claim Middle Easterners were in the crowd. But he tweeted Wednesday that the U.S. "will never accept people coming into our Country illegally!" Extreme heat and the political wear and tear of the long journey may be whittling down the migrant caravan. Officials say nearly 1,700 migrants have already dropped out and applied for asylum in Mexico.
