Whatever happen to that caravan, anyway?

I think most people are saying that Trump has no evidence to support his claims.

Uhm didn't the DHS claim there was that many as well back in mid November? and now they are claiming up to 600.
DHS has paid informants embedded in the Caravan, and they are intercepting WhatsApp messages to find out what they are planning to do.

Such as entering the country illegally etc. This caravan is different from previous caravans based on their actions alone. IE Running for it at the border, those types are going to be mainly criminals because they know they have no chance if they actually do it the legal way and apply.


In reality, of the k's that apply for asylum every year, 90% are rejected because their is not enough supporting evidence that their lives are truly in danger.

The majority of the rejections fall under the family based applications which can have up to an 8+ year long wait.
The second most reason for rejections is escaping poverty. Which again, wrong class of visa's, they would need to apply for workers visa's.

So out of this 5K in the migrant van, we can expect the same ratio or less to actually be approved. The majority are trying to be with family here or escaping poverty. So with that in mind, around 500 will actually be able to enter on the asylum visa.
