    Luis Assardo, a Guatemalan journalist, said in an email that he spoke to residents of Chiquimula and was told that some local merchants had given the migrants money while others had offered food, clothing or other help.

    First of all, the video Matt Gaetz posted was not shot in Honduras, which he later acknowledged. Google Maps and Facebook photos place the storefront seen in the video, an auto parts shop, in Chiquimula, Guatemala. As Kirk Semple of The New York Times reported, the migrant caravan was formed last week in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and has made its way north through Guatemala.

    The video appears to show each migrant receiving a single bill, so the largest amount they could have received was 200 quetzales, equal to about $26. Migrants in the caravan told The New York Times that the Guatemalans generally handed out one or two quetzals, or about 13 to 26 cents, undercutting Trump’s claim of “a lot of money” exchanging hands.

    It's a lie, that's why it's not possible. My son lives in Colombia where Venezuelan refugees are flooding in to escape the dire conditions in Vzla. There's no way, no how that any Venezuelan leftists are doing squat to Trump or the US. They've got bigger problems there than ours here in the U.S.

    This video was from a year ago, before the election of Maduro. Imagine if you can, that the conditions in the capital of Venezuela have gotten much worse since his illegal election and you might understand what little concerns they have for any other country, especially the U.S. Oh yes, and the Russians have quickly moved in to TRY to take over their offshore oil riches. From Chavez to Maduro and now the Russians, they're all getting rich from the largest offshore oil reserves in the world, and the people are getting nothing. That's what an authoritarian autocracy looks like folks. Beware.

    I have a great idea for you. Get yourself on the e mail and whisper in Pence's ears what you want him to believe. Tell us when he replies that he believed you. You beiing the expert on this and all. LOL

    I think you may have misunderstood my post unless you've had a sudden conversion to neoconservatism, in which case there's no cure. :)

    Given the staggering shirk from duty on the part of Democrats, that just might be closer to true.

    First you must not be talking of we republicans or you would say republicans. By right you mean others. I think few are that way. States in general pay for prisons and executions. If you happen to pay your state funds, you are buying executions.

    I will remind you.

    "Regardless - what does this have to do with the fact that there are no Middle Eastern (ISIS) among the caravan and that Pence is an idiot."

    You must admit that the way you phrase things, sure looks like the bite marks of the democrats.

    Maybe I should just call you out to find out how you know there are no ISIS in that caravan!!!! Isis is more than just middle eastern too. And last, you called the republican VP an idiot. HE has vast resources. Explain why your resources beat his resources.

    Thank you and of course those hating republicans are not democrats. They just speak like one.

    It has been reported that there are no ME in the caravan - also - they would stick out like a sore thumb. A total of ZERO foreign fighters went to join ISIS in Syria from Guatemala.

    Pence - as is the case with Trump - is not basing his assessment on "intelligence" - it is political pandering. If there was such intelligence the nonsense claim would not have been dropped - as it has been.

    The reason Pence is an "idiot" is because Pence is an idiot. Pence is the MVP "Mandatory Vaginal Penetration" candidate. Only an idiot would suggest such legislation. Idiot is not the only term - nasty conniving arrogant scumbag who wants to force his extremist religious beliefs on others through physical violence are also apt descriptions. Pence is a Goblin RINO - someone who hates individual liberty/ the main principle on which this nation was founded and the he hates "Republicanism".

    Then you have this brain dead idea that anyone who disagrees with you must be a Democrat. This is as pathetic as it gets - especially given that you obviously have not the faintest idea what Republicanism is or - have no idea what Pence stands for.

    Either way - Pence is a Goblin and an idiot. Perhaps he could use his "vast resources" to figure out that there is no consensus among subject matter experts that a single human cell is a living human. That in fact the consensus is the reverse.

    This would make no difference however as Pence is hell bent on forcing his warped religious beliefs on others through physical violence. He is a control freak and an Autocrat.

    I have no love for Trump but am horrified over the idea of him being impeached - on the basis that Pence would then be President.

    Try one more time, with no hyperbole nor claims you can't back up. Please, not the left wing media. Never again from there.

    I backed up all of my statements. It is not my fault that Pence's characteristics are hyperbolic - calling a spade a spade however is not.

    One does not a "left wing" source to know that Pence - the MVP "Mandatory Vaginal Penetration" candidate - is an extremist religious anti abortion crusader.
