Some headwinds for the house, but they feel like they have a shot to hang on to it. they felt that the kavanaugh hearings, the anger, their man got on. we will see if that will still happen. but now we have this cara vanish which newt gingrich mentioned again this morning, saying it will be kavanaugh and the ca caravan. so much of this was about stalking up fear or concern about immigration and hes doing it again now. >> to your point, here he is laying out kavanaugh and caravan. >> i think two ...

Uptick from the white house podium wednesday even though her own department last fall said the southern border wurz the most secure and impervious to crossings it has ever been. what about the caravan that one fox news host called an army. it is roughly a thousand people taking part in an annual process designed to call out humanitarian rights abuses. mexico never broke it up, as they confirmed on tuesday. the caravan split up into smaller groups once it reached mexico as it does every year. wha...

In a tweet president trump told congress to do something about our, quote, country being stolen. he claims he took matters into his own hands by pressuring mexico to break up the caravan and sending troops to the southern border to handle the crisis, something he said no president had done before. but much of that is incorrect. it is true that apprehensions at the southern border went up from february to march. here is march 2018. look at march 2016, march 2014. here is march 2013, remarkably si...

Whether this is an attempt to fire up the base and/or cover up the fact that the big, beautiful wall only exists in sound bites. those are the facts. just this morning president trump tweeted about the caravan again saying the caravan is largely broken up thanks to the strong immigration laws of mexico and their willingness to use them not to cause a giant scene at the border. what is really happening with that caravan? cnns leyla santiago is live in pueblo, south of mexico city, where some of t...

A lot of talk this morning about a caravan coming out of central america. president trump again tweeting about that caravan of more than 1,000 central americans seeking refuge in mexico and the u.s. saying, the caravan is largely broken up thanks to the strong immigration laws in mexico and their willing to use them so as not to cause a giant screen at our border. joining me is buzzfeeds national correspondent adolfo flores who is traveling with the ca caravan. what is the point of the caravan? ...

Tweets are official policy, alisyn. you can see there was a response on easter sunday from a foreign minister in mexico pushing back on the fact that the president is suggesting that mexico was letting in all these droves of people and wasnt enforcing their lawyers. clearly someone got to trump and youve seen in the subsequent tweets he keeps praising their strong immigration laws. now what will be interesting is we know he wants to keep the focus on this topic. he wants to talk about the danger...

Breaking up, some have broken up and gone on their own. all but two of the folks we talked to here said they have absolutely every intent to get to that u.s.-mexico border whether there is national guard or whether president trump likes it or not. so whats the plan for the big chunk of the caravan that is right now on its way from about six to eight hours south of where we are now to come here. i just spoke with the priest at this church. he tells me today he expects 20 buses of people, women, c...

Theyre migrants. the organizers are also activists, so the caravan serves two purposes. one so get people safely -- >> go ahead. >> one is to get people safely through mexico and help them not get caught by immigration, and the other is to highlight why they are leaving in the first place. its poverty, violence and political instability. >> what is the truth as youve seen it traveling with these migrants about whats happening. have they dispersed, is this as a result of some crackdown as preside...

Doing, they are staying in mexico given that they have permission. i spoke with one man from guatemala yesterday who said, look, i dont like the situation in the u.s., i dont want to go there. im going to stay in mexico, and he is afraid of what president trump said. but the overwhelming majority, alisyn, theyre saying, huh-uh, cant stop us. thats the goal. thats where were going, u.s. >> so interesting leyla. have they heard about president trumps plans to send national guard troops to the bord...

As the caravan went up. several of the group -- a lot of people in the group are going to stay in mexico. others are going to ask for asylum at the border. other people, slightly smaller, were going to try to cross. but those numbers right now are very in flux so i dont know. to be honest, i dont know how many of these people are left at this point, before the trump tweets. >> its very easy when we talk about these matters, we do have laws that have to be enforced. the asylum-seeking process is ...
