The Department of Homeland Security revealed Tuesday that the threat of “fake families” declaring asylum together at the United States’ southern border is no joke; more than 150 illegal immigrant “families” have used non-familial children or adults to attempt to convince border patrol agents to allow them to remain in the country.
The Daily Caller reports that “there has been a 110 percent increase in male adults showing up at the border with children. Further, DHS separated 507 illegal immigrants between April 19 and September 30 because they fraudulently claimed they were part of a family unit.”
Customs and Border Patrol separated 170 “families” for being unable to prove any family relationship. In 139 of those cases, children were removed from the custody of unfamiliar adults. In other cases, “families” were separated after Border Patrol agents discovered that a person claiming to be a child was actually older than 18.

Can you imagine the outrage if America let underage children into our country with adults other than their parents/ guardians?
Human trafficking at its best (or worst)!

So then it's possible rich people are funding some of this purely to get kids into the country, are these kids for adoption or perhaps something more insidious...

Possible , although seems unlikely in that many didn't know there was even a gaurded border they had negotiate.
The Department of Agriculture, via the Mexican government, assures potentially ineligible immigrants that they can still apply for food stamps on behalf of their eligible children without giving information about their immigration status, according to documents released Thursday by Judicial Watch.
A USDA Spanish language flyer provided to the Mexican Embassy, according to Judicial Watch, reads that if potentially ineligible immigrants want to obtain benefits for their children they “need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children.”
The Daily Caller has reported extensively about the USDA/Mexico partnership that seeks to promote taxpayer-funded nutrition assistance among eligible Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America.
“USDA and the government of Mexico have entered into a partnership to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance,” the USDA explains in a brief paragraph on its “Reaching Low-Income Hispanics With Nutrition Assistance” web page. “Mexico will help disseminate this information through its embassy and network of approximately 50 consular offices.”

I don't doubt that, however this is far more nuanced than simply a political stunt , no doubt politicians are using this event to further their political goals but I highly doubt they are financing it.

It's all good
If it is the democrats financing this now, who was financing the caravans when Obama was president and if democrats were then why didn't they take advantage then especially considering many here believe the media to be 90% liberal?

So the 95% of them that are military aged males that are riddled with criminals...
Why can't you help them?
Drive to the border, take 50 or so in, give them some spare keys to your house and a debit card.
After all, the world they left is poor and corrupt.
So why can't you help them?
