As many as half of the originals in the first caravan to the U.S. have either turned back or decided to stay in Mexico after organizers demanded, and were refused, buses to take the remaining immigrants to our border. The heat, lack of sleeping accommodations and long days of walking are taking their toll. Added to that, word has now reached the caravans that the U.S. is sending massive numbers of troops to the border to turn them back.
It also appears that the Mexican government may be actively attempting to slow down the progress of the caravans. Caravan organizers themselves appear to be confused and uncertain of what to do next.
Just where this will all end, nobody knows for certain. Where the blame is ultimately going to fall is anybody's guess. One thing is now clear: they won't be at our borders to disrupt Election Day.
