Lies, lies, lies. That about sums up everything the Trump administration has had to say about the “migrant caravan,” AKA group of asylum-seekers banding together for safety, heading mostly on foot from Honduras through Mexico toward the United States, which is still more than 900 miles away.

When members of the Trump administration, including Mr. #2, Mike Pence, make claims such as “we apprehended more than 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists per day at our southern border from countries that are referred to in the lexicon as ‘other than Mexico’―that means from the Middle East region,” they’re taking the total number of terrorists or suspected terrorists from all countries apprehended at all ports of entry, and saying that that whole number are Middle Easterners coming over the southern border. That’s two lies in one!

Trump’s own State Department, in a report issued in July 2017, found “no credible information that any member of a terrorist group has traveled through Mexico to gain access to the United States.”

When Trump administration officials claim Democrats are somehow behind the caravan, they offer no evidence—and seriously, why would Democrats be promoting something that Donald Trump would be 100 percent certain to use to whip up racist fears heading into the elections? When they say there are gang members and criminals in the caravan, Republicans offer no evidence.

It’s one lie after another, and even when there’s a shred of truth in something a Trump administration official says, you can bet that it’s less than a half-truth—maybe an eighth-truth—and it’s being twisted to imply things the shred of truth buried within does not support.
